I always assumed that he worked for the Cubs human resources department. I can assure you that they're far from desperate, but you can never have too many applicants, and they'd probably like to have as many Cubs fans as possible filling PR an marketing related positions because they'd have an entusiasm for the job that could not be replicated by your average grad. If you want passionate and mostly knowledgeable Cubs fans this would be the place to post the openings.
