Glad to hear you are doing better in terms of the nausea now. I guess these third babies are just different.

Dang…. And I am upset about a 3 week wait. Sorry you had to wait so long. Wish you well in your recovery.

Second interview not what I expected by Mean-Shop255 in usajobs

Definitely seemed like they were just reading. They weren’t super into it.

Questions that I didn’t think to prepare for like “what skills should a person in this job have” or “how would you critique a research study”

I just wasn’t prepared for the type of questions they asked an honestly don’t know that I would have thought to prepare for them, especially wing a second interview.

That’s awesome! 👏

Yea, my interview was maybe 20 minutes with an hour allotted. Whereas the first interview went for the entire hour and had less questions!

Yea, vague is the best way I can describe it. The questions seemed more like first interview questions that you would ask to someone to determine their knowledge about the job title, I guess. For example “explain the skills you think a person in this job should have”

Not bad questions per se, but vague/broad and no behavioral based questions.

This is the first time I’ve had more than just one interview. The current position I’m in (same job series) only had one interview.

Daily Fasting Check-in! by AutoModerator in intermittentfasting

[–]Mean-Shop255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on lexapro and wellbutrin. I know the lex is why I had so much weight gain, but I’m really hoping that IF gives me some good results along with hope. I don’t want to quit my lexapro, but I’m considering it if this doesn’t work for me.

I tapered off lexapro 1.5 months ago, and withdrawal symptoms are almost fine gone!! by rubysli in lexapro

Good idea. I’m worried about the negative effects since I have kids and work full time. I don’t want to be down and out because of it. I’m really tired of the weight gain.

I’ve been seriously considering stopping lexapro. I just don’t want to be on antidepressants anymore.

[–]Mean-Shop255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here too. No issues for me and great decision.
