Hi friends,

I have been invited for an interview with managing director (research) of a reputed company.

Do you have any suggestion what kind of question or topics would be asked/assessed..

Thanks in advance...

One of the thing you haven't mentioned is the subject of yours....I know importance of a conference varie widely among different subjects...for example, i have seen it as highly regarded among computer science friends while in biology it is not that important to attend.....

If i were you, i would finish the introduction before industry internship and write rest after coming back...since you already missed the conf, i think there is no point feeling bad thinking that over and over again...

Hi friends,

I was wondering what is the best time to send unsolicited application to professors for a postdoc inquiry....during the week, friday, monday, or weekend?

Thanks!!

Tough call...though UniA is an obvious choice but it is a pain to do PhD on something you dont enjoy....believe me in difficult moments, your love and passion for the topic will get you through (have felt that).....otherwise, PhD is living hell (if you dont enjoy the topic or supervisor but you want degree)

So, if you go with UniA, you must change yourself to love the topic...no other way around......or take treedoflife suggestion and join UniA....then leave when you get offer from UniB...

Hi forum friends,

I need your advice on this one. I am applying for postdoc position in multiple places, mainly the advertised positions for last few months and got several interviews.....Now, my previous boss under whom i did masters says, ''It is difficult to follow up with deadlines of your letters, i would like to send all reco letter together''............but i dont understand how is that possible..... each vacancy has their own deadlines and if i dont succeed in one of them i move to newly advertised one and they will ask for reco again...so that means if gave reco for a last month interview, he needs to give reco one for this month...i dont know what avacncy coming up next motnh or who will select me for interview.........I am bewildered with his comment......could you please give me some suggestion what to tell him...Thanks
