Guess who's landed another interview next week
Looks like a much bigger short leet so chances aren't in my favour but we'll see. Another weekend swotting up on the Morgan Review, HIGIOS 4 etc...
great news! good luck!
I didn't get last week's job, but I also landed another interview, this one I really want as it matches my Masters study and the location is ideal
We've a longer attention span than our Yankee pals

I am not just another pretty face.
I wanna speak to the manager!
Jebus I'm at the stage that I REALLLLLLY hope I get this job next week.
Amongst other things I'm dealing with needlessly, teaching wise we've got a dude who isn't actually fully qualified or registered to teach yet I'm stuck on a small team with.
He's been here a year or so now banking hours towards his registration but really not "getting" what we're about or how we operate (fwiw, my buddies in the Social Subjects department next door said he was an absolute nightmare when they tried to do him a solid and get some History teaching hours under his belt so it's definitely not an us issue).
Big pow wow yesterday for his benefit with the whole team.
- we should be doing this, we need to prepare that, good practice looks like x, y and z, the experts say and so on.
He comes to me today about something or other and starts talking about the meeting and going way off kilter with his ideas.
I reign him in and tell him the whole point of the meeting was to drive home that we need to be consistent as a team and consistent as to how we communicate and deliver to the kids.
His words, verbatim, after sitting with 50+ years of experience working with our kind of kids in that room yesterday......
"Actually I disagree, these kids thrive on novelty, not routine."
No, they're profoundly autistic, routine is literally one of the best things to keep them calm and safe.
They're not thriving in any way shape or form with you at this stage pal, you should maybe listen to the adults that actually know what they're talking about.
Crazy, the guy is mega intelligent (Phd) but has not got a clue.
Bunch of other stuff but this was just

Seriously, I spend most of my time working with/surrounded by people that have or are in the process of getting doctorates, post-grads, doing PHD's etc. It's not a mark of intelligence, it's being able to cope with the braindead academic system, maneuvering funding system politics and being able to poop out papers that are just about original enough.
Not to dick on everyone who has a PHD, I also know people that are fucking brilliant, but a big part of the academic world is completely detached from actual reality and is nowhere near what I would call intelligent.

You've just described my mate Stuart to a T. Nuclear physics PhD, no problem going to CERN and showing the boffins what's what but I wouldn't send him out for a pint of milk incase he came back with magic beans.
The dude in question is actually quite likeable but he's starting to burn bridges and either doesn't care or is totally oblivious to the fact people are annoyed with him.
Was a no.
Good feedback actually but it was the depute not the Head that phoned me.
not sure if I'm being precious but that's not really etiquette so I'm a bit pissed the head didn't take the 2 minutes to phone after going over for a walk round, spending the time prepping for it and so on.

Thanks
Yeah, it matches my masters study so it’s perfect, and it is very conveniently located. I can’t wait to start.
