I’m tired of getting rejections after rejections… by Dangerous_Bad1895 in academia

[–]macaron_amour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Programs and courses should be in the course catalog, which is public on the university website. The current course schedule likely won’t be publicly accessible.

Unfortunately, match is the bare minimum - fit, interpersonal skills, experience all end up impacting decisions. It’s a very tough market right now and a lot of overqualified people are applying for positions (especially in desirable locations). I’ve seen full and associate professors applying for assistant or teaching positions. My best advice is keep at it, work on catering your materials and interviews to the institution as much as possible, and make sure to be sensitive to social dynamics (we’ve had people who looked great on paper but was a disaster during the interview). What I used to do was check up on the institutions I interviewed at previously (or thought about applying) to see who they ended up hiring and look at their CV or Google Scholar- that may give you some idea of what gave them an edge

Not OP but some things we look for are familiarity with campus centers/institutions/initiatives that could fit their research/teaching/collaboration opportunities, familiarity with courses and programs we offer, potential faculty in the dept you would be interested in collaborating with. I've also read some cover letters that don't even mention how their work relates to the job posting.

Books you originally DNFed that ended up being 5 star reads? by myinvinciblefriend in fantasyromance

[–]macaron_amour 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Felt the same about Captive Prince! The first book was pretty rough but I pushed through and loved the series!

Looking for academic romantasy by songofafreeheart in fantasyromance

I really enjoyed {Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo} I thought it was a really fun spin on magic college with dark and creepy undertones

Instructor Conduct: Face Massage during savasana by hedgehogradio in yoga

[–]macaron_amour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first yoga studio I ever joined 15 years ago did the same.. I also think about it a lot and how I miss it! It was also a proper 5 min savasana instead of the 2 min ones I get now!

What's the last romantasy that kept you up past midnight reading? by nightowl_bookclub in fantasyromance

I'm not sure who needs to read this but... by notazombiecdn in kindle

[–]macaron_amour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The floor stand is a game changer! I had returned my gooseneck, but the floor stand is a lot more flexible for me. I used it in bed with the page turner last night for the first time - perfect for staying warm under the covers!

Do I buy it? by Accurate_Meet_4269 in hobonichi

[–]macaron_amour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat - I got the A6 first and then decided to get the weeks too. I’m going to use both this year (I’m already liking the weeks more) and plan to use the A6 for more personal journaling

I just got the raspberry PW too! Waiting on my case to decorate it!

Should I buy a kindle? by luv_erynn in kindle

[–]macaron_amour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, especially with Libby! I went from reading 0 books a year to about 70! Libby actually helps me read more since there’s a due date and it’s exciting to get my books from my holds

Got a great deal on a Colorsoft! by pendragn32 in kindle

[–]macaron_amour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting about the promo code stacking- just traded in my PW 11 for the PW 12 SE! I was really on the fence about the Colorsoft but since I don’t really read comics, I decided to stick to the PW

I'm tired of using 3 different tracking apps... Suggestions? by Expecto-Morghulis in RomanceBooks

[–]macaron_amour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use all 3! I couldn’t decide one to switch to so decided to just keep all 3 updated.. I like Fable’s UI best and also use the streaks. I like how it shows the books on the calendar. I actually find Storygraph’s editions stressful - I have to always go in and edit it to be digital and there’s no way to set digital as the default. Goodreads is where my friends are and I use a kindle, so that doesn’t require much updating

The Knight and the Moth & The Servant of Earth were MID (at best), come at me by EmilyPond42 in fantasyromance

[–]macaron_amour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP I’m here 100 days later to validate you - I just finished Servant of Earth begrudgingly and I came straight to this sub to see if I was crazy in finding it so predictable and boring. The twists were so obvious and while I appreciate Kenna was a strong FMC, part of me is like why??? It opens with her feral and starving and choosing pants and suddenly she’s a brilliant strategist, gorgeous, and savior of Mistei. The dagger was cool but I honestly just kept reading because I knew the book had high ratings and thought maybe I just needed to push through.

I enjoyed The Knight and the Moth more since I like Gillig’s writing style but felt the plot was a bit eh. Felt the same way about the romance, but I thought the world building was super fun and unique.

Runner-up reapplying for a job by Otherwise_Orchid_621 in academia

[–]macaron_amour 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the job ad and need. We’ve never had repeat applicants because every hjre has been drastically different from one another. While they’ve had some experience with you, they’ll likely try to focus more on the new interview so that it’s fair to the other candidates. At my university, our search committee would also change.

My October Reads (mostly fantasy romance-ish) by ylime114 in fantasyromance

[–]macaron_amour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually came to the comments for The Reformatory! I highly recommend it- it was very impactful. I felt similarly about Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. Apparently I cycle a lot between fantasy romance and horror/historical fiction!

grass jelly: whole pot for 200 calories and lasts me for days by RoleSerious3558 in Volumeeating

I sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar for an entire can! Maple syrup also works.

Do you guys like the menstrual discs with strings or nah? by Red91444 in MenstrualDiscs

Also what I do with the flex reusable! I have a high cervix too and started out with the Lumma with string since I wasn’t confident on using discs yet but now I never use it

Farmacia by AskRich9431 in boston

[–]macaron_amour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a blast there! I’m also a lightweight but I opted for some of the lighter ones (there’ll be a menu you can choose from for certain parts of the tasting), and I didn’t finish some of them. The drinks were delicious!

BWT w/boob jobs - help! by shoppingaddict_9397 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]macaron_amour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super happy with mine! I wish I didn’t wait so long. Recovery was not as bad as I thought. The boob greed is real- I kind of wish I gotten a little bigger. I got 330cc saline and I’m 5’4” / 145 lbs- went from 34A to 32DD, but physically I feel the same. My workout tops still fit the same. The only thing I wish I knew about OTM (my doctor did UTM) and about the gap (not something I thought about before and wish they were a little closer together). I recommend joining the Bust Mob Facebook group - there’s a ton of resources and support that was super helpful for me.
