Not just social scientists... it's not great for the life sciences either. It seems there are jobs that require totally different skills to the ones I actually have. In fact it seems pointless even applying, because I write myself off the moment I read the job ad! I'd love to get a research job and add to the skills I already have, but that would require someone wanting my skills in the first place ;-)
Outside of academia (i.e. in my case the pharmaceutical industry) it's all about industry experience, of which I have none. :$
I submitted yesterday.... it was terrifying! :-)
For those that are struggling - there really is an end in sight. I found writing up so so hard, there were times when I literally gave up, and it took me so much longer than it should have. I've been very unhappy for a lot of the past year, and my confidence plummeted to very low levels...At the beginning of July I honestly thought I would never ever finish because I was completely incapable of doing it. But it's done now, and I've just got to wait for the viva date.
So... keep going even if you don't think you can do it, because YOU CAN! :-)
me toooooo :-(
I want to lose around 2 stone. Been doing my 30 day shred DVD for the past week and a bit, as well as healthy eating. I lost 4 lb last week ;-).
Unfortunately I got a bit too tempted by the vending machine earlier when I bought two chocolate bars. Silly me :-(
Yep, got copies of such information every year when registering and have read them from time to time... plus I know where to access them on the uni website too :-)
To be fair, the person who asked about the word limits actually asked about minimum word limits. I don't think those are published anywhere ;-)
