Good evening
Today I attended a workshop intended for Final year PhD student. My experience of this workshop is quite frankly scary. Scary in the sense that I now have to think about thesis - I have to start drafting documents, planning ahead and putting together something coherent for my supervisors within the next few months.
The workshop today was very useful. We went through the format of a Thesis and what to expect in a VIVA (along with a few urban myths about viva). We then had a very constructure Q & A discussions with a panel of experts who all had PhD and have returned 10-15 years later to tell us where they are and what they are doing now.
The afternoon session consist of how to look for a job, creating effective CV and covering letters.
Tomorrow will be interesting as we get to take part in 3 different assessment centre as part of the training programme. I hope this will prepare me for real life assessment centres to get a job in the future.
