- cottonseed 12y agoThanks! Sorry for not using Google.
- tagben 12y agoProbably means different things to different people but, in my case, it means supervising someone and being responsible for appraisals and work direction. Hope that helps!
- kybernetikos 12y agoThe 'Explain your PhD' question is probably more about are you good at communicating difficult issues at an appropriate level or not rather than anything else. The right approach is mainly to be obviously enthusiastic and quickly work out what common ground you have with your audience in order to relate it to what they already know.
- cantankerous 12y agoThis. It's an important exercise to explain your work without using jargon to folks outside your field. Clearly your work is interesting if you spend your time doing it. Knowing how to relate this interest and enthusiasm to others is a really good skill to have regardless of whether you're industry bound or not.
- tagben 12y agoAbsolutely, good point.
