I recently did it, there is loads of stuff and guides on it online. Dedicate some time reading them and try to implement them while presenting your own skills. My cover letter ended up being a combination of multiple I found online, and everytime I read a phrase or sentence I liked, I rephrazed it for my own cover letter. Took me some time and it seems like a lot of work at first, but mine ended up being good enough for an invitation to an online interview next week. Best tip I can give you is to google "sample PhD cover letter for subject xy" and read through a bunch of them. The guides and tips are nice and all, but reading through an actual letter will give you a better understanding of what is required and once you got that, implement the guides while writing your own.
Thanks for the advices. The kindest people I met in life are Somali/Ethiopian - so humble, grateful, quite, full of sincerity when smiling... Ma'e salama from Bosnia
Thank you so much. I am aiming for a PhD in History, so obviously, many things are very different, but your channel is still super helpful when it comes to the things all PhD programs share.
I was offered to speak to the team and it was supposed to be organised in a week time. That meeting was also supposed to be the deciding factor of whether or not they will take me as the supervisor "liked me" as he said... and then I got ghosted on. Didn't even reply to my follow-up emails... Kind of unprofessional at this point in my opinion :/
I had my interview today. I feel I didn't do well for a number of reasons. I was asked if I had any questions and I said: At this point in time, No. Huh. Makes me really unhappy huh!
I was wondering if the professor has a lab website and the number of postdocs and PhDs is available there already, should I still ask these particular questions?
Could I ask what support they have for qualitative research? Also If I will have access to desk space I don’t need access to a lab or any of their facilities ?
Thanks dear. I have a couple of questions: 1. Par to taking the courses from the beginning should or better to make plan for Ph.D dissertation and write notes on daily basis or day by day. 2. Publishing papers 2 is enough for qualitative research. 3. During semester vacations what will be the best to do.
When you say "animal work" is that referring to experimenting & murdering animals to benefit humans? - that is totally unethical, immoral and abhorrent. In vitro work is the only thing I will consider doing but I would want to know the full history/origins of those cells before deciding.
