Eating My Own Words

[A Duke]

Okay, 2 days unemployed and have had 3 interviews so far. I have another 2 interviews lined up this week and am waiting on 2 companies/place to get back to me. From my impression, most health employers want you to go casual, no PT or FT. Which is okay by me because it maybe that foot in the door for that 'good' job. I must admit, I'm going to be a little 'choosey' this time and think about my options and potential employer. I'll be looking for a place that is vibrant and respects it's employees.

I get the feeling, overall, that the job market is very flat. Sign of the times. There is not much good stuff around, especially in the health sector which surprises me.

Anyhoo, this afternoon is free. Shed time!

Hi Scot,
Remember an interview is a two way street, you're also interviewing them to see if they are up to being your employer as well.
Best of luck

Management by thuggery I call it. We had a boss who specialised in this and loved nothing better than a good argument with anyone he picked on that particular day. It took us 18 months but we made his life so intolerable that upper management could no longer ignore it and transferred him to a new position. He has since risen far higher in the management tree which must mean that upper management appreciate his style. I have found that in general if a complaint is made against a manager it is a fruitless exercise doomed to failure as the complainer is never going to win due to managers not wanting to be seen to be acting against other managers.
