laura_seabrook | Job Application Panic Attack

I've been intending to apply for the Casual Librarians (Upper Hunter Campuses).

I was sent an email about it back on the 4th by a friend. When I went into Castle Personnel on Monday and saw Amy, I logged on and started to apply for it. Then I sort of had a bit of a panic attack. I saved what I'd done and said that I'd finish it later. Yesterday when I was over at Jenn's, she had another visitor who attempted to whip up enthusiasm in me. She wanted me to finish that application last night, and go out shopping for "interview/work clothes" in op shops today.

Sounded like a good idea, but when I got home last night I just couldn't think much of anything, or concentrate much, and technical problems with my scanner (which seemed to seize up only last night) distracted me. Today, I organised getting my graduation photos online (finally), and this afternoon I determined to complete the application. But...

...I look at the forms I have to fill out online. They want to know details about the following:

		Eligible for Associate (LIS) membership of ALIA;
		Demonstrated ability to manage, deliver and promote a wide range of library services;
		Proven ability to use a variety of electronic information sources including the Internet for research purposes and to instruct others in their use;
		Well developed communication, liaison and problem solving skills;
		Ability to work independently and as an effective team member;
		Experience in the use of computer technology for on-line library systems and student use computers;
		Knowledge and understanding of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
		Knowledge and understanding of Ethical Practice
		Knowledge and understanding of Ethnic Affairs Priorities Statement (EAPS)
		Knowledge and understanding of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)

...and my brain just seizes up!

The deadline's today, but it doesn't give a time. I'm going to go out the back and feed the pets, and unwind for a bit. Maybe when I come back in I'll be able to focus on this and complete the online application.6
