Got an interview for a 'proper' job on thursday...:)
Got to be there for 10.30 and my interview is at 5pm (I am assuming I will get fed and watered, and probably a bit of a guided tour sorta thing)
I have to give a 10 minute presentation on:
'my research, summarising methods used, and showing its relevance to the Policy Oriented Social Sciences agenda.' :stars:
feck!:huh:
:hic:
Given the timetable as outlined, one suspects there may be more to it than a 10 minute presentation and an interview.
a proper job?:huh:Quote:

jobs come and go, as long as you find the right one or else make your own.
Are you offering something, jp?:kiss:
edit: quote needed i think
Public policy research...case studies, analysis using largely qualitative tools, literature review, write papers,reports etc. Contribute generally...which means a bit of dissertation supervision, the odd seminar and maybe a bit of teaching....which would be nice.Quote:

I have lost the fucking notes I wrote when I phoned them up for more info.....bollocks.... :hic: They were good notes as well, about 4 pages...bollocks, bollocks, bollocks....
:hic:
You'll do fine, sArA-this I know. ;)
Have you decided that randomly quoting crap is the way forward?Quote:

To be fair your explanation was all but unintelligible to pretty much everyone else here.Quote:

erm...emo? :unsure:
Not sure if it's relevant to this thread, but 'Emo' is often used as a kinder way of saying 'attention whore'.
whatever :dry:Quote:

Whatever you do, don't forget to b reak out some humor adlibs from time to time. It helps relieve a little pressure from you and may buy you some time to think more meaningful ideas during the presentation.
I usually do exactly that in these situations....although they tend to be based more on nerves than wit. :lol:Quote:

Wish you success sArA :)
Gud Luk :01:
Thanks peeps :)
Spent the whole day writing the presentation, its too long I just know it....but I bet I will talk so quick it will be over in 2 mins!

Good Luck!! Relax and breath, relax and breath. You'll do fine, remember they need you.
I think you mean breathe.Quote:

DON'T SWALLOW THE AIR!
You'll either start burping or farting IMMEDIATELY!
And don't HYPERVENTILATE!
Passing out is not good, either...
Oh, what to do? :O
Good luck :D
Good LUCK!!!
Well?
How 'bout it, Doc? :huh:
I think I buggered up some questions....they asked me some stuff about normative theoretical stuff that completely threw me! :lol:.
I won't know until Tuesday evening as they have 2 others to interview on Tuesday. What a bugger....:dry:
I've just got to sit and wait although I don't think I did too well to be honest. I am a bit out of practice after being a doley for 2 months :blink: :
A good way to tell if its normative theoretical is to hold it upside down, if it sticks to the bowl, its normative theoretical :ermm:
I wish I had said that.....:lol: :lol:Quote:

On the bright side...it was 1 1/2 hour journey each way which would have been a pain..... and its still nice weather....so I painted my front door frame and cleaned my windows...meh.

Hope so manky.....it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that we still haven't sold BF's house after that git pulled out 4 days before completion....hence one wage and 2 mortgages at the moment. :(
No holiday this year then..meh...back to the sunshine.
You English and your mid evil house buying ways.
Yeah, I heard that in sunny Scootlund people aren't allowed to do that without paying some kind of fine or somat. I wish it was so here too, it really should not be allowed to keep people hanging on for 4 months and then to withdraw a few days before....it really is not Cricket at all!
