Getting to the bottom of it. August 24, 2007

In my last post I wrote about a job advertised by Midlothian Council. My hunch was that for whatever reason a mistake had been made when advertising the post.
At the time I had emailed their personnel department to confirm all the details were right and was given the assurance that there was nothing wrong in with the ad, thats why I mentioned it in my blog
Today I was contacted by a technician who had probed a little further. They were sufficiently concerned about the possibility of current Senior Technicians taking out grievances against Midlothian Council that they had been insistent in contacting a senior member of personnel staff to discuss the matter.
They immediately realised that there was a problem and contacted the school. This in turn apparently started a blame war, with personnel accusing the school for the mistake and vice versa.
Anyway, the upshot of it is that the post will be re advertised as a full time post and although their website still states the closing day as Friday the 24th the information pack when downloaded from the website states the closing date as 14th September.
Someone the other day asked why I bothered to mention it in the first place. Well, the reason is that I care passionately about my profession. I feel that if employers cant even take the time to ensure that the correct information for their technical support staff vacancies is available then it (1) shows a lack of respect for the important job we do and (2) shows a lack of organisation within the councils technical support service.
