Jobs
Here is a nice post on the futility of finding work. I take isssue, however, with the 4 workers for each job stat. I just applied for a job that wold normally be the province of high school students, there are, according to the email telling me I have the minimum requirements for the job, 135 equally qualified candidates moving forward to the next step in the hiring process.

ReplyDeleteYour situation isn't just the norm it's only reasonable given the miserable pay.I confess, though, I do find the full-time teachers who adjunct annoying.
ReplyDeleteWhere I work we call full time adjuncts lecturers.
ReplyDeleteKarl, I meant, for example, full time high school teachers who take on a course in addition to have full time work. Happy would I be if I had a full time lecture position. Speaking of the crappy state of the job market, have you read Berube's bit? It's really more depressing out their than Ithought.
