kareinaI have been saying that I don't want to begin a serious search for a post-doc or teaching position until after I have a good draft of my entire thesis. Today is a very good example of why. This morning's e-mail in reply to a casual enquiry I made a week or three back was encouraging enough that I lost a number of hours to playing with my CV rather than making progress on my thesis and I didn't get to doing any thesis-related work till after 19:00 (ok, so I did take a mid-day walk with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baronsnorri in there, but that was only a half an hour's distraction). Clearly I have a better chance of getting the thesis finished sooner if I'm not also engaged in a job search (but I knew that already, this just confirms what I already knew).
However, since then I've done several different sets of modelling calculations, none of which worked, but the manner in which they fail to work, and the patterns revealed provide me with useful information which which I hope to find some that do work. Perhaps tomorrow. Writing up a description of what I did today and the information gleaned took fully 862 words and one new figure (ok, so really four figures, I just gave them one figure number). It is now after midnight, and I think that it is high time thatclovis_t and I do our walk, our yogam and get to sleep!

Your CV
Date: 2008-08-07 05:37 am (UTC)You sure do have an impressive CV. I didn't understand a word of it! Tee hee. Actually, it looked good. I only have one question for you. You start out by saying PhD Candidate and 2005 to present. Does that mean that in the cover letter you will comment on when you will be a PhD and not a PhD candidate? Or is that something that is 'understood'? Will the CV be sent out before you have actually completed it, or after you are done? And therefore, require some changes in wording?
Love you
Mom
