You wait ages for a blog entry and then three come along at once.

Well, that wasn't a long wait. Already had a call back from the 'Jane' in personnel to say that in actual fact I was being offered an interview (it'll be on the 12th of next month) and the reason for the delay was due to the illness of a member of staff. Which I guess is understandable - if somewhat irksome that they don't have a mechanism for coping with that.

Though it does raise the spectre of my current post where I went for a job interview a couple of weeks afterward the one for where I am now, and was offered that job but knew that I'd much prefer the first. Phoned them up with nothing to lose I felt, and ask what the situation was whereupon I got "oh, didn't anyone tell you you've been offered the job?" Ummm, no.

Still, personnel department malaise aside, I still think I was quite right in thinking the post was definitely the one I wanted out of the two. The other will always have to remain a path not taken.
