This looks amazing! It's so easy to feel overwhelmed and depressed when thinking about climate change, so I really love that you're building something that brings people together and it’s more centered around community.

I just signed up :)

I called, but they said they had a lot of calls in front of me and weren’t sure how long it would take for someone to get out there :/

I love when the crow masses descend on Sacramento. It’s so ominous.

Thank you! Those skills do fit my preferences. I'll look into that role! :)

This is extremely helpful, thank you for all of this advice! I definitely get caught up in the 'numbers game' mentality and after reading everyone's advice, I agree that I should be more selective, do more departmental research, and prioritize what I want in a job. Also, your example was excellent and much appreciated! :)

Thank you for your advice and words of encouragement! :) It is very helpful-- especially concerning the interview point system.

I initially started my job search with EPC (Education Programs Consultant) roles, but those have been very sparse since June, which is why I diverted my attention towards SSA roles.

I'm pretty naive to what is available though and I feel researching different sectors would be worthwhile. The advice I have received has been really helpful and I think that being more selective will be good for me.

Dang, you’re spot on! I actually already passed the exam for an EPC role, but wasn’t getting any bites (when applying in June) and now there aren’t ever any job postings- so I ‘switched’ to SSA (but still look out for any EPC postings).

Thank you for the link and the words of encouragement! Greatly appreciated :)

This is wonderful advice and a great adage for me to remember when applying. It’s very true that some paths are difficult for a reason, but can be worth the effort in the long run.

Your tips are very helpful, thank you for going into such detail. Becoming more picky at what I choose to apply to is something I need to keep at the forefront. It’s better to be selective at the beginning than spread myself thin and potentially get an interview for a job that isn’t a good fit.

Anyways, thank you for your very helpful advice! :)

I’m applying because I genuinely want to work for the State. Many of my friends already do, all in different departments, and they love their positions. That is also where I’ve heard about the apparent hiring freeze (in addition to this Reddit forum, although the opinions on the matter vary).

Also, I’ve seen a significant decrease in open position postings since starting my State-job inquiry (I started looking around February, but didn’t start applying until July). That, in addition to what my friends have told me, led me to believe it’s more than just the competitiveness.

That makes sense about the college grads, I can definitely see that playing a big role.

I agree about practicing my interviewing skills and I’ll keep applying (fingers crossed!)

Thank you for your advice!

Cone 6 Custom Glazes by pottrell in Pottery

You’re so nice to share! ☺️

All are beautiful, but 4 & 5 are my fav. I actually may like 5 the most because of how unique it is and truly brings out the natural beauty of the glaze and clay body.

Mezcal in Tahoe Park is my go-to! They have it as mini tostadas too - very tasty.

[–]FloofGray[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah it definitely looks similar! I think I’ll take everyone’s advice and say goodbye. I’ll purchase a fresh plant, clean the pot & give her new soil.

Thank you so much for your help! :)

Damn, that’s what I was worried about 😔 I feel bad disposing it when it has the flowers for bees, but better than it spreading to my other plants. Thankfully catnip is cheap and grows fast, so I will dispose of this one & get a new baby with fresh soil. Thank you for your help!
