We're All So Screwed
So, a few days ago, the MTAS/MMC review committee finally came out with their Master Plan to fix this ongoin fiasco.....Give everyone an interview!
Yes folks, instead of having some kind of preliminary filtering system to decide on shortlisting people, that's been scrapped, and now on April 19th, everyone will be asked to re-pick their 1st choice place/speciality, and will obtain an interview there (unless you've already had one there). What does this mean? Well.....
Those who didn't get an interview are happy, because they get to jump into th fire now as well - and with interview questions/general information now being out, everyone knows what to expect from their interview and can prepare accordingly......possibly discriminating against those who had early interviews.
Those who had multiple interviews are happy, because they can gauge what their best interview was and pick a first choice from them, or have a completely new interview. Either way, they have 4 places to be chosen from.
Then there're those (like me), who only had 1 interview. Not much to gauge on how well the interview went, these people can either move their interviewed place to 1st (if it isn't already), or they can choose a new place for interview. What's the problem with this? Well.....
The competition statistics/ratios have been released, so now everyone knows how popular each place is, and how over/under-subscribed it was, and how likely they might stand a chance. This means just like applying originally again for Round 1, except with a few more statistics to play the guessing game with, and knowing that noone is going to get dropped this time as there's no shortlisting - just an interview +/- CV.
This means that statistics are going to go out the window, as everyone starts second-guessing them. Some will apply to the most popular places hoping others will leave them. Some will apply to the least popular places. Others will stay where they are, hoping they did well enough and that the numbers won't change enough to make a big difference.
And when are they going to tell us if we get to keep a job or not? JUNE! Most probably not even at the start either. Wheich means if you have no job, you're screwed, cause then over 8,000 of your colleagues are going to try emigrating at once.
Well done Patricia Hewitt and the Labour Governement. I salute you for your continued stupidity.
