03 academic interest有哪些(academic interest vs job preparation)

時之內，從好幾個同事那邊轉發過來，說：“我覺得這個申請人的背景比較適合你的研究組”。或者完全提不起興趣而刪除套磁信，到了中午，2、3個同事同時跑過來說：“我要了這個申請人!”

老兄，群發套磁信，也別給同一個系里面的人群發啊!第一種情況，傷害了老板的心啊;第二種呢，還想挑起內斗，玩個二桃殺三士么?

所以切記：套磁信，同一個大學不要同時套2個以上的老板。

2.) 不誠實，夸大成果。

一般你說了你發表了幾篇一般文章，老板也懶得去查細節;但是有人在CV 中說發表了3篇IEEE

TRANSACTIONS。眼睛一亮，看看他做的什么吧，結果找啊找啊找，什么也找不到。電話給他的導師，發現是投稿過3篇IEEE

TRANSACTIONS，都被拒了。

這樣的申請人啊，在學術圈估計真混不長。

3.)不回復老板的回信。

這個問題主要是中國申請人的。也許因為大家習慣了用QQ、買粉絲等，沒有意識到許多國外大學EMAIL才是官方的通訊渠道。

對感興趣的申請人，許多老板都會在看到套磁信后，馬上EMAIL回復。

我對感興趣的博士后申請人，經常在看到套磁信的2分鐘內就回復說，“本組現在沒有經費雇傭你為博士后，但是你如果想過來3個月做訪問學者，我還是可以提供支持的。”

結果許多申請人，如泥牛入海，完全沒有回響。即使你對我沒有興趣，哼唧一下表示禮貌，總不會累死吧!套磁信那么長都憋出來了，一句回復也能累死你?

其實，老板很少直接把不熟悉的人直接招為2、3年博士后的，一般是給2、3個月的RA或者訪問學者，試試看。

4.)套磁信完全沒有針對性，如果把套磁對象換個其他名字，這封信還可以使用。

先舉兩個博士后套磁信的例子：

===========================

===========================

整個信在內容、英文方面沒有明顯漏洞。但是呢，實際上效果不佳，因為：

a).

一般老板首先會看，這個套磁信和我有什么關系呢?你介紹了一通自己，我知道你很厲害，但是你熟悉我這個實驗室么?知道我這里是做什么的么?你的技能和知識對我的實驗室有什么幫助啊?通篇沒有提到和我有關的東西，為什么我要花時間看你的附件CV啊，刪除!

b). 博士生的話，可以提training

opportunity，本來博士就是一個訓練過程;但是博士后呢，老板一般是期望你召之即來、來之能戰，另外，為什么老板需要花錢雇傭你來HELP YOU

ADVANCE GREATLY或者IMPROVE YOURSELF呢?

c).

最后一個問題是，從老板的角度來講，找博士后其實是賣方市場，優秀博士畢業生旁邊經常就有老板求著說，到我這邊來做博士后吧，能量大的老板可能直接就給了tenure

track position。老板好不容易弄到的研究基金，當然希望能夠找到個高手博士后。即使你的水平就那么多，也不能做出begging狀，所以，要小心使用這個詞

if you can give/offer me a chance. 有水平的話，架子還是需要擺一擺的;水平不夠擺架子的話，也別低三下四。

其實，不論是博士生或者博士后申請，套磁可以很簡單直白的，特別是能夠做到對你套磁的老板的組比較熟悉，讓老板給你回信問細節，那就達到目的了。

來看2個正面的例子：

下面這封離開模板千里，但是我直接打電話問他的情況了，其中的一個關鍵是：他看了我研究組的網站，知道我的組做什么，賣點是什么。
