Currently revamping my CV with the following resources:

#BecomingDrABA
1. Template - bit.ly/3xMK0J9
2. Pointers from @thesixwriter resume handbook - I love the inclusion of predicted grades.
Find it here bit.ly/3k4jyTv
3. Pointers from CV clinic with @jayanaman on pointers in 10 podcast hosted by @Edinam233. I loved breaking your skills into various sections.
Listen here: bit.ly/3rNPLml
4. Googled "Cement Concrete Researchers CV" to find the CV of researchers in my field to use as inspiration and also have a fair idea of some skills or knowledge to add to my repertoire.

Remember, there's a difference between academic and professional CVs, so have that in mind.

Why I like France as a study destination

If you have about 2,000 Ghana cedis or 123,771.78 naira or 263€ you can pay for your yearly not monthly tuition fees in France for a masters degree. It's possible to do a 1 year or 2 years masters.
2. Do you need IELTS? English speaking natives don't but then it depends on the university.

3. Food is so cheap.

4. The government offers free health insurance ( I think 60% coverage). There's a possibility to apply for 100% coverage.
5. Do I need to leave immediately after my program? There is a one year work permit to find a job after your program and during that period if you
don't have a job the government gives you money. This is termed "chomage". Google it

Things you should know about scholarships / admissions abroad

1. Fully funded scholarship is a very broad term. This may entail only tuition. What this means is that you need to figure out your living expenses. Others may cover tuition and a stipend for living expenses.
Based on the city you may be living in, this may be enough or not!

2. Research or teaching assistantship is like a job you are performing and you get paid for it. If your scholarship document doesn't state explicitly that you would have a tuition fee waiver,
then whatever is paid to you is what you use for your fees and expenses.

3. It's posible to have research/ teaching assistantships jobs in North America once you are a student in the university. So even if you don't get it during applying there are still other chances.

I used to get upset when people asked for things, I had already provided information to in my tweet! I later realised they were asking not because they were not reading but sometimes, they genuinely didn't know yet how to manoeuvre their way around Twitter.
It changed a lot for me and how I interact with others. It took me several years to find my footings on here. So I will keep on repeating the same information over and over again if my time would allow me.
It involves a lot of my time to create these resources so what's the essence of spending all this time and the people I created it for genuinely can't or don't know how to access it?
