Sorry people I wasn’t really here in the internet recently. And posts were quite less about science bits but sock odds (at least there were sock options). I have a temporarily paper reading block. It does not help, you guess. I think this might have to do with being somewhat tired making up new projects without ever having the chance to realise one. Not to say I should have necessarily had the opportunity to do most (I have to admit some were quite bad), but keeping your projects in a back drawer is sort of frustrating in the long run. Particularly when you’re too deeply committed (hey, they’re mine after all!).
That said, I had my first real position interview last month (next one by the end of the month, so be prepared to very slow blogging activity in here), and I realise I didn’t post anything about it. It went bad, but that’s not too bad as I was anticipating it. Curiously, it took a very unexpected flip, and I think it is illustrating a rather unfortunate side of science, that is, when people get so accostumed to a way of reasonning that any other must be fallacious.
I pondered the possibility for an actual post about it in here and couldn’t reach for a decision (note that it’s cold and I don’t think it would be damaging whatsoever). So why not let you decide? Here is a poll as to whether I should digress on an interview instant killer…
Je veux bien voter, mais je n’ai pas compris ce qu’est un “interview instant killer”…
Mon absence de pratique de l’anglais est très handicapante…
Ben un “tueur” instantané d’audition c’est un évènement agréable qui détruit instantanément toute chance de succès. Non?
ben ça dépend, si ça tue tes chances de succès à toi, c’est un peu nul non ?
Ben oui, mais en général tu choisis pas trop, quand ça t’arrive! :-)
et c’est la que ça devient drôle si je comprends bien ? ;-)
Oui, ça peut devenir risible. Ca fait des souvenirs en tout cas… :-)
