Was this job advertiswd anywhere? I did not see it posted on the blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was not. Apparently I missed an RFP posted last summer:http://www.ebrd.com/cs/Satellite?c=Content&cid=1395259175532&d=Mobile&pagename=EBRD%2FContent%2FContentLayout.
DeleteIt is often so difficult to find Ombuds jobs. There does not seem to one central place they are advertised, like in other professions.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if IOA maintained a classified site only for members and educated potential employers to let IOA know when they have a job opening. These organizations are not getting the best candidates if only a few see their job openings.
Come on IOA leaders.
I can't really fault IOA for their lack of a job board. It's difficult and time consuming to locate the jobs that I post and it takes some discretion to weed out postings for classical/advocate ombuds jobs. Employers almost never reach out to ask for me to post their position--maybe one in 100. Personally, I would prioritize other tasks for our volunteers and paid staff.
