Rocket Science

Ok this is too funny. Just shows what I have to deal with on a daily basis. We here at my department have a position open for a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) specialist. This position has been open for at least 6 months now. Since this is a state job our pay is not real good and a person with this experience can make 30% more in the private sector. Our last two GIS specialists quit and one went to work for the city of Little Rock for a lot more money and the other went to work at a local bike shop. Our department pretty much runs an ad for this position in the paper continuously. Well we finally have had someone apply for it. They sat up an interview with this person for Wednesday. Well now that interview has been cancelled because they want at least two people to interview for it. That makes since if we have numerous people applying for this position. We don’t. It has been 6 months and we just have gotten one person to apply. I don’t think we will be getting another one anytime soon. Do they really think that this first interviewee will just sit and wait until we find someone else to apply? Needless to say that position will continue to sit vacant indefinitely. Come one boys this is not rocket science!
