Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express
Any dermatology research opportunities?

Middle school kids are tough lol. I bet they come around. It can be just as difficult for the students to adjust to you being back as it is for you to be back. Don’t get discouraged I bet things get better soon. And if not, the bright side is you only have about a month before summer break!
This was difficult for me too. When I returned the kids were very happy (1st graders are like puppies) but I was not happy to be back. I had newborn NICU twins to bond with and it was so hard to make it through the last 6 weeks of school.
I think that transitioning to a working mom is difficult for every new mother but for many different reasons. During this time our harmones might also still be affecting our emotions, we are tired, we miss our baby, we have so much work to do for school and even more to do when we get home; there is no end to any of it. It might just take a while before you get back into your rhythm, or you might have to find a new groove. It can be a hard time and students can make you feel unappreciated. Remember your return is also a big change for your students and they can make this transition difficult. It is different for everyone.
Yes, transitioning back to work was difficult for me but not because of the students I was returning to teach. As I tried to transition back to work, I hated every day that I had to leave my babies in the hands of the childcare workers. I hated giving my most alert and energy filled part of the day to my job (as teacher) while my babies got the leftover, tired end of day, part of me. I knew that my children primarily needed their parents to raise, nurture and teach them during their first years. I felt awful knowing that most of their awake time was spent with strangers. Now don't get me wrong, my children were well taken care of, but they were so much happier in the summer when they were not in daycare. They were also much more healthy. No more daycare, no more endless colds, ear aches or ear tubes. My husband and I did something we never thought we could do. We became we a 1 income household. I stayed home over 12 years with my children and we welcomed 2 more children during that time which made us a family of 6 on a teacher's salary. Now that was a transition! It was hard but worth every hurdle, tear and success. Today we have 4 independent successful and happy college graduates who are working in their career fields, earning advanced degrees, serving our country, and making this world a better place for so many others.
When you find your way through this change, II am sure you will be a positive force in the lives of the children you touch, and you will be rocking and rolling soon.
Yes I have been there. Any time I take time off I struggle to get back in the swing of things when it is time to go back to work. I think we all struggle with that to be completely h onest.
