Job nonsense 

I'm starting to suspect that this job I'm applying for is a front for a hire they already have lined up, like they're poaching someone from another school and need to pretend to be hiring. Either that or they really, really don't have their shit together and don't know what they want.

Job nonsense 

I am trying to view it as not a total waste of time either way because like, I wrote a cover letter and a teaching statement and made a comprehensive CV, but it is sort of annoying realizing that it might not even get read.

@ingrid That sounds incredibly frustrating and if they’re stringing you along, I hope someone strings them along someday

@MinervaArcher I mean I understand how it happens! I'd genuinely feel strung along if I get an interview or something and it turns out it was always rigged, but at this stage I just wonder if I gave myself extra work when I'm already busy you know
