It's that time of year...
Jun. 22nd, 2006 12:06 pm... for me to become a migrant in search of work again. Or, to put it another way, looking for a job as my contract nears its end.
I can't help feeling it's getting harder. This time last year, I was regularly getting shortlisted for registrar interviews. Just rang Newcastle, and wasn't shortlisted for their Reg posts. So... bit depressed about that, since it means I wasn't even in the top 12 candidates. :(
In travel news, it's interview time for SHO jobs....
Newcastle yesterday
North London tomorrow (Wexham Park)
Then fly up to Scotland for the weekend to see Richard
Then fly back down Sunday night
North London interview Monday (Mount Vernon)
Then back to Swansea until Friday, when I have ANOTHER interview in North London, this time for the RAFT fellowship (a research job with on-calls tacked on, basically). I expect that one to be a rough interview, especially as I'm far from convinced it's in my best interests to be doing an MD, since I'm already post of the way through an MSc, and it'd label me as an incurable academic!
But it _is_ a job.
Ho hum.
