Hi guys,
Its been 2.5 years now that I've been applying for PhD positions, and still not a single bit of luck. I haven't even managed to land 2.5 interviews! I've written and re-written research proposals, cover letters, and CV's a hundred times - each time looking into alllll the advice I can find online. Nothing seems to be working. It seems it works for other people, but nothing works for me.
I'm really desperate now, so I want to ask whether anyone out there would do me a reaaaaally huge favor, and please go a few of the things that I send in my applications, and please tell me what exactly the heck I am doing wrong. It will be somewhat long and somewhat specialized, but I really don't know what to do. Absolutely any comments would be helpful (even that its too long!).
Please PM me if anyone is up to it. I am an electronics engineer, so most of it would be regarding that subject, but really any ideas would be useful.
