Job interview report

[jennyaxe]

So, I'm back from the job interview. I was one of the three out of 107 applicants who made it as far as the second interview, which sounds hopeful. The people I talked with were nice and likeable, and what I've heard about their systems sounds like the job could be interesting and challenging enough. As there's no on-call and they discourage overtime, I'd get a lot less stress than I've had here. They're two-three persons to an office, they've got flex hours (although the required presence is 9-15 instead of 10-16, which I've got now).

There might be trouble getting a parking space at the office, though, and I probably couldn't work from home very much. I can deal with not working from home, but I do need the parking space. Of course, I could try to get a doctor to sign my application for disabled-parking again. Last time, the doctor screwed it up, and since I've already got a parking space at current place of work, I didn't have the energy to pursue it.

They said they wanted to make the decision this week. That means Thursday at the latest, as Friday is non-work day here.

Anyone still inclined to keep their fingers crossed, please feel free to do so!

my fingers are crossed!

here in minnesota (usa) getting a disability parking thing was actually pretty easy. my doctor has a stack of forms in her office, signed one and handed it over, and then i just had to go wait in line at the county government office. i would offer to lend you mine as i bet it's valid there (although oddly looked at) but i need it myself sometimes, y'know?

Thanks lots!

In Sweden, disability parking permits is handled by each local council. Since parking is crowded and expensive in the major cities, it's much harder for those of us who live in or near Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmo to get them. If I'd lived some 100 kms north or west of here, it'd probably be easier. (100 kms south would still be in the Stockholm area, and 100 kms east would be very wet.)

Still, it's worth a try. Especially if I do get that job. It's bound to be easier if I can say that I've got this great new job only I can't take it unless I get the parking permit.
