Arizona Diamondback public relations spots
Go to women after 800 resumes
Told you so

Arizona Diamondbacks have announced two public relations positions, one receiving 800 resumes. You tell me if these two were the most qualified? Kristine Hedlund, former publisher of Phoenix Woman Magazine, was named director of community affairs. Tina Manzo, a former publicist for Playboy Enterprises, was named manager of corporate communications.
