My first job out of graduate school, forty years ago, was an office job at a large public university in the U.S. That university announced all nonfaculty job openings through a central office, and current employees were welcome to apply for internal transfers. I was not unhappy in the job I had, but I did interview a couple of times for jobs in other departments that paid a bit better and seemed more interesting. I didn’t get either job, but I came way feeling positive about the process, as I felt that I had been evaluated fairly and that other opportunities would come along eventually. If I hadn’t moved overseas a couple of years later, I might very well have continued working at that university until retirement.
