Nothing....they are liars. You would think if your average cash-in per year exceeded 150K that your job is secure, well think not. Do not get injured because PrincetonOne will force you into Short-term disability and will pay you jack-sh!t.
I was well prepared for the interview. I ensured my Windows Server skills, GIS skills, and my working-with-councils skills were up to date. However, they asked a lot of questions that made me very suspicious internal promotion was going on, and that made me incredibly wary that I had no chance of getting the role. Bearing in mind I had worked with councils for over 10 years and even had my own software running in councils nationwide. I knew almost all the popular GIS systems and servers and literally ran public-facing services single-handed. On top of that I was the Senior IT Manager. Not trying to blow my own trumpet too much, but I knew my stuff and I knew council stuff very well. However, the questions I was asked were NOTHING like what was on the job description and were NOTHING like any technician or developer I know could prepare for. Most technical questions were aimed at certain unknown proprietary systems that almost nobody could use or know about unless they happened to work for, say a council that already used them. It seemed I was just there to 'satisfy the system'. As far as I know, councils are 'obliged to advertise all jobs' and not be biased even if they WANT to promote internally. However there is still a way of being biased, and that is to query knowledge at the interview stage that only internal people can hope to have. I guessed the following might happen - and it did - a role came up for a 'Junior IT Technician' a few weeks later for the same council. Funny how a lower position just 'opened up'! The pay was pathetically low in comparison, so I didn't apply for that one, and there was of course a chance that role may have already gone to someone else.

In tegenstelling tot inhoudelijke vragen over mijn Oracle kennis, werd mij verteld dat Finance op zoek was naar een rolmodel en hoe ik de werkrelatie met mijn collegae en team zou aanpakken. Ik vond de meeste vragen vaag en niet passen bij de functie waarnaar ik solliciteerde. Ook meer change & people management-achtig in plaats van Oracle implementatie en functionaliteit.
