I found a library job at DH’s University to apply for. The role is Program Evaluator. I am not sure exactly a) what that is or b) if I am interested in that. I am going to research tonight and if it is even remotely interesting, I’ll apply.

Ugh. No. The description is reminding me of my least favorite MLIS course. I think I gotta pass on this one.

That sounds sensible!

An acquaintance posted about a job at their partners employer. It looks like a tech company who wants an environmental professional, so I’m going to apply just for the practice. The job is remote but says “some travel required” which i have no intention of doing. I expect to get rejected. So maybe shouldn’t waste energy on it? Eh.

Sometimes is good just to do low level practice. I say it is a K vs R strategy. Some things we invest energy into. Some things we just throw over the fence because worst outcome is we get more interviewing practice.

But if even low level energy expenditures take away from needed activity it isn’t worth it

Got a standard rejection email from Stretch Job. Then found out, even though/probably because it’s an arts nonprofit (I know, I know) they’re declining to take a stance on Israel/Palastine, so they’re being put on blast by the poetry community rn. Maybe for the best that didn’t work out?
