UPDATED @ 2:00 PM   

I called the Houston County Commission Chairman Mark Culver Office. Culver's Assistant transferred me to the Houston County Personnel Director Sheri Thompson's Office. I got her voice mail and left a voice mail message concerning the problem.

At 1:39 PM Ms. Thompson called me and said the problem had been fixed. I said it has been down for several hours and that something needed to be done to extend the time. Ms. Thompson asked me why I did not notify her of the problem prior to this article. I said I guess a lot of people needed to notify people. But I could not find anywhere in my job description where it stated that it was my responsibility to teach her how to do her job.

So I guess that the problem is now fixed.

But, how is it my job to tell the Personnel Director of Houston County how to do her job? Perhaps if she came to work on time and stayed until the correct time to get off she could do her job.

HOUSTON COUNTY:  Houston County Commission Chairman Mark Culver is ALWAYS up to some slime and games.

Culver and Houston County Personnel Director Sherri Thompson advertised for resumes for Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management Director. They advertised with a web site called "Indeed.

Click for website

The job announcement reads applications are available through 4:30 PM on September 19, 2016.

Well, it is 12:38 PM Central Standard Time on September 19, 2016. And the web site "Indeed" that Culver and Thompson advertised on will not accept applications.

In fact it reads "This job posting is no longer available on Indeed" at 12:38 PM.

Culver has multiple times pulled con jobs on the Emergency Management Job. In fact Mark Culver is,  in my opinion, a registered liar. And this is an example of the cons that he pulls.

So while the place Culver and Thompson advertised on, you can not submit your application. So those who waited until today, Culver and Thompson have already rammed it to you.
