Jo,
I have been discussed a "dating" service for part timers recently with some friends. I know a couple of pairs of people within the University Outreach world who have successfully got jobs in this way, and I can definitely see the advantage to employers of this method.
The problem, of course, is that both of you have to make the right impact, but then there is an advantage that, particularly within science communication, the breadth of skills required can be so vast, that two people can bring two sets of skills and "make up" for each other's weaker points.
I'd be happy to join forces to create a pilot, very simple "dating" service and see how useful it is..... Would anyone else out there use it?
