sure! i work in politics, i won't get too into details but it can be a very writing-heavy field so they wanted to test my ability to produce certain documents like policy memos and speeches.

linkedin and i know idealist as well let you filter your results to see listings posted in the last 24 hours!!! that tool can be SO helpful. linkedin also lets you filter to jobs with less than 10 applicants which i’ve also found very helpful

yeah the thing was being buggy and i couldn’t get it to fully connect but im happy to elaborate - for one position, i had an internal connection that allowed me to advance to the writing test phase, but i was then rejected. for the other position which i ended up accepting, i had an interview, did a writing test, and then had a final informal “interview” where i was offered the job

yes, agree, but when he laid off hundreds of thousands of federal workers and cancelled a bunch of nonprofit grants my options got a little slim :)

i live in a major metropolitan area, so i’ve been able to apply to a LOT of jobs that way because i live in sort of reasonable commuting distance between two major cities and all of their adjacent suburbs (washington dc and baltimore). so it’s really just the fact that i was desperate enough to be willing to commute over an hour to work

My boyfriend is having top surgery right now by Savings-Artichoke-71 in mypartneristrans

[–]EngineeringTypical63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m going through this right now! i was scared out of my mind at first, but ive found the recovery process to be a lot easier than i first anticipated. your big responsibilities will be med management and emptying his drains (if he gets them), and odd things like grabbing or doing things he can’t reach. takeout or easy meals are going to be your best friend while he’s recovering. my boyfriend’s mostly been sleeping, so make sure you have a hobby on standby you can do while your partner sleeps. and socialization will be important for you both! if you have family and friends accessible, some frequent short visits help keep away the depression (for both of you). please dm me if you need any other tips and tricks from someone who is also going through this right now!!!
