UCLAN Lecturship

Failed to get this. Feedback was encouraging. Basically I pitched my presentation (nominally to first year students) at too high a level. Also my teaching experience was not enough.

royal mail

Applied for a temporary job, 20 hours delivery with driving. Might be quite enjoyable with all the walking. Was ready for the incompatibility of their test and Linux this time with my revived windows PC.

Huddersfield

Rejected.

DCS RA

Interviewed for a job modelling E-coli. Was the only candidate, but failed. Didn't really understand why they interviewed me anyway. I don't have experience of agent based modelling or even an O level in biology. The lack of biology is the given reason, but was clear from the start on my CV.

Interview at Huddersfield

They want 4 RAs to increase research activity. I've been interviewed, but then got a letter saying they would not complete the process for a while. Interviewing more candidates I guess.

Job at MRL

Went to the Mixed Reality Lab in Nottingham for an interview. They believe I had limited skills in HCI and interface applications and that my skills laid with GIS. Only ten years of application interfaces on my CV though :) I must have failed to get something across I guess, although with a broad CV like mine it is always possible to say too much of X and too little Y. I guess competition was stiff again.
