Hiya everyone from an astounded Adam...
I received this today from the Jim Henson Company with regards to my audition submission (two VHS copies, resumé and cover letter):
Dear Adam:
Thank you for your interest in the Jim Henson Company.
Unfortunately, we regret that we cannot accept the submission of your creative materials, as it is currently not our policy to receive or review these. Therefore, we are returning your materials, which have not been reviewed by anyone at the company. We will, however, keep your resumé on file for future positions in hopes that one becomes available.
We appreciate your inquiry though and wish you continued success in your career.
Best regards,
Heather Dunkin

It isn't that I found this response resoundingly odd (I can just reapply when they are hiring, giving updates to my resumé as needed), but what caught me as strange, was that I received SOMEONE ELSE's material submission. I called Los Angeles, and found out (from a really rude receptionist) that there were bound to be mixups in the great amount of material they had on hand from people that they were writing the same correspondence to. The guy actually said "so what do you want US to do about it?" (yeah, I just kinda wanted to know what was going on to begin with) Hmm...either way, I'm not gettin' down, and I'm going to work on this indie project I've got in the works, keep at school, and reapply when they ARE hiring (whenever that might be...urg!)...question though, for Kev and whomever else got a "Workshop Invite" thing, when did you send your material, and when did you get the response? I'm thinking this was an odd occurence, due the fact that they haven't been hiring for ages (nor having workshops)...hmm...oh well...
Down but not out,
Adam

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened with your audition tape and the treatment you received when you had to call about getting the wrong material back. I wish I had some kind of sage advice or atleast something clever and witty to say to cheer you up, but for once, I actually can't think of anything, other than to say I am very sorry, and I am sure they bypassed something they were stupid not to take!
