Jobs/VacanciesRe: How Do Introverts Cope In Job Race by blueberryblue: 5:14pm On May 15, 2017
spacyzuma:
I'm an introvert and I relate to the post and most comments.
Still, I've managed to get two very good jobs, purely by merit. I consider myself very fortunate.
I've always hated interviews and still do (especially as I have a stutter), but I've done enough of them that I no longer fear them. The key is to practice repeatedly, and always remain calm.

Modern society is now controlled by extroverts. The Sanguins and Cholerics.

As an introvert, it's important to learn how to network and socialize, or at least PRETEND (which is what I did/do). But it's still hard. Even in my job, the pressure to be outgoing and network and socialize and 'kiss-ass' is still strong, and can be overwhelming.

I can so relate to this spacyzuma. I agree it can be so overwhelming. I've realised it is really hard for us introverts to ask for help, when looking for jobs,/promotions/other opportunities. Just getting out of that comfort zone is a task. It's not pride, it's just how our minds are wired. But we have to try nevertheless. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right?. It always surprises me how easily other extroverted people can go out to canvass for jobs, call up prospective employers "just to greet them", follow up, even visit them and do other things to get their attention. And I'm just like- I have to really mentally prepare myself to even pick up the phone or go see someone who could link me up to an opportunity, while another person does it without thinking twice, even wondering why you're 'jonesing' or 'forming'.
Whatever it is, one has to make adjustments to adapt to your environment in order to get what you want. I guess when you're on the field, you have to play ball.
God help us all.
EducationRe: FG Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) Scholarship Awards 2017/2018 by blueberryblue: 1:57pm On May 15, 2017
Hi. I'd applied for Hungary (MSc) I got a call from FSB sometime last month that I'd been nominated to apply for stipendium hungaricum. I was told to send the online application, which I did. A few days ago I got other another mail from the Hungarian University directly to prepare for a Skype interview online this week. That's all I have for now.
I would love to hear other people's experiences, both past and present who've gotten to this stage,. What can I expect? Any tips? How much longer will this process take?
Thanks in advance.

Story of my life. Almost to a tee. In my case, first it was medicine, and when that didn’t go well with me, then it was law. In retrospect, all works for good. I am now a qualified lawyer (with all the fake effizy and oppression that comes with that smiley ). My heart runs in the opposite direction anytime I see a law firm. And blazes fire when I’m speaking or writing on a passionate issue, or working with kids. Which is why I want a career in radio/tv, and/or teaching and/or social work. It gives me the joy I need to get up each morning. It’s a heart thing.

If you can, tough it out. The school thing that is. If it’s too overwhelming to your heart to stay the course, set up a BOMB exit plan and work like hell to make your talent successful. Go hard or go home. Shame all the naysayers. Make them believe it can be done, because you did it.
Whatever your decision, enjoy the journey along the way. Life is beautiful my love. Don’t miss out on the stars and water and the beach and all the interesting people that will come into your life.

It works out alright in the end. Believe that. Peace and love. I’m rooting for you.
