We have restructured our staff yet again, trying to find a way to increase the system person's position now that we are hiring a new librarian. I calculated and fussed and parsed out the work every which way from Sunday trying to find an amenable work load for each position in my area.
We finally found a workable, yet collapsed solution, mushing the evening supervisor with reserves responsibilities, and trusting that we would be able to find a competent night person to fill the position. Lots of people shook their heads and gloomily announced that the hours were too late, too severe for anyone to want to work them on a regular basis. "You are out of your mind if you think you will get any applications for that job!" we were told.
Yet, lo and behold, before it even was posted, there was interest. I mentioned it to a friend who immediately sent her husband by to apply. Hardly before the ad was up, we had three applications. I am shocked that we got over a dozen solid applicants, several of whom were abundantly qualified. The job market is working for us is all I can say.
We perused each application, comparing them in a chart, and selected the two best candidates. They both look wonderful on paper. Let's see if they are as wonderful in person! Let the games begin.
