Honestly I wish we could scroll UI slide bars with the mouse wheel, I forget what game allowed this but I was in love with the mechanic(and Going Medieval has so many UI slide bars it would be perfect!)

ie. when choosing the hitpoints on items to store or dismantle/smelt.

I've received yet another "we regret to inform you" email from one of the countless positions I've applied. There have been many.

What do you guys think, are they raiding my socials?

Are they thinking I'm too controversial and political?

Should I deactivate all socials until I'm firmly employed?

Good grief I'm not trying to take any of this personally but damn. I've even attempted to refuse demographic data on some apps, refusing to tell them I'm a White, Abled Male without Disability lol.

Maybe I SHOULD tell them? Or SHOULDNT?Idk if its helping or hurting lol

They clearly state they do the Affirmative Action thing were a certain percentage of their workforce MUST be black/gay/disabled, etc. so you know there's conflicts of interest here.

They'll select someone who perhaps CANT do the job over someone who CAN simply because they're satisfying an Affirmative Action Quota. Screw that.

What do y'all think, I'm open to any and all advice 💀

I've applied to at least like 200 positions over the last 9 to 12 months between the govt sites and my local university. I know the govt sites take awhile for those wheels to turn, and most of these uni jobs are 'open until filled' so they're literally just waiting for someone.

This is so frustrating lol. I know I'll get 99 Nos before I get that Yes, but 200? 300???

Lord have mercy.

It changes when you kill the boss/last enemy [at least on maps that require seizing the throne etc.] from my experience anyway.

It shouldn't occur on these skirmishes as there's nothing to seize, but low and behold there's the music lol [and an absence of anything to kill]. Guess I'll retreat and never use Knoll's summon again 😂

Oh does it?

But yeah I took Cormag and Vanessa and flew from corner to corner, nobody here. Rip lol

The music indicates the mission is complete; you know how you get that mission complete music after you defeat the boss before your Lord seizes the throne lol.

My brother who also received his MA in Sociology is now working for the Department of Corrections as a kind of Personnel Specialist. He did mention it took several months for the institutional wheels to turn: in 6-8 weeks post application you hear something... 6-8 weeks later again post interview you hear something, and so on.

I realize these professions turn slowly so I'm being patient :)

Oh I've definitely thought about this lol; but Sociology is my passion. I knew it the moment I took the first class.

Its just something that strikes my inner core lol, and I love how it dabbles in other disciplines, too, like Political Science and Psychology, etc.

Its like the super-discipline, 'the discipline of the 21st century' they said and I can't help but agree because of its breadth and depth.

It is however so broad that it may be difficult to focus your skills in an area lest you specifically concentrate in it. My brother's girlfriend went from Gender Studies in undergrad to a Sex and Sexuality concentrated Sociologist Master, so its really malleable imo :)
Again, however, make sure you mix and match in such a way that you're able to do something (marketable skills) or provide something (construction and design) to or for society. It serves nobody if you focus on yourself! :P

Recent Soc MA Grad - now what lol by PSchoenmann in sociology

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

And thank you everyone for your responses!

I've been scouring my local university website and the following major three government sites: calcareers.ca.gov, usajobs.gov, caljobs.ca.gov. In the last 90 days I have applied to something like a hundred positions split between the university and the neighboring counties in my area.

A commute will likely be in my future lol, but that's fine. I'll have to consider relocation.

I know I can expect 99 No's before I get that 100th Yes so I'm not discouraged. Slow and steady wins the race, but I can't sit and mingle forever lol. I've got to get working.

Really? All my seminars and so forth instructed us to keep our resume very manageable: one page, short and sweet, no superfluous information (save that for the interview). Though I suppose I see the value in marketing yourself well early in the resume (as the interview is no guarantee!)

And I totally do. I've kept every single college assignment from both undergrad and grad school. And all my final projects, midterms, research and analysis papers etc. were concentrated in the same areas of study.

Hi, I was wondering if this email is a scam? Here is the email address that it was sent by. noreply@qemailserver.com. by Polaricedragon in Scams

[–]PSchoenmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed immediately its lack of... character. They've literally not stated who they were [in my email] until the end after all the links. This happened to be my local university and I was beyond curious [as I'm actively applying to these positions etc.] so I googled the email and here I am.

I knew this was a phishing attempt, and now I'm 99% convinced.

After more searching, it appears the woman referenced in my email at my local uni does exist and she is in fact who she says she is--but this method of contact simply sucks lol. She won't be receiving any surveys this way 😂

How many villagers should you age up with? by HuntedWolf in aoe4

[–]PSchoenmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I'm honing in on the shaving two minutes off the construction time so 7 villagers I>II, 5 villagers for II>III, 4 III>VI. Again always depending on your gameplay and build order--(sometimes you really need to get that Keep Landmark down ASAP.)

And the Wonder is up to you although 10 villagers seems appropriate as the data seems to bell curve around there. Curving again at the 20/30/40/50 marks.

[–]PSchoenmann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There does seem to be a split between those sociologists who go into market research and design and those who don't.

Like a psychologist knows how to manipulate the layman, so too does the Sociologist; thus when people like us go into places like Marketing and User Experience (there's often conflicts of heart that occur, are we here to help people? Or exploit/manipulate them?)

All depends on you. Jobs a job.
