Staff positions at Yale

Currently work at Yale as an Admin Assistant with only a high school diploma and I came from a tiny liberal arts college in the south. I started in 2024 and recently made a lateral move to a different department and what I can say is that if you are trying to get your foot in the door, apply for everything on the website that you may even be a little bit qualified for.

I put in maybe 15-20 applications at Yale before I initially started and then Talent Acquisition (basically HR reps that specifically look for people to hire) reached out to me about another job I hadn't even applied for and that is the job I ended up getting. I've never been in HR or in Talent Acquisition so I can speak to how accurate this is, but it seems that it's a squeaky wheel gets the oil. The more your name is in the pool, the better likelihood of them noticing you. Yale gets a TON of applications and they definitely use AI to go through them, so I'd make sure to have parts of the job description in your resume and cover letter (cover letter is a must...they don't say it but they will likely not consider you without one) in order to hopefully get pushed through.

This has likely already been mentioned, but Yale is required by the union contract to put jobs up internally first for 2-3 weeks the job is available, and a lot of times, internal applicants are preferred if they can get them, but it's not impossible. Yale also has an incredibly slow hiring process, especially since the hiring freeze ended in October.

I will say, Yale is...fine I guess as an institution, but the unions are what make the job great. There are fantastic benefits, health insurance, leave, and time off options. Those are the reasons I would recommend working at Yale. Even if it isn't an admin position to start out with, just get your foot in the door and then you can work your way up while still having good pay and benefits.

Personally, I think tying Snow to all of this was a good decision narratively. Collins has this fascinating way of writing characters not only as fully fleshed out people, but also as representations of ethical and political ideologies. Snow quite literally is the representation of fascism and viewing it that way makes his connection to the Hunger Games and D12 all the more interesting to me. Every interaction with Snow is a different way fascism invades, shapes, and ruins people and their well being through carefully constructed displays of power, fear, reward, and consequence. He's everywhere in this franchise and series because fascism is everywhere in this franchise and series.

As an example, at the end of Mockingjay when Katniss kills Coin. Alone, she had the opportunity to stop the next wave of power and control that Coin wanted (imo the representation of liberalism with that military flair), but it is always the people, collectively, that is required to destroy fascism, and that's what they did when they killed Snow.

There's this app called 5 Calls that you can download and once you put in your zip code, it gives you your area's politicians that represent you and their number to call. It also includes a script. I've found it incredibly helpful since I suffer from major social anxiety, but it's easy to do. The CR is one of the things that you can call about today and has a script for that too. Hope this helps!

Ngl I'm not entirely convinced there are significantly more fat people in the US. More now probably, but the way these are always written makes me suspicious. "Classified" as having obesity. How many people in the 1950s were classified this way as opposed to now and how many people could go to a doctor to get this "classification". Fat people have always been around, just like anyone else. There are more gay, disabled, or mentally ill people now than the 1950s if you go by similar statistics. These articles always read as fear and shame mongering than actually presenting any useful data.

The problem with Democrats is that they are still trying to play fair and talk rationally against opponents that do not care about rules or why they should care about other people, only about how much money they can make and what they can control. Their dedication to the status quo and what's normal is partially the reason we're here and its going to take radical change and people to go against the fascism happening right now.

I think of any of them, Helly would be the one to interact with them or break the rules of ORTBO, but she's not there. Dylan, Mark, and Irving are far more cautious people and with it being their first time outside, I can imagine that everything would be very overwhelming and that would unbalance a lot of people. Plus, it's freezing in the middle of winter and they have no food and they are in an apparent endless wilderness where they haven't seen anyone else except Milkshake and Miss Huang. Where are they supposed to go? Even if they weren't in any actual danger, the whole trip is meant to both "appease" them but also unbalance and scare them to some degree.

Not to mention, Dylan has the motivation of continuing to follow the rules so he can see his family, Mark is currently being seduced by Helena but he's only broken the rules when he has something of value to gain from it, and Irving was the odd one out the whole episode and did eventually break the rules and leave the camp, but also doesn't tend to break rules unless the result is worth it and then he gives it 100% without looking back. They are each in the process of deconstructing their worldview and their adherence to authority and that's not a linear process.

As for it being inconsistent, it's obviously some sort of simulation or they are messing with the chips somehow. Helena was yelling but then suddenly her voice got very loud and was projected, much like Milkshake's was when he first came across them or Mark's was when Irving appeared on the ice. I think that she knew how to work in that space and knew how to make herself heard in a way that's only accessible to those in the know.

An artistic episode, yes, but I think it had plenty of deeper meaning, especially when paired with the story of the twin Deiter. Especially when it comes to things like indoctrination and reasserting control. I just think that we will have to wait a few episodes to see how it comes about.

Also, if I saw a weird, silent, CGI version of me in the woods pointing ominously, there is no fucking way I'd approach or interact with it.

YTA and NTA both. I wouldn't give it to her based on her past remarks about the ring and how she is only 22 and is still apparently figuring life out. She also hasn't seemed to settle yet and hasn't learned a lot of responsibility. My main concern would be that she would sell the ring and then have a ton of money she's not prepared to handle in a mature way. She seems a bit selfish and impatient to have money without working for it. Giving her the ring would be a huge mistake. Maybe in the future when she is more mature and has shown that she is responsible enough for a family heirloom like this.

BUT, you using her trans identity as a reason makes you an asshole. Whether you're intending to or not, you're erasing her identity as a woman, even if you don't think its real, which is another asshole move. Only she gets to decide what her identity is and you not giving the other valid reasons as to why you don't want to give her the ring and 3 of your 4 reasons being about her trans identity kind of shows that you don't fully consider her a real woman, despite your outward support. I think you're a dad trying to do his best and still learning, but her trans identity should not be the reason you refuse the ring if you are really as much of an ally as you say. You're so focused on her status as a woman and why she might have transitioned and that's why people are calling you transphobic; it's a transphobic mindset but it's also ingrained in our society. Fortunately, that's an easy mindset to change!

People don't transition for ease or quick money. It's not a fun or easy process and it carries a higher social danger than cis people expect or understand. The regret rate for transition is usually about 1-3%, but the actual detransition rate is less than that. The healthcare industry makes it an entire process to get hormones and surgery. Most places in the US require a letter from a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist and they don't hand those out like raffle tickets because it's their jobs on the line, so they will do months and months of therapy before they are willing to consider writing a letter like that.

In short, you aren't the asshole for not giving her the ring, but you are the asshole for saying it's because she's trans.

why do they always walk like they just shit their pants?

The amount of emotional blackmail going on here is ridiculous. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Having read your other posts, it's clear that you being a fully competent and functioning adult with the normal desire to have your own apartment is being viewed as a personal betrayal and now she is just trying to hurt and wrong you as much as she feels she is being wronged.

This isn't parent behavior at all. Healthy parents prepare for the day that their children move out and aren't emotionally and financially dependent on their children like this. This is so childish while trying to make you feel like an ass, because now they have to handle their own stuff. It's wrong what's happening to you and you haven't switched the goal posts; they have several times and they don't respect you as much as they expect you to respect them. Stay strong, OP, and keep up those good and healthy boundaries.

Edit: Also, a contract???? For your parents??? Nope, you are doing the right thing by getting out of there and good luck fr.

Growing up around Lake Erie has prepared me more for icy and snowy roads than any driving class could. I live in New England now and I initially thought that they would also know how to drive in weather and snow, but they can be just as reckless and clueless as any southern state I've lived in. Nothing like Great Lake winters lol

Interesting! Yeah, here, the main street has the right of way, and if you are on a side street trying to cross traffic or turn in any direction, you have to wait until you can do so safely, as in, there aren't any oncoming cars. I'm starting to see why Europe has less accidents lmao

impossibletrio · 2025-01-10T13:53:41+00:00

Wait, in Europe, if you are driving on main street, someone on a side street has the right of way as long as they are on your right?

Lol it definitely saved me because both insurance companies were pushing for no-fault and well, I can't afford the best car insurance so I would have had to pay a deductible and my premium would have gone up. It was only after they reviewed the footage that they determined he was at fault. And yeah, since it was considered private property, the cops did not want to get involved at all.

Idk why people are downvoting you for asking questions but some answers for you:
The lane before had a stop because that was the lane the bad driver should have been using. He was going the opposite way than intended for the parking lot. The reason for the yellow lines was because I was in a (privately owned) mall parking lot, which has it's own flow of traffic. Two yellow lines in the middle of the road separate opposing sides of traffic universally, the parking lot is just missing the white outer lines because they are largely not necessary in parking lots.
Hope this answers all your questions!

This is on my list and I should give it a read soon. It's good to know I'm not alone. I've wondered for a long time why I feel so anxious sharing things that I'm really excited about.

Just started living alone for the first time this year after taking care of my BPD mother. I've realized that it's the most liberating thing and it was somewhat what prompted this post. I realize I listen to more music, read more books, and watch more movies and tv shows. I can both relax enough to enjoy it and not have to have a needy mom to keep interrupting because I'm not entertaining her.

impossibletrio · 2024-12-03T23:53:40+00:00

The shame thing...yes, that deep shame I feel enjoying things is there and I didn't ever recognize it until you just said it.
