11:12pm

Its 11:12 pm here in Sydney (actually probably later by the time I post this). Lucy was asked to call a school in Sheffield for a telephone interview for a teaching assistant job.


Apparently all of the other applicant are having face to face interviews today with the board. They also wanted Lucy to face the school board for her application. 

So she called up the school and began here telephone interview. Upon calling them, they came up with the bright idea of asking her to write responses to the interview questions and submit them via email to the board members within one hour so she could then be assessed as with other applicants. This is causing her great distress.

Alternatively they could have pressed the speakerphone button...

... just an idea.

Hey, stop making sense.

pfft that's just daft.

If that happens again, I'd definitely push for the speaker phone option. In interviews, you tend to ask more questions based on their answers to the original ones. It would have been much fairer to do it on speaker phone.

Lucy - if you don't get it then at least you'll know it wasn't your fault.

Whit - I would be surprised if I was making sense as I was slightly drunk when writing this.

Arjan - basically yes!

Kerry - I dont think it is anwhere near equal!
