Slight AW-ish, but I've been riding the struggle bus with this so I wanted to share.
After several rejections (due to a stupid technicality over which I have no control, and not due to my skills or qualifications), I finally got invited for an interview for a postdoc position!!!
I have been feeling pretty down about all the rejections, so it feels good to finally have a real chance at this! I was at the point where I was thinking I would need to look for other work after 13 years (and buttload of student loans!) on this path.
I'm still waiting to hear from 2 or 3 other sites, and I'm more hopeful now .
