I have an interview for a position in a University administrative role next week and, after three months unemployment, would welcome the job.

I could do with some insights into the problems likely to be encountered and ways to overcome them. If anyone works in a University or FE college who would be prepared to give me some pointers could you PM me.

Thanks

Dave

I don't know about working in a university, but I can tell you the problems you are likely to encounter both working in an office and dealing with other people: crap technology, particularly photocopiers; stupid mission statements supposedly demonstrating that the organisation is 'go getting/people centred/forward thinking/proactive' etc zzzzzzzzz; clueless management; time wasters and time servers; not enough hours to get all the work done. Add to this students, who despite embarking on a degree course, have no commonsense, people skills or even downright manners.

If you are lucky, there will be handful colleagues who will make your day bearable. :x

I recognise all those attributes of co-workers over the years and the number of different organisations I've worked for. Thing is though, I can't weave those thoughts into a 10 minute presentation of how I am going to make their world demonstrably better. Or perhaps I could make the theme 'A clot in every slot'?

you could turn up wearing a black polo neck tucked into some blue jeans, tell them everything they want to hear then just before you leave turn and say "Oh, and one more thing...."
