I applied for an open position in Communications at ComEd in Chicago. For the last two years (yes, 730 days!), I have seen positions become available and consequently, I have continued to apply. I landed three interviews and completed a writing test. I have never received a rejection letter and continue to try to become employed there. I just learned that another position was filled by internal candidates. Here's the advice I have for other interview candidates: don't waste your time. ComEd will string you along telling you first that they have a hiring freeze and then they end up hiring someone on the inside.
