Personnel Matters
Jan. 9th, 2010 04:15 pmAfter many late nights, I have finally reviewed the application materials of all those who expressed interest in various open or soon-to-be-opened positions in the departments I oversee. This whole business has been exhausting; the good news is that many excellent individuals will have new opportunities as they move up into positions of more responsibility.
Lucius, I do apologise: while I found your assessments invaluable and relied on your recommendations in most instances, there were a few I couldn't accept. In particular, the young lady you endorsed so highly simply did not have the qualifications for the job. I certainly understand why she is eager for a change and I'm sure we'll be able to find her a position somewhere in my division if she's interested in Protectorate Affairs, but not at the Department Director level. I expect there will be quite a few openings in the Division of Education, some with significant responsibility -- do her interests lie in that direction at all?
