Jada Monroe has some wise words to share... she's absolutely amazing and this is my go-to song after a long day of feeling like I'm never going to get a job.
keep copies of all your documentation!
I mean hours logs, evaluations any state documentation required for your practicum, internship, contracts and any hour breakdowns that you have...
Keep it all!
Keep a record of everything that is signed including your time to track logs.
I just went through this whole nightmare process trying to get my pre-doctoral internship (which was APA accredited) to sign off an attestation for ASPPB credentials bank.
It took nearly a month of daily contact going back and forth because it had been 12 years and my old supervisor passed away. The program was absorbed into another and documents were destroyed without notice 😳.
Luckily I had copies of the documents and was able to send them to the internship but even in that it sstill was incredibly stressful. My school also apparently purged the documents after 10 years. We were always told that we would be able to get verification.
My school flat out refused to provide verification despite the fact of acknowledging that I had the documentation to provide to them and that I wouldn't have graduated had I not finished my pre-doctoral internship successfully.
I also had a APA accredited postdoctoral Fellowship and it was a lot easier to get that document signed because the supervisor was still there but not simple... took alot I'll follow through. If you get them to sign off when you graduate you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
I tell you guys this now because when you're in that final internship you're focusing on defending your dissertation and applying/possibly relocation for a postdoc. The very last thing you're thinking about is documentation that you may need 10 years down the road.
My school did a shit job of informing us of what we would need. The problem is you can't count on them so you have to do it for yourself I would highly suggest credential banking with ASPPB/National Register (or better do because neither of them are accepted in all states). You can add your credentials at any time, once they're in and verified you can use that towards licensing in any state.
So basically when you do go to apply for your license you can just send them the documents from the credential bank and you don't have to contact every site for verification each time.
I hope this helps at least one of y'all. I wish I had been more aware of this when I was graduating.
I have been on Facebook for 20 years, I have never seen accounts with less than 100 people let alone some that are a dozen or so.
I can't tell are these all bots because it always seems to be the people that are making the most controversial statements (which is why I usually look to see how many friends they have) I've concluded that they're either a bot or nobody likes them for the stupid shit they say. Are y'all noticing this?
Update: so I had the interview today I immediately apologized acknowledged that it impacted her time and moved on, she was understanding and said these things happen.
The interview went okay, she did bring up some legitimate concerns about my readiness for the role. I hope I overcame them but who knows. I did send a follow-up email I'll update you guys when I know more!
Original Post: Well, I really screwed up today. I had a big interview that I was really excited about I spent hours preparing for made it. made sure I had the right background and lighting, got dressed, did hair and makeup the whole works.... Then I showed up a half an hour late 🤦
I totally owned it, it was totally my fault I was reading the zoom link in the subject line that said 3 to 3:30 and for some reason the 3:30 is what stood out to me and I put it in my calendar wrong. 🤷
This is an Ivy League job at a teaching hospital and while the woman was gracious and we did reschedule for tomorrow I can't help but feel I blew it and it's going to be difficult to feel confident tomorrow. 😭
Ie. how many hours supervision, direct svcs, ect. it's a 1500 internship and i can't find specifics anywhere. TIA
Things to know,
So I have these two backgrounds, one is in my living room, shows the fireplace with some photos (also the couch and possibly a dog (or cat), it's not something I can do anything about, if I lock them in a room they'll just yell and scratch the door which would be worse).
The second one is in my dining room, shows my bookshelf with all my professional books (but also a weird unused door behind the (not so pretty shelves).
What one would be best? Thanks in advance, and wish me luck (please)
Last summer my 6yo westie was diagnosed with lyme disease anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis all at the same time.
Apparently the Lyme titer was bright red while the other two were pink, he was put on a full round of antibiotics and he was given them as prescribed.
His vet hasn't followed up or given any follow-up instructions. I've noticed recently that he seems to be a little "off ", just looking occasionally uncomfortable especially when walking longer distances and seems to be a little bit lower in energy than I'd expect from him.
We've since changed veterinarians and the new one hasn't seen him yet so I can't really ask him to advise if I should bring the dog in for a new titer without him having seen him first.
Is it possible that lyme can reoccur or not be cured? Are there possible long-term consequences that even if treated could still be a problem?
Should I take him in to get tested again to make sure it's fully resolved?

I'm interested in know how y'all are feeling about the job market? As someone who just turned 50 & is currently looking for a job my opinion has vacillated widely 🤷

A few days ago I got 13 notifications at the same time did I have been banned from subs I never interacted with.
Today I noticed that they're all gone did anybody else have this experience? Was this a known bug? I'm really perplexed.
I want to get some lines taken care of around my eyes and above my lips. Is this a filler thing or Botox or both? I'm supposed to have an appointment at a Med Spa on Monday and I just want to have a general sense before going in there
I haven't had my hair done in a while but I have never been charged $25 for a flat ironing when I'm getting my haircut and I always have it ironed to make sure that the lines are clean.
I explicitly told her from the start showed a photo and said this is what I want, told her that I flat iron my hair and she instead spent a ton of time blow drying it making it look all puffy.
I asked her to iron it after I realized she wasn't planning on it. then she went and charged me an extra 25 bucks for it without saying anything. Yhis just seems shitty AF l is a standard?
I shared a more general description of this on another post recently but I've has such a good response I thought I would share more broadly. I'm the kind of person who has NEVER been afforded the luxury of doing things the "traditional way", I've always had to be creative which almost always works out.
Like most of the people in this sub I'm currently looking for work. I have a doctoral degree and I'm being a little picky about where I apply, I've been looking for the "right job" for about a month. I have applied to 23 positions, had interview offers for 9 have about a 40% response rate I've have 2nd and 3rds for some of these but no offers yet, 4 have gone in "another direction".
40% response rate isn't the worst but I found myself focused on the ones I never heard from after I applied. I worried Ai could be getting in the way because the positions I'm applying to would be "great fits" but also are likely to be quite competitive (think Brown, John Hopkins ect.).
I took 6 of them that I was still really interested in and I created a spreadsheet which included:
5 of the 6 responded within 24 hours. One has scheduled an interview; Two told me to apply to a different job numbers and they would review; one was filled but asked me to resend info because they have another spot opening up soon; One said they would pass my info the someone else.
It may or may not result in a job offer but the thing is, if I hadn't messaged them it definitely wouldn't have.
By contacting people directly, I bypassed Ai I put myself on their radar. Essentially forming a personal relationship with somebody in a position of power to make a decision (not just an HR recruiter).
Obviously I wouldn't suggest doing this with every job that you've applied to but for those that are at the top of your list and you haven't heard back in two weeks it really can't hurt.
The most time consuming part of the process was finding the contact info for those I wanted to message (ie, department heads), it took some commitment, but once I wrote the draft message I was able to edit it according to where it was going.
See below for an example of the message I sent.
Hi XX.
My name is XX, and I am a XX with experience treating adolescents and young adults across a broad range of conditions and settings with a specialization in XX. I applied for the open XX position on April XX and am writing to follow up on my application.
I understand that you may have already made decisions regarding candidate selection; however, I am also aware that many employers are now utilizing automated screening systems which are sometimes known to filter out qualified candidates before their applications are reviewed. This is why I am reaching out to confirm my application was received and to express my continued interest in the role.
My XX background includes providing XX. I believe this experience aligns well with the qualifications you are seeking for this position.
I have not attached my CV or cover letter to avoid redundancy, however I would be more than happy to resend or provide any additional materials at your convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my candidacy.
Sincerely,
XX
Best of luck to you all.
Hi everyone, I have a bunch of old PDF files that were hours logs, they had the numbers typed in and then were printed and signed by my boss then scanned to PDF.
I noticed yesterday that while the number are still there the signatures are gone. These were not digital, actual pen on paper then scanned. I'm using a Mac, I know I'm not losing my mind because it happened to a bunch of my documents and while I may have missed getting one or two signed I know I didn't miss as many as Im seeing the problem with.
Does anyone know what could be happening? These files are saved onto an external drive.
I tried opening in Mac viewer and Adobe.
I keep hearing about this mental health "provider shortage" but I've been looking for a job listings for a month.
The only jobs I'm seeing are for these trash online therapy companies with for-profit models that pay 1099 and have high turnover and a lot of jobs for masters level clinicians .
What is happening? Am I missing something? Is there actually a shortage? Or is it Just in some sectors ? Has anybody else picked up on this?
location: Upstate NY, My landlord came over without warning and took out the sidewalk now I have no clear path to the driveway it may not be a problem in the summer but it definitely will be in the winter. There's no path from the back door either.
Do I have any recourse for this? There was a sidewalk there when I moved in.
He also just increased my rent by $150 a month to start in july. There's no rent control or protections against that he's just a general douchebag.
Here's a link for a photo taken today. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1t4sf32/oc_landlord_took_my_sidewalk_out/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I'm tired of being strung along.. I sent this msg to a few positions im still waiting for next steps on.
I concluded that I'm giving one more week and I'm moving on.
Why do emplorers keep telling people they're interested and "someone will be in touch" but then two weeks later still nothing 🤔.
Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot here but if they can't get their act together enough to set up a second interview within a two-week turnaround it tells me a lot about the level of organization I can expect going forward.
TBH I don't care if they say we moved on without you I just want to narrow my focus because all this "up in the air stuff" with multiple employers is really stressing me out.
I have no idea where I'll be working, if I'll have to relocate or what life looks like in 6mo.
I just want to get on with my life!
I'm looking for a job & EVERYWHERE I look all I keep getting are these trash 1099's. These companies (lifestance, thrive, ect.) are placing individual ads for remote jobs in virtually every city which means there more then 80% of the search results.
It's literally impossible to locate real jobs. This is on essentially every type of board from linkedin, APA jobs & the state psych board jobs. I know these websites make money on the ads that are based but I would rather pay a fee not to see this trash.
Thanks for listening :/
I have a Proform 750R, I don't currently have ifit activated (don't have the funds rn)
I just turned 50(f), I'm 5'6 about 160 (put a good amount of weight on my belly last two years).
I'm on HRT to stabilize estrogen/progesterone levels and to some extent it's helping but I do notice that I am losing muscle tone and just looking generally old and unfit.
I've always been thin and lanky my muscles always responded pretty well to working out in the past but I don't know what to expect now. My goal is to take off some of the weight and tone up my muscles.
I'm wondering if anybody can recommend:

I have a Galaxy watch and a Galaxy Z flip. They've been working fine with no problems of course I did an update and now I'm getting an error when I try to locate the watch that is sitting right next to the phone.
The watch and the phone are both signed into the same Samsung account mobile network is fine on both devices. I've disconnected and reconnected to the account and the bluetooth. Restarted the phone/watch still no fix. Does anybody have any ideas?
I wish somebody would start a website with a database that would allow people to start listing all the companies that ghost applicants.
We can start getting their names out there and then people will stop wasting their time applying to those jobs. It'll also likely cut back on all the fake job postings because of a company gets flagged enough for it people will stop applying all together and that defeats the purpose.
I would do it but I'm currently in the process of looking for a job and that's pretty time-consuming in itself.
If anybody else is bored there's a WordPress plugin I think it's called Jreviews that I've used for other website builds you could use that and we can have people say whether they were ghosted before the application process or if they never got any response to their application process or if you know all that stuff we could completely turn the tables on these people. Give them low star ratings LOL
I'm just saying if anybody's bored I have the idea I just don't have the time and energy to do it right now.
