Interviews and Options
May. 18th, 2010 11:20 pmI had my NRMA interview today.
I went up to Coffee Snob's office (she has been very supportive and trustworthy in this area) to have some space to myself and the whole process took about 25 minutes. I was able to relate my current responsibilities and skills to the job as described. I am entirely confident that I could do the job and they sounded pleased. No hiccups that I couild tell and I felt very comfortable the whole time. The supervisor is someone who used to work in a very similar job to mine until the end of 2007.
They will be deciding on candidates for further interviews tomorrow, and there is a chance they may want me for a second interview in person in Sydney on Friday. So far no decision need to be made on my part. If I am offered the position, then I will have to work out how I want to proceed.
It has been suggested that if I am offered the job, I should speak to our Chief of Staff and be frank. I can say I have been offered a position and ask how this would impact future prospects, while making it clear that I am not trying to leave them in the lurch. I think I can trust him to be honest in the circumstances and being honest and direct about my situation would probably speak well of me. At any rate, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I have now met everyone who will be in the new Chez Canuck. There will be me and three women (jokes about me moving into a lesbian collective have already been made.) Everyone seems fine and pleasant, and I forsee no drama. More details will come out after I move. (Unless I end up moving back to Sydney.)
We lost at trivia by one point. If only I knew the other two most populous cities of Pakistan! Damn you Faisalabad and Rawalpindi!
