Why are people responding to this story? Wouldn’t you think applicants need to be able to understand that channel 8 is not the company, and will not be doing the hiring.

Are you people THAT stupid? If you’re posting here to get a job with the company the news article is about there’s a pretty good reason that you’re looking for a job. LasVegasNow has nothing to do with Telus – its a news page.
