Congrats those who have received offers. I’m slowly getting there, and found out this morning I’m on the reserve for the IoPPN, which I am delighted with as it’s the best I’ve done and I was a reserve for interview too. I would really appreciate hearing if anyone knows of any movement over the next ...

Hi, I don't really have any advice but just wanted to say i'm in a similar situation so I know how frustrating it is. I'm in a situation where I can't afford to take the pay cut of a full-time AP post, and can't relocate from London unless it's to East Anglia, so i'm severely limited. Not sure what ...

Well done, that in itself is a good achievement, I was there myself last year! Last year they told me what place I was on the notification email (I was 11th). I'm not sure how many people are on the reserve list, however I can tell you for sure that it only moved 1 place last year. I submitted an FO...

Going to take a bit of time away from the forum, to give myself a well earned break. Really wanted this.

Oh god. I'm praying that either they haven't called all on the list yet, or that they tried to get me when I was on the tube around that time, as I haven't heard anything.

Wondered in anyone knew about the status of the RHUL reserve list? A friend of mine is a reserve and would be great to give her some positive news!

And yeah, I know lived experience is such a valuable thing. I just can't help but feel like it's slightly different for social anxiety though. I feel like if I ever admitted it to someone in the workplace or an employer or anything they wouldn't view it in a positive light since good people skills ...

I can relate to this. I used to suffer from really bad social anxiety. I got a research post after finishing my MSc, and although recruiting and assessing patients at first terrified me (especially being observed!), I learnt that as my knowledge and confidence in my area grew, so did my confidence i...

Hi, Just in case anyone is interested I thought i'd say what is going on. I just interviewed this morning for a Research Therapist position doing CRT in psychosis. I think the interview went well, but I am much less excited about the position now I've spoken to the PI. Although I would get plenty of...

Thank you all for your input. I have decided to apply for the longer fixed-term jobs (all are advertised very short notice in our school, so the turnaround is very quick). Also going to have a meeting with HoD to explore if there are any upcoming posts. Have considered enrolling for a PhD part time ...

Thank Bluecat for your take on my situation. I agree that's it's not a good idea to count the chicks too soon. So taking both options is also an option, that I hadn't thought of considering. The benefit of our short term jobs is that they do not require an interview, so it would be switching straigh...

My current contract is finishing mid-June and there is no opportunity for extension due to funding. Late May I have a DClin interview, and although I know my chances aren't great, I'm not giving up. So I need something to do with myself until mid Sept at the earliest (assuming I do get a place). And...
