garnigal | Work search update - close but no cigar

I had an interview at the local uni and I rocked it.

So I waited patiently, hearing from my references that they'd called and I was a shoe in.

And then they called. And it wasn't exactly what I expected. Maybe better?

Basically, the role includes some 'front end' stuff - interfacing with the public, basic admin. I'm... 20 years into my career. I'm past it. The role also had some Knowledge Management, which is what drew me.

So the call was, we love you, we want you, but... we want you to write and organize, not admin. So if I'm patient, they will get a new role banded with HR and offer it to me in a couple weeks.

Because it's a university, the jobs are offered as temporary. So I need to find out the likelihood of the job only lasting a year.

On the same day, a job I've been waiting for finally got posted. It will take a month or two to get through the hiring process, and its private industry, so very sidfeeebt from the university life.

Some hard decisions in my future, but not a bad place to be.
