Just going over my resume before an interview and realising this is surely a role that can #GetFediHired ?

Inb4 "what kind of CS is this?"

I've spent some time the following industries: teaching/training (workplace training, university classroom, work placement, public engagement), farming/animal care/livestock management, arts/arts worker union organising, retail management/warehouse inventory, lab tech, manufacturing. I don't really CS, sorry in advance.

I'm no longer in that location. I'd be looking for wfh, Melbourne(ish) timezone, ideally part time.

Happy to travel anywhere in australia for reasonable amount of startup training and a few meetings a year. Could potentially travel to Melbourne/Adelaide/Ballarat/anywhere along that line for in person stuff a little more regularly.

I'm also unbelievably patient, interested in statistics and have an on the ground understanding of many types of field work. I've done a couple of papers that required me to gather my own data and do the analytics myself. They were first and second year assignments, so essentially tasters of the concept.

I definitely don't know how to do your analysis for your paper, but you wouldn't have to explain the concept of a transect or how to download R.

This is probably very clear from the above, but I am conspicuously well spoken* and presentable**.

Or as I prefer to call it Office Furniture Shaped.

*what utter bullshit this concept is. As if any dialect is inherently less valuable and this is anything other than classism.

**the idea that any human being is not "presentable" and shouldn't be seen in any role is just domestic violence on a systemic scale.

I would even go as far as to say lobby and/or front desk light fitting.

So weird going into an interview to be a postie with a resume full of management.

Them: delivering letters requires a lot of day to day health and safety awareness, can you give an example of a time in the past when you've become aware of a safety issue and what you did about it?
Me: well when I was warehouse night supervisor, the forklift team would sometimes want to play a game...

Forklift team plays game

This thread has become an excellent example of what to expect if you employ me.

I must warn you though, there is no level of pressure or emergency under which I become less of a Gonzo.

If you've got this far, here are the responsibilities of some other roles I've done.

I also made rock candy (the kind with your initials or business logo inside) for a while. Unfortunately that company went under.

Update: I'm currently doing pre-employment checks for the job mentioned above, looks promising. That job is casual, temporary and allows me to manage my own workload (awesome, love it).

What I'm saying is I'm still interested in a #FediHire situation.
