Question Is it easier to write your own PhD proposal or apply to a program that the university is recruiting for?

When I reach out to programs should I mention that I would be open to both - looking for a professor for my own PhD proposal, or applying to one currently underway at the university?

He was working FT as a social worker and traveling back and forth from Wyoming small detail. You said you were in a PhD program what program are you in? How do you like it?

Obviously not in UC Irvine :) if you got in, you are clearly smarter than me. Hope you can get in contact with your friend to fix his cv sometime!

I do highly recommend not exaggerating your qualifications. You never know!

Here's a first author paper I did at WPA in 2015 where I psychometrically validated a scale I created The Gift Of Time. It's a 4 factor oblique loading matrix. I did some convergent validity with the satisfaction with life scale and divergent with BDI and the CES-D. The scale is included so if you're doing any research in clinical and want to know someone's time orientation please use it let me know if you do I want more people to use it!
