Mi welais i’r hysbyseb 'na ond doeddwn i ddim yn siwr os oes gen i’r holl brofiad sy’n disgwyledig. Ar y llaw arall dw i’n hyderus bo fi’n medru dysgu popeth sydd angen mewn amser digon byr. Efallai dylwn i roi cynnig iddi? O leiaf, byddai’n gyfweliad diddorol.

I saw that advert but I wasn’t sure if I have all the experience that is expected. On the other hand I’m confdent that I can learn everything needed within a sufficiently short time. Maybe I should give it a go? At least it would be an interesting interview.

@Bob has such enthusiasm, that even if his welsh isn’t perfect (and its very good) that he deserves a chance.

I hope many welsh speaking organisations take this view. It really encourages us learners…i mean new speakers!

I always err on the side of ‘just give it a crack.’ The worst that can happen is, they say no. Best of luck, to you or any other SSiW’rs who have a go.

Go for it. That way, regardless of the outcome, you won’t wonder. Best wishes.

Just in the nick of time (deadline) but with a lot of verbiage missing from the application that I should have ideally included if I had found more time. I did supplement by attaching a CV but in the end it all depends on the competition.

With a career background in IT and academic Computer Science research, I will appear somewhat of a square peg in a round hole for the post. So if they are looking for round pegs then someone who has worked their way up the ranks of the Cymraeg i Oedolion establishment, ac ati, will be a better fit. But if they want enthusiasm in spades from a self-starter who could barely order Pysgod a Sglodion in Cymraeg two years back, but can now write an application in Welsh without stopping to translate, then I may be in with a chance.

I still think my application got cut short by the bell, but if I were selecting candidates then, ironically, a confident statement cut short might well stand out as worth further investigation at interview, versus a longer but more conventional application text.

I think you sound perfect for the job! They’d be mad not to give you an interview at least. :sunny:
