There are some moments from my childhood when I wished that time could be stopped; I wished the same yesterday, for the August bank holiday, Indian summers notwithstanding, represents the end of summer. From now on there is nothing but increasing darkness and cold.
It being the end of the month, it is a good moment to summarise the job search for August. I have applied for eight jobs. I don't count here applications in preparation with a deadline in September. I have had no interviews and one rejection, on the grounds that my experience in the area was 'not recent enough'. What can I say? I've lived too long, evidently. These jobs, broken down by sector are:
- Learned societies: 2
- Overseas: 2
- Universities: 2
- Media: 1
- Schools: 1
