ECR in a humanities subject. Applied for a teaching fellowship at a university that I would love to work at, and got an email today inviting me for interview. Hurrah. Except I am abroad on a family holiday on the day of the interview. Panel are not willing to interview me on a different day (and to be fair, why would they, when there is an oversupply of highly qualified and underemployed people competing for work), or conduct a Skype interview.
What really grates is that I could make the interview dates originally specified in the job advert (and purposely keep that week clear). If I had known that they would interview the week that I am abroad, I would have saved myself the time and effort of submitting an application (which was written while postnatal and sleep deprived with a baby hanging off my boob and 4 year old clamouring for attention). Grrr.
