After I interviewed for the Managing Editor position, this is thank you I wrote. Huh….

Dear Steve:

Thanks for the day at the Powder offices. It was both challenging and fun. I mulled your interview questions over on the way home, and couldn’t help but laugh a bit. “What makes you snap?” Is roughly equivalent to “have you stopped beating your wife? Answer yes or no.” In an interview situation it is never easy to jump into a topic as awkward as the last time I snapped. Yet in the face of questions like this, and “rule breaking” one is left with two alternatives, the truth, or a bald face lie so transparent as to be pathetic. “I, sir, never snap!” was the obvious, yet unacceptable answer. At any rate, I enjoy mentally awkward situations, and in retrospect it was fun.

The group at Powder seem like a great team, and it was good to meet with everyone. I appreciate your effort in putting the day together.

I rudely neglected to thank you for lunch, so please accept my belated thanks.

Sincerely,

John Bresee
