Praise for Dave Jensen

A Note from a reader:

I am writing this in regard to the monthly "Tooling Up" series written by Dave Jensen at the Science Careers Website, http://www.sciencecareers.org.

I would like to congratulate Dave on the valuable resource he provides to the grad students, postdocs, and early career researchers  For students, who have inadequate career guidance support from their advisors/universities, this is a column which provides an invaluable resource on how to move to the next level in their career.

Personally, it helped me reflect on the choices I have after grad school, how to craft a good resumé for applying to industry jobs, how to go about my job search, and how to create the right mindset in the interviews. Recently, I was selected for a job which I really wanted, and I cannot over-emphasize how valuable Dave's articles were in preparing for this job. I also know a lot of students at my former university who have had similar experiences.

In conclusion, I would like to congratulate Dave and Science Careers on having such a positive effect on so many students/scientists, and I am very much looking forward to his articles in the future.

Thanks and regards,
Sonali
