Honestly if I had to change jobs at this point in my life and it took more than text messages to get another I would really be stressed. The last 2 or 3 have been a call, a meal and we settled on a start date and pay. Or not. I'm like 3 for 5 with this approach.

Say baw!

Got your red plaid pajama coveralls, corrective black frame prescription glasses from Sam’s, and that favorite cocoa mug Mother brought back from Medugorje in ‘89 with Mary crying chocolate tears whilst praying for our sinners now and at the hour of our death all ready for Saturday?

Good luck to you and Cosmo on that list!

I have not interviewed for a job since 1994 and its been almost 25 years for my wife. It was still the old school approach back then

Getting a text to tell you they are giving you a job is kinda weird for us

Technically still around though Western Union doesn’t do them.

Last telegram I got was from my aunts and uncles who couldn’t make it to my wedding. They sent it to me the morning of my wedding. That was 1991.

Find the business in the Better Business Bureau online directory and request contact ("Get a Quote" or "File a Complaint") there .

The BBB will bug the living crap out of them until they respond.

I can think of no examples where an email is preferable to a written letter.


Yeah. Conveyed within seconds as opposed to days it over-rated.

Never internet stalk? Just show up at their house. Wear a bowtie and be there leaning on their vehicle.
