MarcM Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 kARI, CHECK IN PLEASE. tHERE HAVE BEEN SOME REALLY BAD STORMS IN HER NECK OF THE WOODS.
The Seeker Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 She was online yesterday it seems, but didn't post...
Shawna Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Posted March 16, 2008 Everyone is allowed 5 personal days per year, plus 2 weeks vacation. All unpaid, of course. And you must check with me before you take them. I have authorized Peaches to take some personal days. She is fine and will be back soon!
MarcM Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 She can take as much time as she wants. I just wanted to make sure she did not get blown away.
invisible_r Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Rachel needs to post here! you'd be glad to know I just did. I have plenty of free time now, what with looking for a job and all. sitting at home all day is great ....
Jenny Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Nice to have you back. Good luck on the job search.
invisible_r Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 thanks, I'm trying to stay optimistic, but every day that goes by, I get even more frustrated. I never thought it would take more than two months to find a job....
Jenny Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I guess the job market overseas isn't much better than the one here. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
invisible_r Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 you are sweet. I guess it's a bit of a domino effect everywhere, although the fact that I'm moving into a new industry isn't really helping either. how are you supposed to get experience when they always ask for experience?? bah!
Lea Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 how are you supposed to get experience when they always ask for experience?? bah! I used to wonder the same thing when I was younger. It just didn't ever make much since to me. To be honest it still doesnt. It's to bad they don't have more apprentice programs so the experience issue isn't such a problem.
invisible_r Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I have a stupid PhD though, you know, what else do they want??? I sometimes wonder why I even bothered...
Ombre Vivante Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 you'd be glad to know I just did. I have plenty of free time now, what with looking for a job and all. sitting at home all day is great .... Hmmm... not the situation I'd conjure up for ye, but it's great to read from you nonetheless. Don't feel too discouraged. It took about 8 months for me to find a job. A classmate of mine also had to wait about 8 months for the same kind of job. But she still kept her eye out for other openings and, one year later, she got another job that pays more, is less stressful, and is a coupla miles from where she lives. I tells ye, when it rains - it pours
edna Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 I have a stupid PhD though, you know, what else do they want??? I sometimes wonder why I even bothered... Hello, Rachel!! So glad to see you around... You´ll find something, I´m sure, though it might take some time. Your PhD will eventually open doors for you... wanna bet? I heard it´s not easy to find a job in Europe by now... be patient, enjoy laziness -yes, Iknow, it´s not easy- and post... I am looking for a new job too... and I´m 52...
invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 thank you everyone for your nice words. I will try not to complain too much about it but as you can imagine, I'm not in the best of moods. Oh and not yet Dr. Rachel, I have my viva (oral exam) in a month, after that I will officially be Doctor of Philosophy
Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Not complain too much ?! That just wouldn't be YOU then ! Nice to see you back here , Rachel ! I haven't had anyone to pick on for awhile ... Edited March 26, 2008 by Guest
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Rachel nice to see you back here on SF! Good luck with the job search, you will find something...good thoughts going your way!
Kevin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 thank you everyone for your nice words. I will try not to complain too much about it but as you can imagine, I'm not in the best of moods. Oh and not yet Dr. Rachel, I have my viva (oral exam) in a month, after that I will officially be Doctor of Philosophy No wonder you're unemployed - who needs a dissertation on Locke , when they just want you to sell , baby , sell !
invisible_r Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 No wonder you're unemployed - who needs a dissertation on Locke , when they just want you to sell , baby , sell ! well actually, doctor of philosophy does not mean you did a PhD in philosophy. so you comment should read, who needs a dissertation on Vav1 when they want you to sell. And I am looking for a job in writing and publishing, not selling bleh! I actually just got an e-mail asking me to write a chapter for a science book and act as their editor, which is bizarre given that I can't get a job in the field!
Farin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 as I understand it, every doctor in the English speaking world is a "philosophical" one (PhD) - unless it's a Medical Doctor (MD), right?
Farin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 well then? in Germany it's simple: they're called "Doktor" (Dr.) with their specific field so a Doctor of medicine is a "Dr. med.", one of Biology is a "Dr. biol.", a dentist is "Dr. med. dent." etc. we love abbreviations
