Instructional Specialist Skills Assessment
I just had the skills assessment for the Instructional Specialist position I was applying for at MPC, and I didn't end up scoring high enough with my auditory discrimination to get the job. She had me arrange and rearrange colored blocks according to the word she said. It was an interesting test so I didn't mind it despite not getting the job and all. Actually, it was probably just as well since I learned a bit more about it during the assessment and I probably wouldn't have liked the job anyway.
However, I got a call back from Kali at the MPC HR department about my references literally right as I got back in the door here at the parental units'. I told her that I didn't pass the skills assessment and she said that there are a lot of people at MPC retiring and a fair amount of positions opening up, so she said I should keep checking back at the MPC website for new jobs every two to three days. She mentioned several of the jobs that will soon be posted and some of them sounded pretty interesting, so I'll definitely be checking back with the MPC website. I was glad she called back, it was very good timing. And if I do decide to apply for another MPC job, the district application is already all filled out from this application of mine for the job I didn't get. All I'd have to do is change the position title.
It was definitely encouraging to hear that there are a lot of positions opening up at MPC. That phone call was a good antidote to having not gotten the job I was applying for. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from Jim Hall from the NPS ITACS HR department about the systems administration position over there. I sent him my cover letter on Friday and he said he'd be in touch, but he didn't say when. I'm hoping to hear back from him sometime this week.
