I am doing admin stuff at work again. I have 60 CVs to go through, type up addresses, send out summons to aptitude tests, and make up new files. My supervisor has sworn six ways to Sunday that this is the very last batch, after which we'll be shutting down the hiring process. We have more than enough people to sort through, and not nearly enough positions for them all anyway.

In the meantime, though, it's slow going. There's a lot of tiny details and finicky and annoying stuff like fussing with labels and file folders and bleah.

So once this posts I'm ducking my head under the ocean of paperwork, and likely not emerging until 18:00. Wish me luck!

Paperwork sucks, but oh how this:

"We have more than enough people to sort through, and not nearly enough positions for them all anyway."

sounds like it'll be a blissful change!

God, I hope so. The actual hiring process is so damned long that we'll be lucky to retain 10% of them.

*crosses fingers*

10% is all we need, really. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

Ocean of paperwork - yuck. (((hugs))) and hang in there.

slow but steady, and then lots of new people and a lot less overtime!

Why does 'more than enough people people' and 'not nearly enough position' not convince me that they'll hire enough people they need to not put you all on stress leave... Good luck though.

Hee!

It doesn't convince you because we've done this little song and dance before. The problem isn't attracting new people, it's having them stick around long enough to go through the WHOLE hiring process, which takes from six to eighteen months, depending.
