Yeah, I’m just wondering what others are doing. Most of the positions I’m looking at would require relocation. I didn’t expect to make it to the second round because of the nature of my project, so I’d planned to throw myself into looking for jobs once I’d been rejected. Developed a coping mechanism before anything bad had even happened. Lol. My friends who are moving on to grad school from the work force have been saying that, in their experience, giving two weeks’ notice (nothing more) is the best idea if I don’t hear back from Fulbright before I have to accept an offer/start work. I SHOULD hear back before whatever my start date would be, though, unless I end up being an alternate... Of course, this is assuming anyone wants to hire me! This is so stressful! ? I didn’t think anything could be more stressful than waiting for the alternate results for CLS; I was so wrong.

What are people doing about applying for jobs, etc., while we wait for final notification? I’m a college senior, semifinalist for Study/Research in Nicaragua. The grant period starts in July and I graduate late May. I don’t want to assume I’ll get the grant and lose out on job opportunities while waiting possibly until May for notification, especially since I’m applying to do a literature project which seems pretty far-fetched (but, you know, they did recommend me - wasn’t sure I’d get this far!). On the other hand, I don’t want to sign a contract or anything knowing I might be leaving soon after starting. What are you all doing?
