@derekamann1 @JubaZiani @isabelpochet You never hired someone you'd worked with previously?

@JubaZiani @isabelpochet It’s rare these days to get 5 applicants with. CV that demonstrates these qualities. But for me it’s then all about performance at interview. I have never hired a postdoc based on their network.

@isabelpochet Isobel and others: all the best, you can do great things - probably with a better work-life balance than typical of academia. You've got this :)

@isabelpochet When a system has 100 brilliant people and only 5 places for them, then being one of those 5 HAS TO involve luck. The other 95 are good enough, too. Just less lucky. If you are one of those 95, you are still brilliant. You may also achieve More outside of academia 6/
