Doctor_Strangelove Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey guys, would you put a summer research experience (an NSERC funded one) as a job or under research. I was working 40hrs/week and it felt like a job but in the end I did have my own project and I was doing research lol... oh and what would you guys put first aid training under formal education? or EC activities?

I think both ways are valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich21 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 On the OMSAS Sketch when you put in Employment info, it states: "Use the 'Verifiers' function to provide the name and location of your employer. Do not list research positions which are part of your graduate training or honours program. These should be listed under the Research section. NSERC summer studentship should be listed under the Awards section. " So, I just put mine under awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of ppl that are (according to this forum). So I ended up throwing mine in too. Vhat zee hay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamP Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I took out my first aid course from the sketch. It's pretty boring and I dont want to be forced to talk about it during the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor_Strangelove Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 " I took out my first aid course from the sketch.

"NSERC summer studentship should be listed under the Awards section" Yes that is true, but I think having a separate entry for what you actually did research on is also appropriate. What lost lamb said is what I've done for now, but still debating as to whether I should change the summer research from employment to research.

hkmedic Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 With regard to the First Aid course, was it because you were required to take it for something? I also thought about including First Aid, but because it was a requirement for one of my jobs, I decided to leave it out. It's like saying you took Driver's Ed.. For NSERC, I put it as research.

Doctor_Strangelove Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Na I wasn't required to take it... it's mostly something I wanted to learn in case of an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmedic Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Na I wasn't required to take it... it's mostly something I wanted to learn in case of an emergency. Ah, that's cool. Then you could definitely list it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Neill Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Would co-op placements be under research or job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor_Strangelove Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hmm tough one ONeill. If you were paid during your placement then I would list it as a job. If not... then research I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
