This is it. The one you want. The dream job. I had my first interview in four years in spring, and for that reason I didn't think I stood a chance. But somehow you've got to make yourself proud, and be the best version of yourself; when there's a million blogs and books and tips on how to do that, it can feel a little overwhelming.

I'm in the communications and marketing field so I have no idea what the nuclear industry even looks like (I had to rewind twice to even catch what your job title will be, LOL) but I'm very excited to learn more!

Hi, Lucy. I discovered your videos a few weeks ago, and your messages have been very helpful. My PhD program starts in 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing your journey . The little bits of experience and wisdom you've shared will be valuable over the next few years.

Hi Lucy, could you share with us what were those transferable skills you had from studying Mars to Nuclear Waste Management? I am about to start my PhD soon and I hope to work on as much transferable skills as I can to avoid being stuck in an overspecialized rut.

@thomasp4902 4 жыл бұрын

Because they bury the waste underground in containers. It needs sorting into high and low level waste first but they'll get robots to do that :) You could just make your phD take a direction that leads you into a job field you want to work in.

Hey Lucy, I was wondering if I could ask you what is the appropriate academic title to use in applications (in English) for a scholarship. I am an Italian PhD student (lasting three years) in the field of Ancient History (translation and study of texts in Latin and ancient Greek) and in Italy my academic title is "Doctor". In an English-speaking academic environment, what would be the most appropriate title for a first-year PhD student in Humanities' field? Thank you P.S. Congratulations on the channel!

It might be better to approach your phD as a series of mini projects rather than one single PhD, that way you are less likely to have an incomplete project :)
