  • Working with the project team to conceptualise, develop, and prepare research papers for publication, with opportunities to lead papers emerging from the project.
  • Presenting research findings at conferences and seminars.
  • Assisting with the administrative management of the project and other tasks contributing to its successful completion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
