1. Legal Aid<\/b> – called this morning to inform me that they aren’t hiring ANYONE for the job, since they have insufficient work to justify a new communications staffer (then why did you advertise it in the first place, I ask?) and even less funds to pay a new communications staffer (again, why put everyone through the fuss?). I was half-thinking that maybe it was just a really nice letdown, but they actually called two other people in my ministry who had interviewed for the position and said the same thing, so I guess they were for serious. <\/p>\n
Who bothers to set up and perform *multiple* interviews when they’re not even sure there’s a job to be had, or money to have said job with?? Baffling.<\/p>\n
2. MBS<\/b> – New job prospect at Management Board Secretariat (what do they do, you ask? I have No. Idea.), a writing\/editing job (permanent!) that I apparently put in my resume for several weeks ago (long enough to forget completely what the heck the job is all about) and just got a call for yesterday. So now I have a new interview, next Wednesday at 1pm. There is a formal interview, and then a writing assignment afterwards, so I’m a little nervous about this one. Also nervous because I seem to have pakced on a few pounds for no readily discernable reason and as such none of my pretty interview suits FIT MY FAT ASS at the moment. Alack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
