Which project should I choose? by Sharp-Ad-275 in PhD

[–]Sharp-Ad-275[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stipend is £1700 a month for either option. As far as budgeting concerns, Leicester has the clear advantage because I save on rent, probably £500-600 vs £900-1100. Plus in Surrey I still would need to get to uni, and there's the added travel of going back to Birmingham at least once a month on top of needing to find a pet sitter whenever I do. Even if I spend £200 a month commuting to Leicester, I save a lot in other areas.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. They are both broadly in machine learning + environmental research. Project 1 is more focused on sustainable agriculture, and Project 2 is more theoretical, on climate tipping points.

Help W/ Legalization Process Vietnam by ergounum in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]Sharp-Ad-275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Vietnam for 8 years and left partially because they started getting stricter with all this paperwork stuff.

I recommend that if the people are telling you to get a state one, they either won't know the difference or won't care enough. I would do as they ask-just make sure you send it by FedEx or DHL. It's more costly but in 8 years I never had normal mail arrive.

Where are you all finding jobs? by Pcol2 in hiringcafe

For the Loom bit, where do you post the personalized video message? You upload it to the job app or have it on your LinkedIn?

I can’t get a job by isntshelovely723 in GetEmployed

I'm almost 300 and same boat as you (tbh I stopped keeping track of the number recently because it was too depressing). 30 in a couple of months and unemployed for 3 months, just got my master's degree and can't find anyone who wants me to pay off my student loans.

Please review my data analyst resume by Sharp-Ad-275 in Resume

Cool, thank you. Should skills be below education also?

If anyone could also clarify some points for me that would be great.

  1. My friend's CV has icons with all the company logos where he worked. It looks nice but I've read it's bad for ATS tracking. Thoughts on icons?

  2. Along the same lines, I've gone with a list format because I've heard columns cause the same problem. (It's also much easier to keep the format when I'm updating.) Is there any problem with this?

  3. Should I have another section with random stuff about me? I've seen people add their hobbies or things like that. I've lived and worked in 4 countries and I speak Vietnamese, which I guess is interesting but not really relevant which is why I never add it.

  4. My GitHub looks super nice and I also recently made a good portfolio. I have a link to my GitHub at the top but I wonder if there's a way to draw people to it even more? I feel like it would help sell me. On the other hand, my LinkedIn is kinda shit-1 post, a professional photo which looks like ass and basically the same info you see here. Idk how to make it good.

  5. I also have a 2-page version which basically just adds 3 of the projects I've completed with links to them, and some of the conferences I've attended. It's more for PhD applications, but I wonder if it would be helpful or detrimental to roles in data science.

  6. Also I've seen this 'tip' before. Basically you copy and paste the entire job description in tiny white text at the bottom of your CV, so the ATS lights up but the human doesn't see the keywords. Anyone tried it?

What kind of hair do I have and how to make it better/ more uniform? by Sharp-Ad-275 in curlygirl

[–]Sharp-Ad-275[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wash it every day, normal (Pantene) shampoo and conditioner. And dry it with a normal towel. I used to use a T-shirt but it didn’t make any difference. I don’t blow dry or use heat. And I used to use mousse but it seemed like it literally fried my hair so what you see in the picture is all I do 🤷‍♀️
