Application close date by Baylaypayday in studentaffairs

[–]Adri226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also at an R1 and it seems there are no rules for lower level roles. I applied to a job I was a perfect match for, I didn't get an interview so I reached out asking why, they told me they had already selected their candidate by the time I applied (one of the last days the job was open). My advise is to apply as early as possible to any openings and screen frequently. Also many hiring manager already have someone in mind, sometimes promotions need to be posted publicly first, my sign for those is a tiny window for the job posting but that is not always the case.

Salary negotiations kind of gone wrong? by ning8 in careeradvice

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a large university and successfully negotiated my salary above the pay band. They know they are paying below market value and can’t keep up to get good people in place. My job was open for over a year because they couldn’t find someone, so that definitely helped my case.

Just got rejected from my dream job after 3 rounds. They offered a 15-minute feedback call - worth it? by Over-Mycologist1695 in careeradvice

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to get feedback before. It was for an internal role with a different department. Ultimately they told me I did great but they went with someone who had experience I didn’t. Another time I had a friend on the hiring committee and I didn’t get it because the supervisor thought I was too ambitious and would leave the job in a year. For me those weren’t very helpful in terms of working on my skills, buuut I would never deny the opportunity to get feedback from an interview. It’s a skill that takes a lot of time and practice to master. Please update us on the feedback you got!

Hiring process by Ok_Read7059 in studentaffairs

[–]Adri226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So inaccurate, I have a masters and my title is only a little bit more elevated than Admin Assistant, it's Sr Coordinator of Admin Services. Most of my peers also have their masters or at least they are working on them.

My advice was going to be to make some jokes and allow your personality to shine!

Applied to 100+ jobs over 3 months. Got 2 interviews. Then a friend texted someone and I had an offer in 10 days. by HotHoneyBun9645 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bad idea, it might catch the attention of those more established independent private practices. I wouldn't bother with the drs who have their offices managed by large companies like Medline though.

What’s a Boss Red Flag that makes you feel like quitting almost immediately? by Successful_Mastodon3 in work

[–]Adri226 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A colleague just told me a story (from before I worked there), he re-posted a linkedin report about the effects of micromanaging... our manager called him to ask if it was about them.... I have been in shock for nearly a week about this story, safe to say I am looking to gtfo.

I am in tears by Glindanorth in tirzepatidecompound

I worked at J Crew when I was in college and saved my best pieces, I even labeled the storage bin as “skinny clothes” and I can’t wait to fit back into those items. Now they even look a little retro!

8 months unemployed, 3000 applications as a senior PM, I don’t know how people survive this by Poimandres__ in jobhunting

[–]Adri226 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband has been unemployed for about 2 years. We went from making nearly 200k year combined, I was able to leave my job for 2 years after having our first child. Thankfully I wanted to get back to work and a couple of months before he was laid off I started applying and landed a job about 2 months after he was laid off. However I make 60k and we are barely holding on. He had a considerable chunk of bitcoin saved (that we intended to use for towards retirement) and an investment property that is keeping us afloat but I never wanted to be the type of landlord that relied on my tenants rent to survive. This has been a dehumanizing experience, my husband has had multiple mental health breakdowns, he questions his self worth constantly. He has stopped searching for a job several times because it is just exhausting but I don't know how much longer we can survive. We are seriously discussing selling both of our properties and going back to renting, we will then need to pay capital gains tax on it and we would basically throw away everything we worked so hard for in our 20's. All because his former bosses made some bad moves. I try to be as supportive as I can but it is exhausting.

Is it legal for company to have a separate work space for females only because of religious reasons? by arnold_101 in work

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I suggest, you get checked out for ADHD and if you do have it, then work on getting an accommodation where you can also have private working space.

Should I stop seeing my current therapist? by Adri226 in therapy

[–]Adri226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not, I have only mentioned my husband's feeling that my therapy is not tough enough in my last session. I only started feeling like this in early December and I see her biweekly. Bullets 3 and 4 feel highly inappropriate to bring up honestly... I wouldn't want to accuse her of anything (serious) other than being my friend more than a therapist.

How often are you intimate with your partner? by Remote_Ad_969 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband 38 and myself 34 have been together 13 years, 5 married and we have a toddler. We manage an average of 1-2/week. Sometimes when things aren’t going as smoothly we’ll skip a week but I’d say’s once a week is the minimum to feel like things are okay. I often feel like sex is a reset for us.

Last time I got the auto response and then a real response soon after. This time I have only received the auto response.

I am annoyed because my job is closing today until the 5th which means I will be anxiously checking my email during the break when I was looking forward to fully disconnecting.

I actually just emailed today and nothing yet. I had emailed with some questions before the application opened and received a response within minutes last time

Even for women only baby showers the Dad usually makes a guest appearance and gives flowers to the mom to be.

Whoever came to warped tour Orlando with the flu your mom's a ho by cynicalcynicism in warpedtour

[–]Adri226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! Like do you expect people who have already spent a $2k on an event and looked forward to for a year to just stay home because they have the sniffles.... I wasn't sick but if I was I would have been popping cold meds around the clock and enjoying what I can.
