The Claytons Job
The job you have when you don’t have a job……
Back in January (yes, January) I applied for a job as a child protection case worker for a government organisation who shall remain nameless. In August, I attended an interview for said job. Yesterday, the 4th of October, I received a letter stating that I had been successful in my application and would be placed on an eligibility list for the next available position in my nominated location. Hello? Is this or is this not a job offer? Should I be excited? I think not. It’s taken 10 months for them to tell me that I may or may not have a position. Meanwhile, they are currently advertising positions again. Meanwhile, families who need help are not getting it, because the beaureaucrats (sorry, I don’t know how to spell that word) are still f***ing around. I know that I can be indecisive (hell, read one of my posts!) but really…..10 months to not make a decision? Not only do our tax dollars pay for this shit, there are people out there, children in particular, who don’t have a voice. They need someone to act on their behalf, yet this organisation can take 10 months to recruit (or not recruit) a single staff member! It’s just not good enough.
Not to mention the fact that I actually really, really want this job….NOW! They could f*** around for another 10 months! Thank God I’m not actually unemployed at the moment. I wouldn’t want to be counting on this position! AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
