I'm working on something - maybe a new talk - I'd like people to share horror stories about trying to apply for (public service) jobs..
Things like @puntofisso 's classic - https://medium.com/@puntofisso/when-i-spent-202-days-in-the-jaws-of-civil-service-recruitment-775ce584a32e or this from Beth Fox on the birdsite https://twitter.com/firebethfox/status/1009127223784329216

Join us for our first Practical Democracy Project mini-series meetup in Bristol on October 4th. We'll be getting together over a few drinks to see what's going on in the worlds of democracy and civic tech in the lead up to our next full event in Dublin. These smaller events will be a chance to hear interesting speakers and meet interesting people all working to improve democracy for citizens and governments alike. Held in the pub, the meetups will be informal and less structured to open up further dialogue around how to make government more effective. The discussions had will also then feed into the full events a few weeks later, the idea being to keep conversations and momentum going. For updates, or to suggest ideas for the day, drop us a line on Twitter: @delibthinks
