Applied for a few more jobs. Damn, I hate it when they don't just let you upload your CV as a file and instead make you type everything in by hand. Why would you even do that?

Today I got an email from my ex-boss, asking me when the deadline is for a reference letter he was supposed to write... for an institute I haven't applied to work at and didn't even know they were hiring. What the hell? If they want to hire me, you'd think they'd ask me to apply ( Read more... )

Just got out of my job interview. I've done all I could. I think they liked the talk, but I'm not sure if my answers to their questions were good enough. Anyway, nothing depends on me any more. All I can do is try not to panic. Happy holidays.

My presentation is as ready as it will ever be. Worrying won't make it any better. Tomorrow, for about forty minutes, early in the afternoon, my fate will be entirely in my hands. After that there will be nothing more for me to do. All I can do now is my best ( Read more... )

I got another email about the talk I'm supposed to give. And, yeah, it's basically a job interview, but they seem actually eager to hear about my research. Also, I've looked up some of their research and at there's a couple of papers that I really want to read. So I could try to stay in touch with them and write a paper together even if I don't get ( Read more... )

So I still want to go work abroad for a while. I've looked at some offers and found a few that looked interesting. So far I've applied for two jobs. I haven't got any news from one of the places yet, but the other one... I'm starting to think that I might have a chance ( Read more... )

On my way to a conference. Sharing a compartment with Professor T. And he's just told me that he he hasn't sent any refereces to England or Japan. I told him he has to send them before the deadline. He said he would. And now he tells me he waited for them to write to him first, because, yeah, I did show him on the websites that this is not how it ( Read more... )

So before going off on my great american roadtrip (pics later), I applied for jobs in a couple of places around the world ( Read more... )

Trying to apply for a position. Argh! Why does it have to be so complicated? At first the website told me I only needed a CV and a research statement. Do I need anything else? No, of course not! Okay. I can do that. Where do I put them? Well, it turns out you have to create a profile on their website. Which is, of course, a long and tedious process ( Read more... )

So... The interview... For now I only know that I have managed to make a good impression, but this doesn't guarantee anything, because a bunch of people did and most of the others are actual physicists. I may get the job, but maybe I won't. So what happens then? I need to apply for jobs at a few other places, just in case (Because I just know that ( Read more... )
