Hello Everyone,

The Bunco Squad mail bag has been heavier than usual. That’s great, as far as we’re concerned! Feedback from our gentle readers helps us guide and shape the site, and confirms that we’re not working in a vacuum.

While we don’t respond to every message, rest assured we read every one. Some messages inspire articles, others… well, to be honest, we’re just not the authoritative voice on certain matters. Lack of a juris doctoris will do that.

We won’t leave you high and dry, though. We have decided to setup a means for Bunco Squad readers to connect with one another, share some war stories, and answer each others’ questions. We hope to open the forum shortly into the new year. Watch this spot for more info!

Enjoy!

In their quest to find the uber-candidate, more and more employers are
