A while ago I
posted about a job I’d applied for as a result of a
blog posting…well, at that point some things were going on in my life which would have made it a major problem to move 500 miles down to Reading for this job…long story short, the situation changed.
In a couple of weeks I have the final part of the recruitment process for this same job; I’ve already been through a telephone screen and an in-person interview. So on April 19th I’ll be heading down to Reading to do a presentation to a bunch of people in the same team I hope to work on (the PSfD team…nice MS acronym
). I have to say, I’m really nervous about this…I’ll get the presentation topic 3 days before the actual presentation…being the
aspergery wierdo I am I will of course be reading a few dozen books before then to try and get a jump on the topic
.
So that’s the situation…well…it is kind of contingent on my Passport arriving in time (theoretically it should take 3 weeks but the UK Government being the way it is you never know…). Luckily I thought to check my passport just before the previous part of the interview process and discovered it had expired in December…and bizarrely I have no other photographic ID…so a long train journey may be ahead…
Anyway I really do want this job – I’m not really the type to pretend about such things – and my employer is fully informed as to the situation…so fingers crossed!
UPDATE: Passport arrived, flight booked...it's starting to seem a little to real now...gulp...and the picture in my passport makes it look like my face has been squished up against a bus...
