Most of the time it’s the expression on their face rather than the way they look, at least for me. Indignat, arrogant, what you’d expect from an asshole.
Well thank you, that’s really good advice! I’m also thinking about signing up for a video call tutoring role so i guess that’s tangentially related - i could then move on to working as a msths tutor at the university.
At least where I work, delays in the hiring process apply to non-teaching roles as well. Sometimes it takes longer to fill those roles as they require less student interaction, and therefore take backseats to faculty teaching roles and upper administration positions. “A few days” can quickly become weeks depending on the demand for the position in relation to other open positions, budget cycles, PTO (it’s summer here, so campus is a ghost town), tuition numbers, etc. It certainly sucks, no doubt about it. Just another caveat of seeking a career in higher ed.
I can’t say enough about my experience working un higher ed. One of the only places I’ve found where just getting a foot in the door is enough to almost guarantee career growth (at least until you hit an absurd ceiling, and desire more work because you’re a masochist, like my dumb ass). I started as a part-time admissions counselor, a job you can almost train a cat to perform. Since then, I’ve held 7 positions across 4 departments with the school, each another step up the grand ladder of career growth. Currently an Assistant Director.
Just hang un there. If this one doesn’t pan out, keep an eye out for other Uni jobs. Bonus if you’re still young (I’m not), as there’s not many better places to meet new people and network.
Thanks, that makes sense. Though I’m not sure if non-teaching roles count as a position in higher ed; casting away all worries about doxxing myself, the three things i’m waiting for are:
one part-time SU job, interviewed for 2. Start date would be next sept but they said to me in person “we’ll be in touch in the next few days,” and i figured they’d have a good idea how long it all takes.
A maintenance job at the uni, wasn’t clear on start date.
Maths tutor role that i’m probably not qualified for but sounded genuinely fun.
First 2 have already passed their deadline.
All three had radically simple application processes, which i think is smart but it stands out as weird when all the spam-apply jobs require writing your entire life story.
The thing is i think it would be hard to do interviews if i don’t remember the context of where i applied. The SU jobs i applied for had absolutely nothing to jog my memory on what i’d actually applied for, when i got the interviews it felt like they just sent me to roles i had specifically avoided ticking yes to. They actually might have messed up their form or something, but i digress.
Ill be honest. I send out so much stuff, and im not a person who does the let ai blast thousands of resume type, that I don’t really notice if a place ghosts me or not. Granted im through the roof to get a reply that allows me to send a thanks for your time type of reply to an actual person. That pretty gosh darn rare though. Like once a year rare. Man its depressing im talking about job searching in terms of years.
If it’s a position in higher education, waiting out the entire application process deadline plus another 60-90 days isn’t too unrealistic.
I work in higher ed, and am currently waiting for a call, email, text, carrier pigeon, squire… from another higher ed institution about my status for their CIO position. Applied in February, search committee four weeks ago… not a peep since.
Irritating, but when you know the industry and the snails pace they generally move at, well…
Companies are machines. You’re dealing with machines. Once you understand that you’re not dealing with normal people who have a duty to behave decently with you, it all makes sense and you stop fretting about it.
I’m in the same boat (in France) and I believe there is no conspiracy. It’s a major worldwide fuckup from the companies who: fire people by pretending IA is great, don’t have the budget to hire right now, don’t want to hire but are testing the waters, don’t know what they want, don’t know how to hire, have too specific demands that no one can fulfill, etc.
I have sent more than a 100 resumes for the past 6 months with the results:
no answer
rejection without an explanation
rejection with a fake explanation ("you failed the technical tests” yet I NEVER did any technical test for that company)
and rejection but the same job offer is posted over and over and over again despite having more than 200 people applying
They don’t know what they want, they don’t have the budget, they don’t care, it’s a combo of all those pathetic excuses.
Do you use certain extensions and add ons? Mine only really gets toxic like this when on the YT app on my tablet, it’s nice on my pc. I use something called de-arrow which also fixes thumbnails too get rid of clickbait and ai stuff, as well as making video titles more accurate.
Oh yes, this bullshit is all over YouTube. It is very misogynistic. It is not just this guy. I watched a video about “idiots on the road”, next suggestion had a thumbnail of woman in a very short dress coming out of her car out of an accident which is clearly her fault, I watched the whole video, there is no such woman or car in the whole video. This is just goon misogynistic clickbait.
Oh look at this woman even though she is sexy she is very dumb woman.

I make notes about all jobs I send resumes to to myself by email to jog my memory.

So relatable, I remember submitting hundreds of applications after graduating only to get ghosted by over 90% of them.

People’s YouTube feed are scary as fuck to me, mine is so focused on my interests I never see anything remotely like that
Real.
For guys it’s this, for girls it’s tradwife content. Organized and well funded global campaign to push people to the right. It’s working too.
Click on “…” and select either “not interested” it the bigger hammer of “don’t recommend channel”.
Looks interesting !!!
