job interview...

So if you recall I posted about a month ago about my work being in a "unknown" zone, due to the DoL regs on overtime, who qualifies as exempt, etc.

The Provost was making noises about a special teaching position for me, to let me work current full time gig as a part time job and to teach full time or closer to full time. No money lost, my 2 departments are kept happy, life would be good - if HR agrees.

Then last week the federal judge put a kibosh on the exemption stuff.

Being one to "trust everyone but deal my own cards" I saw the opportunity to apply as a developer for our student information system. Position is definitely exempt (so I can still teach) and even better it pays about what I currently make working both jobs.

Just got the call for an interview - Monday at 1.

What is weird is that in the 19 years I've worked here and the 5 positions I've held, I've never been interviewed. It has always been "get an app in to keep HR happy and get back to work".

Funny when circumstances seem to be piling up against you, then lead you into a better situation.
Hoping the interview goes well for you.

Cheers Richard

I'm interviewing to go back to the team I was on for 12 years next week. Sometimes you just have to keep HR happy.
