I didn't get the job at the Dean's office.

Come ON, people. HIRE ME.

I guess I've inherited something of my father's prophetic dreams - last night I dreamed I worked there, and it was horrible. Maybe I'm glad I didn't get the job.

Have also been offered part-time work this summer where I used to work (Humanities Center, which was lovely). So I'll have combined work this summer. I'd just love to stop looking now. Hire me! Even though I have an MA, it doesn't mean I'll want to stage a coup and take over or something! Arrr.

WEll, it sounds like you've got the means to keep going- the summer part timey thing to mesh into the schedule- and obviously you're trying by putting all those apps out there. How many connections do you have? Is your approach in need of some *cough* social engineering? Politics are stupid, but getting to know the person you'll be hiring can make in impact, as can knowing people who can refer you to jobs that haven't been, shall we say... predecided? This happens, you know, so while I'm sorry you have to go through it again and rejection sucks, perhaps there's something besides 'flashy-thing' them to change the outcome.

I probably do need to do some more connecting. I try to follow up all my interviews with thank-you letters and those kind of things as it is, but I bet more of the same wouldn't hurt. Thanks for your advice :)
