#i prepped my spiel about my research in advance
Text
did the postdoc interview.
#paperstars 23#idk how it went#pros:#i prepped my spiel about my research in advance#the person heading the interview mentioned multiple times that she wished we had more time to talk#and that she wanted to hear my ideas about various subjects#also another interviewer told me that if my writing sample was any indication then the diss must be stellar#i could sort of anticipate most of the q's and i kept bringing it back to what their institution would get out of this deal#cons:#one of the interviews was...so hard for me to read#i couldn't tell if he was bored or dissatisfied with my answers#and i felt like i did not impress him at all#a couple times my answers felt...really shallow?...as they were coming out of my mouth?#like ''oh wow is there no substance to what i'm saying; am i just really really stupid and delusional''?#i was SO sweaty when we finished#and i wanted to throw up both before and after#i hate that i'm getting my hopes up#and then suddenly i'll be like ''oh shit wait you answered that wrong you should have said THIS now you won't get it''#the hope and disappointment are this constantly undulating wave#like. on the one hand. this postdoc is LITERALLY WHAT I DO.#on the other hand. maybe it's literally what someone else who's smarter than me does.
