Actually posted this resume at Associated Press’ Job site.

Now I wonder if the human resources jockey on the other end reading this will laugh? I Actually posted this resume at Associated Press’ Job site.

Objective

To see if AP would actually consider the idea of hiring a Social Media analyst that was such a pain in the ass to their PR department.

Summary

Founder of Unassociated Press dot Net – Richard Kastelein proved to be a thorn in the side of AP when he rallied bloggers online to protest an asinine decision by someone at AP management (a lawyer no doubt) who decided that taking on a small volunteer blogger over copyright laws was a ‘smart’ litmus test.

It created glowing headlines like:

The AP, Hot News and Hotheaded Blogs – New York Times
DMCA takedown tiff not a battle the AP should be fighting
Here’s Our New Policy On AP stories: They’re Banned – Washington Post
AP faces copyright row with bloggers – guardian.co.uk

and the inevitable…
