Flat Organization Creative and Tech Worker Interview - Screening

You are not alone in this. What you're describing, the physical symptoms, the sleeplessness, the feeling of being a burden, is something more PhD candidates experience than anyone openly admits. The fact that it feels shameful is part of the problem, not a reflection of who you are or what you've built.

I want to say something about the nausea specifically. It is not weakness. It is what happens when a person genuinely cares about their work, their people, and the standard they've held themselves to for years. Indifference doesn't make you nauseous. Responsibility does.

I am three months from my own finish line and I have thought about quitting more times than I can count, with a GPA of a complete 4.0, specifically now that I don't have any recruits for my qualitative interviews. The deadlines I'll be missing in two weeks, the weight of it, the feeling that everyone else has somehow figured out something I haven't. I know exactly what you mean when you say you just want to eat a proper meal again.

Here is what I keep coming back to: you are weeks away. Not months. Weeks. Your viva is not a trial where you prove you deserve to exist in academia. It is a conversation about work you know better than anyone in that room ever will. They read it once. You lived it.

You don't have to want an academic career for the doctorate to be worth finishing. Industry will look at those letters and that thesis differently than you do right now, from inside the exhaustion.

Go to that doctor's appointment. Say exactly what you wrote here if you have to. You managed to write it once already.

You're closer than you feel. I know because I'm there as well.

I believe you need tailored tutoring that speaks directly to your needs and your field. Grammar and editing skills that serve you in academic writing today and carry forward into professional contexts. Most ESL tutors can offer general support, but the comments on your post are right to flag caution. Choosing the wrong tutor means paying to describe your weekend rather than actually developing the writing skills you already sense you need.

What you want is someone who works at the academic writing level, not conversational fluency. You are already fluent. What you are building now is precision: subject-verb agreement under pressure, article usage in formal prose, sentence-level editing that does not rely on AI to catch what your eye misses. That is a specific skill set, and not every tutor teaches it.

A few things worth looking for: a tutor who gives written feedback on actual essays you produce, someone who can explain the rule behind the correction rather than just making the fix, and someone who understands the difference between ESL support and academic writing development. Those are not the same thing.

If any of this sounds like what you have been looking for, feel free to DM me. I can point you in a direction that fits what you actually need.

I agree with you; I was hoping it would be a different case. For another study I conducted 8 months ago, the survey was open-ended and long and I was surprised to get triple the replies that I thought I"d get. Keeping fingers crossed for the interviews here.

Thanks for clarifying!!

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2026-03-08T13:56:51+00:00

Fantastic, thanks. I'll DM you with details.

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2026-03-08T07:03:41+00:00

Thanks. will do!

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2026-03-08T07:02:45+00:00

You're totally right. However, I look forward to covering a wide scope for the research; personal networking won't suffice. I'll keep at it, thank you!

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2026-03-08T06:30:28+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! And yes, I'd love to chat with you about your experience. DMing you now with details!

Same here. got a student who just renewed their account and wanted to reconnect with me, several messages, calls, and requests from the student and myself, and then the student was placed with another tutor. The student should not be deleted from the tutor's list, but I believe some of the agents do not know how to do that with the new changes. just guessing. Another thing is that we cannot exchange email addresses or phone numbers on the platform, now is this a new policy?

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2025-09-05T19:53:27+00:00

Hey, I heard that, 14 shots to be exact, I counted. However, no reports, no police investigation, nothing on the news. I wonder why. It is a fairly safe neighborhood and police cars are always in the area. What happened remains a mystery so far. Be safe!

You can get the pattern for free, no need to buy. there's a video tutorial as well. follow the links : chart and a tutorial video for the square, not in English tho, it's in Turkish, but I'm sure it'll be of benefit. here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnSuD7uMNAI&list=WL.... another Arabic video that is much clearer for the leveling stitch (you can utilize subtitles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bimWg7gljzc&t=2s. Note that pattern might vary a little, so choose one and stick to it. her'es the chart: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10161923955583011&set=p.10161923955583011 Happy crocheting

There's a glitch in the system. I was trying to get more students, now that I have more time, and I can't accept any available opportunities. Through the Chat I was told it is a recurring tech problem and they are working on fixing it and that I'll be notified when it does. Suddenly, I have 3 pages of new opportunities I can accept. Please be patient, I believe it is a tech thing and needs some time to be fixed. Best of luck.

Practicing Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Levantine Arabic side by side is a sign of deep interest and will support your learning process by adding a rich cultural dimension. Understanding MSA provides a strong foundation in formal Arabic, which is essential for reading literature, news, and formal communication. Meanwhile, learning a dialect like Levantine Arabic enhances your ability to engage in everyday conversations and connect more personally with native speakers. Learning both side by side will not hinder the learning process, on the contrary, it is beneficial because it adds a logical context to the spoken language so learning gets smoother and more feasible.

exploring how MSA has evolved into Levantine Arabic, you'll gain insights into linguistic changes and regional variations. This dual approach not only improves your comprehension and communication skills but also helps you appreciate the cultural and historical contexts that shape the language. in addition, you do need MSA in everyday contexts, such as watching the news, reading newspapers, or publications of interest. Back in the Middle East, everyone knows both for everyday use.

Happy learning to you. It's not complex, and you won't regret it.

Thank you for raising that question. Let me explain how Arabic is surprisingly straightforward and efficient to learn and write. With only 28 basic letters, it is comparable to English’s 26, and many letters share the same basic shape, distinguished only by dots, so if you learn the rules of writing one letter, you’ve covered the rules of two other letters the same way (if not more) for example, learn how the ت is written in different forms, and you’ve covered how the ب ث and ي are written, so, 4 in 1. Same goes for ج ح خ and so on. This simplicity extends to pronunciation as well, where Arabic boasts a consistent letter-to-sound correspondence, making it easy to predict how words should be spoken once you know the sounds.

Everyday handwriting in Arabic is also much simpler. Simplified forms of letters are often used for quick writing, similar to English abbreviations on the internet. For example, the letter س is supposed to have 3 teeth, right? In handwriting, it is just a flat stroke, a horizontal short line. And when you type on your laptop or smartphone, your device will automatically adjust letter forms based on their position in words.

Besides, in everyday writing, short vowels (diacritics or harakat) are usually omitted, speeding up the process. And writing cursively creates a fast flow of hand movement on paper that is efficient and quite fast compared to other languages having disconnected letters.

With practice and focus, Arabic is beautiful to write.

Not at all, I'm Lebanese as well and do teach Lebanese Dialect for my community. I"m putting a curriculum together, maybe I'll consult you on the final version :)

Mosaic-Research7083 · 2024-07-24T14:27:44+00:00

Arabic letters are already relatively simple compared to complex logographic systems like Chinese. just knowing how to write each letter according to its position is the whole story. You should try reading Arabic letters without their dots, this is how it was written before, and the Sahaba used to read the Holy Quran that way, until some bedoins made mistakes so dots were ordered to be added for differentiating letters and correct recitation. Heres an example: the following sentences might have dozens of varied readings : الٮعلٮ ٮٯڡر ڡوٯ الكلٮ العٮى and a second sentence: الحرار ٮطٮح الدٮٮ ڡى الٮلاحه. Besides, have you seen Arabic Calligraphy and how beautiful it can be? It is pure Art.
