BUSY PHD VLOG: applying to be a professor in rhetoric & composition while finishing grad school!

[@umairmasood9071]

Hi Sarah. I'm addicted to your vlogs. I'm currently pursuing a bachelors degree in English language from my country Pakistan, and I have ambitions to study PhD in USA. I watch all your videos and you are an inspiration for me.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Omg thank you so much! ❤

[@shelleydenison]

I've been really loving your channel! Also, I love how meta it is that you study digital communication AND you're a vlogger.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thanks so much! It is quite meta 😅

What a trooper Megan is for being on a no-chew diet! Very intrigued by the academic job market insider knowledge you dropped here! I look forward to the next one!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Megan has been SUCH a trooper it’s so impressive!

Silent viewer but had to comment quickly to provide a suggestion that I think could be useful! Regarding your citations, have you ever considered Zotero? Back when I was in grad school I used the web browser plug-in and app to cite and it was the holy grail ✨ If I recall correctly, it should be able to cite YT vids but I’m unsure how it’ll do with threads and columns. My school happened to have the program software as a resource through the library and I’ve been hooked ever since. Hopefully this helps and good luck with your dis and job apps 🎉

i'm seconding this. i had the plug in for endnote and it made my diss so much more manageable!! get the chrome plug-in!!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Okay I must look into this! Thanks so much for sharing and for your support ❤

[@silvialogan9226]

Sarah, I wish you good luck in your job applications. I hope that you will get the job.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thank you ❤

[@rebekahlawler5133]

Also on the English job market so I feel you! Very stressful, but also trying to look forward to the exciting adventures ahead!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Ah! Good luck out there! ❤

[@RuebenNomura]

Morning from Hawaii just love your phd vlog every Sunday

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thanks for supporting my channel ❤

[@chloejackson7073]

[@asianistlife]

Thanks for sharing your job application process with us 🎉 I’m doing my PhD in Australia but it’s still nice to see what the process is like in your part of the world 😊

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thank you for watching! ❤

[@dontatme319]

Been through two rounds and was successful the second time - you got this!!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thanks so much 🥹

[@MaddieMettler]

Best of luck with applications! I would also batch cover letters, then CVs, then teaching statements etc. that seems like the easier way to approach!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thank you! ❤ yes! This seems like a more efficient workflow!

Hi Sarah, I hope you're doing well! I'm Halima, a first-year PhD student, and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your content and vlogs. I've been meaning to ask you about the workshops you attend on writing and publishing papers. Since I plan to write and submit my first paper this semester, I'd love to know how I can join those workshops or if you could share any useful links that might help. Thank you so much! I'm a big fan, and I wish you all the best. Keep up the amazing work! Warm regards, Halima

[@allissar.534]

I really enjoy your channel. I just started my master's degree in food science and nutrition this August. I have been thinking about doing a PhD or a combined PhD and DVM program, but I don't know.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

Thank you for watching! A PhD is a huge commitment! But I’m glad I did an accelerated/combined program ❤

[@annielikestoreadandwatchtv3468]

I'm currently getting my second master's in English Education, grades 7-12 to be an English middle or high school teacher and I have to take English and Education courses. One of my required English courses this semester is Rhetoric and Composition.

I just noticed that GVSU is hiring a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Writing with expertise in first-year writing. Not sure if that's of interest to you or not!

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

thanks for sharing!

[@diannabradley5683]

I have never felt like I could have a basic cover letter to edit and work into positions. I've always felt like I needed to write a fresh letter for each position I have applied to.

[@SarahFischerVlogs]

So validating to hear! 😅

[@macyburkett2882]

Lawrence, KS (Univ. of KS) is super fun and super close to KC 😉🌻
