AI Thread Summary
When applying for research positions, prioritize your education before your experiences, especially if your academic background is stronger than your practical experiences. If your relevant experiences are limited to tutoring, programming, and high school labs, placing education first can highlight your qualifications more effectively. Additionally, seeking feedback from someone with more experience can provide valuable insights into your application structure.

For applying for researching should I put education, interests, and awards after or before my experiences? I'm asking mainly because I don't really have good experiences yet. The only thing I have is tutoring, programming, and labs which were done in high school.

Thank you!

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
