Hope that helps, Tennie http://vitae.ac.uk/researchers/1333/Managing-your-career.html http://vitae.ac.uk/researchers/1333/Managing-your-career.html Hi, visited your site as an unemployed post doc doing voluntary work cutting down trees, and am disappointed to find no help on getting into a research carer. I can't be the only one with 8 years of higher education and no job surely? I would appreciate any directions you can offer to a site which might be able to offer some advice and encouragement - surely all that training and experience can't be unwanted? http://vitae.ac.uk/researchers/1333/Managing-your-career.html
