i’ve submitted well over 50 job applications this summer. tell me why the one (1) position i’ve made the most progress toward is one i didn’t even apply for???* and THEN. yesterday. one of my preceptors from the internship i just finished emailed me out of the blue like Hey i'm gonna have an open position at my private practice soon, are you interested?** girl what the fuck is going on here***

#* i was interviewing for a part time gig and halfway thru guy was was like Oh we also have this totally different position you might like!!#(i'm two interviews in and it's got big pros and cons but it's full time with salary good benefits and great opportunities #but the job itself is not exactly my bag #but it also def wouldn't be a long term thing #the woman from the second interview said she'd have one of the current RDs in that role give me a call so i can ask more questions ab it)#** honestly a great opportunity but two things give me pause:#1. i really enjoyed my time with that rotation and my preceptor was SO kind and lovely but #it seemed like we were just communicating on different wavelengths. like i'd ask a question and then she'd give me an irrelevant answer.#she'd give me an assignment and it would take me two or three tries to get what she wanted.#it was all just slightly off. but maybe that's ok bc i wouldn't be doing ASSIGNMENTS if i worked for her. i would be seeing clients #and 2. the pay is weirdly not good. like SIGNIFICANTLY less than comparable listings i've seen #but i applied for all those and got rejected bc i don't have experience lol so maybe it'd be worth it for a little while #just to get my foot in the door #and i think it would be very flexible and i would start off with a small case load anyway so maybe i could just do it part time #while i do something else full time #bc tbh i also want to work as much as i can (without burning out) while i'm here in tx to take advantage of the lack of state income tax #and lbr if i learned anything from my internship experience it's that i hate being bored and i like variety #how great would it be to bounce between like inpatient acute care and outpatient counseling constantly. keep this brain ENGAGED!#*** the gatekeeping in this profession is unfuckingreal #like i KNEW this profession in particular was too much about ~networking~ and ~who you know~ but #i didn't think it would be this fucking bad
