Dharma Initiative recruitment drive draws closer

So, have you got the job?

If you replied to the TV ad placed by Octagon Global Recruiting in the commercial break during the Lost season 4 finale, you should already have had an e-mail back.

And you'll have realised that the posts are with ... the Dharma Initiative.

Yes, the same shadowy organisation who set up home - and all manner of secret bases - on the Lost island where Oceanic Flight 815 crashed.

The ad stated that Octogon Global Recruiting would hold a recruiting session in San Diego from July 24-27, 2008 - significantly the same date and location as Comicon 2008.

Applicants received an email reply from Octagon, with a carbon copy to someone by the name of "Hans Van Eeghen", under the subject heading Recruitment Information.

The email notified registrants that Octagon's recruitment drive would be launched at Comicon with an "exciting aptitude test", and that the full recruitment program would also be available online after this time.

But, just a thought, if you watched the ad carefully, you'll have seen a secretary typing in some very familiar numbers.

You have been warned ...
