Well, there's really no quick way for me to answer that that wouldn't just be some BS so here's the story of why I decided to go to grad school:mfb said:If plasmas and propulsion are such a strong interest as you describe then your CV leads to the question why your previous work and research experience were in completely different fields. Anything recent that made you interested in it?
A CV, or curriculum vitae, is a crucial document in the scientific field. It serves as a summary of your academic and professional background, highlighting your education, research experience, publications, and other relevant accomplishments. A well-written CV can greatly impact your chances of obtaining a job, research position, or grant in the scientific community.
A scientific CV should include your personal information, education and degrees, research experience, publications, presentations, awards and honors, professional memberships, and any other relevant information such as language skills or technical skills. It should also be tailored to the specific job or position you are applying for.
A scientific CV should typically be no longer than 2-3 pages. It is important to include all relevant information, but also to be concise and avoid unnecessary details. Employers and reviewers often have limited time to review CVs, so it is important to make a strong impression in a short amount of space.
References are not typically included on a scientific CV. Instead, you can provide a separate list of references upon request. However, it is important to have strong references who can speak to your qualifications and experiences.
Some common mistakes to avoid when writing a scientific CV include using a generic template, including irrelevant information, not tailoring the CV to the specific job or position, and not proofreading for errors. It is also important to highlight your achievements and experiences rather than simply listing your responsibilities.
