Jobs, qualifications
I have, somewhere in the works, a post about feelings of (in)adequacy and (in)competence and wait what have I done what do I want?-cakes.[1]
But I recently noticed a job announcement on Linguist List which I am actually qualified for. (I’m a little short in industry experience, but not that much.) I don’t entirely want it (place, and too much dependence on phonology, and I don’t want to quit this job), but I’m *qualified*. It’s sort of hard to believe: I have the skills and experience that someone might want.
It doesn’t actually make me feel more competent, but it’s cool anyhow.
[1] Yes, I am using it as much as I can. Soon it will be second nature!
