I do have a mobile pole in my apartment. It is a tension based system.

I started a few months ago at in-person classes. When the shut down came again, I got a pole and have been utilizing the studio's online classes.

Based on the little I know about BS&W, expect to be very busy and possibly have a pathway to a staff position if you're a good fit (e.g., productive). I know multiple people who left medicine-related positions with BS&W due to burnout.

While Temple, TX is not the worst place to live, it's also far from the best, especially in comparison to some of the other cities within a 1-3 hour drive. Good luck!

Me too because I applied for that one too and haven't heard anything. I think they do notify differently because someone heard from a research track at one point and another person heard about other tracks on another day. So far I haven't seen anything posted about any tracks I put in for.

Well I submitted mine last week and also got an email to set up a phone informal interview. Is this typical of post doc apps? So far I've had 3 informal interviews and setting up interviews in January.

They are a really great site....but that's based on my internship interview there. Temple seems to be a super small town. Very different from living in Florida where beaches are 20-30 minutes away in every direction.

Right here! I'm just trying to remind myself that every person I know is running behind right now. We are all just *fried* and I think that includes TDs. I think everything is going to be a bit later than expected... and then I search around my house for my next comfort snack.

I applied to a different track and haven't heard either, if that's any consolation!
 
thanks for posting. I feel like it helps me. I'm wondering if they are just behind.
I know my current site was behind in sending out internship interview invites (because they have the current interns involved in the process). I'm trying to remind myself that other sites are probably in a similar position. COVID has really delayed a lot, so trying to remember that instead of anxiety spiraling 🙃 It's like... 50% working

Method of Invitation (Phone call, personal/mass email, Snapchat): Mass Email
Specialty Track or Site (e.g., for consortiums): Addictions & Interprofessional General Mental Health
Interview Dates Offered: 1/15/21, 1/21/21, & 1/25/21 (AM 0830 to 1300 and PM 1130 to 1615 sessions available); via Teams likely. However, accommodations can be made for other virtual means if Teams is not an option. Likewise, adjustments can be made to the time if you are not in the Eastern time zone, so you do not have to have an interview at a time that significantly departed from your current time zone.

Do y’all think it’s okay to reach out to sites to inquire about interview invite status? If so, when? Because we aren’t having to make financial or logistical decisions for travel, I don’t really *need* to know, but my anxiety wants to know if I should start looking for additional sites. I applied to four sites with due dates before 12/15 and haven’t heard back :/ thanks yall.
 
A few of us in my internship cohort already secured postdocs via cold email. I did also send more formal applications to other sites outside of the APPA CAS and did not hear back yet except for one (which I had to turn down). I applied to around 6 sites. I think you can reach out, and in terms of applying to more sites, I would encourage you to look for fit. You tend to have more choice in where you go for postdocs. Good luck, you got this!
