By way of #introduction, I could also mention that I am also a #GenderStudies scholar and #feminist.

I'm a #PhD of #Psychology and work #psychologist at the Swedish National Employment Service. I have a keen interest in #PhilosophyOfPsychology, #PhilosophyOfMind, #CriticalPsychology, #HistoryOfPsychology and #Phenomenology. I blog (in #Swedish) at https://fenomenologen.se. Is that enough as an #introduction?

I meant "I was refused…"

Refused another position that I was very much hoping for. And the other employer that have offered me a position – which involves weekly commuting – is stalling the process, which makes me doubt that they're taking things seriously.

Rather disappointed now.

They want to hire me.

Tomorrow, I will find out if I get a job I have applied for.

I will probably not get much sleep tonight.

I know an employer is considering hiring me. They have said they would call my reference persons, but they haven't done that yet.

Is it OK to give them a call and ask how things are going? Would that show interest or impatience and desperation?

I sent them an email and retracted my application.

Then they said I could do 40% distance work, despite the fact that I had clearly stated, in my application, that my conditions were at least 60% distance work. Then they went completely silent, as if that was unexpected.

This was a complete joke of a job interview. I felt as I was part of a group assignment on an introductory personnel management course.

I just had the most amateurish job interview I've ever experienced. They started by insulting me. Then they kept on talking about how great the workplace is, despite the fact that it was reported to the Swedish Work Environment Authority because of severe work environment problems. Then they asked what I do in my spare time. No question about my profession as a psychologist.
