Is it unusual to be asked to do a panel presentation at a conference AND be required to pay registration? I've been invited to be on a panel, I agreed. I was planning on going ahead and signing up for the conference and attending in person, but I'll have to pay full registration price. Now I'm told my session will be virtual, so I don't really even have to show up at the conference. But they are requiring me to pay the 'virtual attendance' price of about $500. If I'm virtual, I really would wind up not going to any of the other sessions virtually. I think its odd, that I've been asked to sit on the panel, give a presentation and required to pay $500 to do so, especially when I wasn't seeking this organization, nor would get much value out of it. So is this normal procedure to require presenters to pay full registration price? | 48509805d834e7551fd408175259ad21d0e38e35668bfa8134d335fab985866c | [

Indeed, commentators and chairs have been lost that way - they accept the invitation, but drop off the program after learning that there is an associated fee. One of my professional organizations dropped the registration fee by a very small amount for virtual conferences, using the excuse that running a virtual conference is expensive for them. This may be true! It does not, however, change the fact that the registration fee for in-person conferences was already quite high, and the small savings for virtual make it a very poor value for my limited travel/professional development funds.",

I'm an interdisciplinary scholar, and I've applied to basically everything for which I am qualified. I am up to 106 applications, with 32 rejections. I had three first-round interviews, but I got rejections after. I requested feedback, and I was repeatedly told that my CV is strong, my interview performance is good, but the market is killing me. For one entry-level position, the committee head told me they decided not to go entry-level at all, and that I was competing with full professors with 10+ years of experience. At least a couple positions were canceled due to lack of funding, and I get the sense that several positions are waiting to do interviews until they know whether they will be able to hire anyone.",

I've gotten emails about moving past first stage of interviews, but at least I got rejection letters from other places. I finally got an interview request a couple of weeks back only to have the job search cancelled. But then they invited me to reapply with a different posting?? Mostly, it feels like a crapshoot since my field is quite narrow and competitive for TT jobs. But I'm optimistic. I am currently on a post-doc and am still waiting to hear back from those 8-10 fellowships/VAP/TT jobs i applied for.

I've applied to at least 5 jobs that I've seen pop up in the last month or so, which I imagine is coming from more optimism about the state of the fall. I've gotten emails about moving past first stage of interviews, but at least I got rejection letters from other places. I finally got an interview request a couple of weeks back only to have the job search cancelled. But then they invited me to reapply with a different posting?? Mostly, it feels like a crapshoot since my field is quite narrow and competitive for TT jobs. But I'm optimistic. I am currently on a post-doc and am still waiting to hear back from those 8-10 fellowships/VAP/TT jobs i applied for. It seems like many are pushing back their interviews until April for mine, which is later from what I've seen in the past.",

I've gotten emails about moving past first stage of interviews, but at least I got rejection letters from other places. I finally got an interview request a couple of weeks back only to have the job search cancelled. But then they invited me to reapply with a different posting?? Mostly, it feels like a crapshoot since my field is quite narrow and competitive for TT jobs. But I'm optimistic. I am currently on a post-doc and am still waiting to hear back from those 8-10 fellowships/VAP/TT jobs i applied for. It seems like many are pushing back their interviews until April for mine, which is later from what I've seen in the past.",

"content": "First year on the market seriously after defending last year. (Technically, my third year.) I've applied to at least 5 jobs that I've seen pop up in the last month or so, which I imagine is coming from more optimism about the state of the fall. I've gotten emails about moving past first stage of interviews, but at least I got rejection letters from other places. I finally got an interview request a couple of weeks back only to have the job search cancelled. But then they invited me to reapply with a different posting?? Mostly, it feels like a crapshoot since my field is quite narrow and competitive for TT jobs. But I'm optimistic. I am currently on a post-doc and am still waiting to hear back from those 8-10 fellowships/VAP/TT jobs i applied for. It seems like many are pushing back their interviews until April for mine, which is later from what I've seen in the past.",

I've applied again to a job which I lost out on (got to the final interview stage last summer) due to covid not allowing me to enter the country, but I'm expecting that that will still be the case this year as well.

I did an interdisciplinary degree and while I have a first author paper, my CV does not look the same as others in the field I want to postdoc in. It’s really hard out there, much sympathy for everyone in the same boat! Edit: update - got the third rejection Edit: guys I finally got a postdoc",
