Flush Letter: Fwd: Application Status/Director, National Center for Public Health Informatics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (AD10-05-008)
We used to have fun in college posting our flush letters for job applications our senior year so I'm regressing. Perhaps it was my few journal publications in the field, no experience running any government agency and little experience with government grants. At least they were 'favorably impressed'. I think they are just jealous of Linux Medical News. That's it, they are just jealous! Enjoy. -- IV --- the forwarded message follows --- ---BeginMessage--- Title: Application Status/Director, National Center for Public Health Informatics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (AD10-05-008) The ranking panel convened just this week for the position of Director, National Center for Public Health Informatics, Office of the Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA. Interviews will soon begin for those applicants ranked as highest qualified. Although the Search Committee was favorably impressed with your training and experience, your name was not among those to be interviewed at this time. On behalf of OD, I want to thank you for your willingness to consider this particular opportunity at CDC, and to wish you every future success in your professional endeavors.

Iggy, Sorry to let you down, but I think it might be a form letter, not a handcrafted personal message just for you... But I doubt if you would have enjoyed the job - a mole working inside the CDC public health informatics beast tells me it is all about dealing with the large three-letter IT consulting firms to have them build, for vast sums of money, overly-complicated, much-too-generalised frameworks from proprietary components, using cumbersome and bureaucratic development methodologies, accessed via Microsoft-only client applications. Maybe that is slight hyperbole, but that's the general drift. Open source? Not the CDC way, my source was told. Free-as-in-beer software binaries, yes, but not open source. A pity, because many of the CDC public health software products have been and are incredibly useful to public health practitioners around the world - Epi Info is the best-known and most influential example - but the fact that they are not open source, just no-cost, leads to a long-term dependency on CDC which is undesirable, I think.
