Malabarista - now with added pony Started conversation Jul 29, 2014
I admit it, I'd been getting pretty depressed about my job prospects lately - I'd written nearly 100 job applications in the last year, for a handful of interviews that didn't go anywhere and a lot of "computer says no"s.
But then a friend applied for and got a research fellowship (he's now in Switzerland, working at the LHC!), and recommended their website to me.
I had a look, applied for a few, got turned down, and almost didn't bother with the last one.
A few weeks ago, I was clearing out my spam (
) and found an e-mail from that one asking me for a skype interview.
It was a very strange interview - they barely asked me any questions, just told me how great their company was - and told me they'd get back to me by the end of the week.
Now, 12 days later, they finally e-mailed - just when I'd lost hope, I've got the job!!!
It's a Marie Curie research fellowship in digital cultural heritage, with a possibility of doing a PhD. Perfect.
Oh, and I have to move to Vienna by the 1st of September, but that's not a big scary daunting load of organisational stuff at all, right?
Thanks, Marie Curie!

Wow! That sounds brilliant. And what better place than Vienna? Can't you sleep on Tav's floor till you find something?
Thanks, Marie Curie!

Congratulations!
It does get depressing, jobhunting and getting rejection after rejection, but there are jobs out there for us eventually - congratulations on finding yours, and it sounds great!
Thanks, Marie Curie!
