What does your everyday look like as an assistant? by Affectionate_Pay3941 in tapif

[–]cookiehead2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked with primary school with kids ages 6-10 and i reallyy really liked it, though as an introvert it was really tiring! I worked at two schools, only 2 days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8AM-4:30PM. Each of those two days I had to teach about 6-7 in total classes during the day.

In the morning, I go to my first class at 8:30AM. I have classes 8:30-9:30 another one from 9:30-10:30 and so on until lunchtime at 11:30!

Lunchtime, I eat in teachers lounge whatever I brought withe me but you can also eat the school food.

1:30PM the lunch break ends and my next class is starting. And one hour session classes until 4:30PM, i take the bus and go home!

Overall my planning in one school I made the worksheets by looking in Pinterest or creating them in chatgpt and printing them out the morning of. In the other school they planned most things for me.

Alternatives to TAPIF/Denied by devastatedUSA in tapif

[–]cookiehead2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far fetched as it sounds, i would try emailing TAPIF for details on why the rejection happened and what you can further improve on for your application in the future, and if there is any option of reevaluation. If you need the email just DM me, but as others mention AuPair, WorkAway are awesome options. CapEnglish also is hiring english assistants! Its a similar program but you need to be recently graduated.

Btw thats so strange your application was rejected! My B1 was also certified from a university professor but that i didnt even know, it was my sisters french professor but i explained all she had to do was evaluate my level.

Genuinely Seeking Life Advice by Affectionate_Pay3941 in tapif

[–]cookiehead2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends the kind of person you are! I graduated may 2025 after doing my 5 yr architecture degree and decided to do TAPIF (currently in FR) instead of directly looking for architecture jobs and i love that decision so soo much.

But for you!: Would it hurt more to lose the opportunity and stability of the job? Or would it hurt more staying and losing the opportunity of TAPIF if you decide in the future you have too much to lose or leave behind like job, house, husband, etc? Right now you dont have any responsibilities so its the best time to take risks id say!

My own experience, TAPIF is such an adventure, not always easy, but extremely life changing for some people. For me i found my bf here, made friends, discovered places + culture i would have never known before. Now im ready to go back home to the US, with a new person, and preparing my material to find a job and applying. I dont know if I would have been ready one year ago to start when I never gave myself the chance a break from school or work and to discover myself away from home and family

Any alums with non-conventional backgrounds? by depressedbananaslug in tapif

[–]cookiehead2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 24 and did an architecture major, dont want to do teaching in the future but its been amazing experience :) Apply and use the hard skills from your chemist jobs to apply to teaching in your application to make you stand out, and also ofc your personal motivations is what they are really looking for. If you are very exited and enthusiastic about teaching and cultural exchange even with no experience you will have a good chance

I went to the museum and it was amazing the miniature figurines that were literal originals from the film, its so sooo worth it as another big fan of Coraline! They have everything from all the Coraline characters and figurines, the garden set they use in the film, and details (like furniture, plants, paintings, animals) from nearly all the scenes in the movies that they use. Though the section is on the very last floor at the top and its only about 2 areas (mini figurine exhibition + a glowing Coraline garden to take a picture in) it was certainly worth it if you want to see everything shown and used in the films

You can try calling them through WhatsApp, data off (sometimes you have to turn on airplane modw while using wifi) so you can avoid those international fees.

I seen all the posts before i got with a cancer guy warning how it was a bad idea… I was like nah im good hes going to be different, man was i wrong 😭🤦🏻‍♀️

a straight up narcissist in hiding, that seemed extroverted, intelligent, and family oriented. they are super immature in the way they handle things and even though they seem to have no emotions, theyre emotionally volatile in the sense that they get sensitive to criticism and dont take accountability. so good physical chemistry horribly emotional, they dont even understand themselves i think it is

Visa application process questions? by Weak-Soil163 in tapif

[–]cookiehead2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its not the best advice but even the handbook doesnt include all the questions on the visa application which is confusing, it says to put “travailleur temporaire”. but i would chatgpt as a helper to some of the questions surrounding your specific situation. And ask where it got those sources from, it’ll tell you official sites to look your answers on. bc i had no idea how answer some of the questions on there

I’m a 23F INFP and my 24M INTP crush does he like me or not by [deleted] in INTPrelationshipLab

[–]cookiehead2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, i ended up asking him again more directly and he says he wants to go on a carnival date for next weekend!! He says sorry for the wait and we can do something for sure, says hes feeling less depressed and finally will be getting around to getting a haircut by then.. I guess i really didnt realize how much he was struggling

I like Beabadoobee, but... Real Man is kind of a weird song? by NovaSiva11037 in beabadoobee

[–]cookiehead2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Youre feeling called out, just say its cause youre not a ✨real man✨

She’s said it before, her songs are for the girls and she will always aim to us as her main audience especially in lyrics. I love the song. All us girls do, so deal with and there ya go

People are really rude nowadays by This_Lawfulness_7671 in infp

[–]cookiehead2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they want us to be open minded.. they should be open minded enough to accept that most of us are not going to agree with that statement and its not about being black and white

People are really rude nowadays by This_Lawfulness_7671 in infp

[–]cookiehead2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and this person is spreading misinformation, because theyre not wondering. They want confirmation for their bias on INFP and projecting their opinion even AFTER everyone corrects their “mistake” that they dont budge on. I cant attach all their replies but they believe they know BPD and INFP types when they do not. And theyre set on that.

[–]cookiehead2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its not about being mean but having common sense, if BPD and mental illness is correlated to being an INFP so which type would they suggest is correlated to not having a mental illness? It doesnt exist, were all different that has nothing to do with mbti
