I loved being in the hiring process for our scientist position!, but I was concerned at the number of poorly written CVs and resumes that were sent through to us. So I thought I'd share a few quick pointers for I would consider a good application: 1/n #scientist #phdchat 1. The job title was "Scientist PCR" therefore I shouldn't need to search the document for the word PCR. Even if the candidate doesn't have tons of exp, it still helps to list exactly what you did. eg. what PCR extraction kit, DNA or RNA? sample types, qPCR, qRT-PCR, etc 2/n
