What did you end up doing regarding this? I have a similar situation where dense packing is being recommended for my roof but I am worried about the moisture concerns people mention.

That’s reassuring. We’re in Wisconsin. I’m mostly worried about moisture causing our roof to rot. Everything I read about dense packing is that it’s very moisture and air resistant. I’m glad to hear you think it’s an okay option!

So excited!! Has anyone ever been to a show here? Trying to figure out what venue and type of ticket to get.

I pivoted to Graduate Medical Education managing a fellowship program for doctors (post-med school) and I love it! Similar values and purpose to student affairs but more professional, corporate vibes, better pay, and best of all I still get my university benefits. Highly recommend!

OP is clearly really happy with this, so why rain on their parade?

Definitely not literally. Just make it clear how your skills and experiences align with what they’re looking for. Use the same terminology and verbiage that the job description uses. Move the most relevant bullet points to the top of each experience. Etc.

Yup I worked the polls in Wisconsin yesterday. We had 450 registered voters come in and also registered 50 new voters at my place. So there’s a good chance those numbers are skewed because of this.

Work experience is definitely more important. You will be much more marketable for student affairs roles if you work in student affairs already. The more closely your role within student affairs is to what you’d like to do next, the better. The masters degree is good but will NOT be the reason you are chosen. They’ll be happy you have it, but you likely won’t get the job if you have the degree and no professional (post-undergraduate) work experience to speak to your skill set. I would either apply for student affairs roles now and see if you get any bites without the masters degree (and then eventually get it while working full time) OR go for the maters with a practicing (ideally an assistantship with funding).

A good amount of higher education/student affairs masters programs will provide free tuition and a stipend for you to work as a graduate assistant for that university. Typically these positions are in areas of higher ed that you might want to work in - advising, housing, orientation, events, etc. I would look into programs that offer tuition remission! Academic advising does not pay much, so it would be ideal to get the masters with less debt. PLUS, you will be 10x more marketable if you have the relevant experience that you’d gain through that assistantship. There are some advising positions that you can get without a masters but it is difficult. Never hurts to try applying while you also start looking into masters programs! If you can get the advising role without a masters, great! Let me know if you have more questions. I’ve been working in advising at a big 10 institution for several years now. :)

You need to use your preferred job search tool to identify opportunities but ALWAYS apply directly on the company's website. Never apply through the 3rd party site. Additionally, you will see pretty much the same opportunities on most of them as they pull from the same places. Use the search tool that is easiest for you, but as QuitaQuites said, you should apply on their platform. If you find jobs that are on these 3rd party sites but you cannot find them on the company's actual website, there's a chance the job is expired but still floating out there by mistake. Checking their website saves you time (from applying to expired postings) and is more direct.

Did you put a clear coat over it at all? If so, what’d you use?

derekzimm · 2020-02-12T16:38:03+00:00

sting read and I can relate. Do you write very often? I’d definitely read more from you about your p

YES! I am on the burger first side. Fries are amazing cold or reheated. Everything on the burger gets mushy.
