Omg what a horrific nightmare. Please consider donating to help an amazing grad student I used to work with. Her family needs all the support they can get. – at Elkton, MD

Some great advice here! I will also say I tailored my resume to the specific job I was applying to highlighting specific skills they'd be interested in. Also reach out to the recruiters directly, saying you applied and expressing interest. – at Newark, DE

It's also good to recognize that even if you can take a real break this month, it may not be anywhere near enough to recover. I know I wasn't always able to recover. The stress you're under often requires longer (esp. if you're dealing with stress from your personal life)

I emailed every applicant who I'm not admitting, being fully transparent about my decision-making process & giving guidance & reassurance. Not getting in is tough - it took me several application cycles to get in. It sucks. But please don't ghost applicants.
Excuse me, today the whole class authentically laughed at my jokes multiple times during my lecture. Many students in the back row also asked in depth questions. I feel as though I've won a teaching award. – at Ardmore, PA
Find people who you can directly talk/connect with. It's the only way I survived, by seeking validation of how hard it is to exist in an environment that is made for a different socioeconomic class. Blue Collar Scholars on Facebook really helped me. My dm is always open! – at Wilmington Manor, DE

I also want to add that as an academic 1st gen I was unaware, when I started, that post docs are basically required to continue on the academic path. It's unrealistic for me to continue to be paid ~30k a year when I have other familial responsibilities weighing on me. – at Wilmington Manor, DE
