Teaching demo went as planned, interview itself was alright, successfully pulled off a full day of polite chit-chat with only a few overtly left-wing rants when appropriate. gently caress day long interviews though, seriously. In further academia and job news, I hopefully have a job! I've been told I'm the preferred candidate but my strange and foreign British qualifications still need to a Norwegian stamp of approval before they can send me the contract. I really hope it works out out cos I had to turn down another offer for it that wasn't as nice but would at least have given me a few months secure employment over the winter.

Cerv posted:if the by-election has already been held before the general election is called, the seat’s still contested again. even if Johnson announced it on that same Thursday for a laugh. That's pretty much what happened to Nicol Stephen. He was elected as MP for Kincardine and Deeside in November 1991, then a General Election was called at the start of March. It's not quite on the level of Henry Compton, who came to office in a by-election held the day after the government collapsed and lost his seat in the ensuing GE without ever entering the House, but I think the region is cursed; Kincardineshire has had no less than three MPs who served less than five months.

The one interview with them I had was the worst professional experience of my life. e: Looking at their wiki page made me remember this delightful episode: quote:Centrica entered the political arena in February 2014, by threatening an investment strike in response to the Labour Party's proposal for a price freeze. Caroline Flint, the shadow energy secretary, said: "It is not acceptable for companies to threaten that the lights will go out because they don't want greater transparency, competition and accountability".

So, interesting question. Now that Trump is officially, unequivocally, by his own words, an antisemite, does this mean that Boris Johnson is one too? After all, he's pushing extremely hard for closer links and trade deals with a country who's president, fundamentally, believes that all American Jews are not actually American, but rather Israelis? Why would Boris Johnson willingly associate himself and our country with that kind of thinking and logic, unless he himself is tacitly agreeing with it? (Of course, the trash press in this country will not pick this up, but will mention that Jeremy corbyn went to Seder with the wrong type of british jew, and hence is clearly the next hitler.)

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:E: I would be energised about working in a place that makes profits but only if it was me getting the profits Exactly, like, how the gently caress am I supposed to be energised about profits, I don't see any of them! Also the leadership question. Apparently I'm supposed to be consistently trying to take charge all the time. Which would make sense if I was applying to be a loving manager, but I was applying as a shelf stacker. I have worked as a shelf stacker for six years and you do not get points for trying to tell your manager what to do!  Following a hierarchy is "inconsistent" I'm not entirely sure that this thing isn't a loving recruiting tool or something. Like I mean a recruiting tool for anarchists.

I'm going to give the Co-Op some grace and say that might be a generic pre-screening quiz used by a lot of companies. Mostly because I want to continue liking the Co-Op.

I've applied to a fair few retail outlets and they all use some kind of personality screening and "here's some situations, how would you react" automated test, but I've never done one that was that nakedly "how much do you love capitalism? 1. yes 2. extremely" The other issue is that if you actually work retail as I mentioned, the "correct" answer for the test you know is wrong, so you have to deliberately answer what the idiot HR lot think is the right answer despite it being an answer that would fail you at the interview phase.
