No one else whom I consulted with during the past 8 months gave me as accurate assessment and invaluable suggestions as you provided.
ORCD Real Life Case Study 2 Problem: no calls for interview for job applications Intervention: critique of CV and letter Result: “ Thanks so much for having a career development session with me yesterday. To tell you the truth, I was a bit lost and depressed after getting no positive feedback from my job application, but now I have a clear idea about what to work on”
ORCD Real Life Case Study 3 Problem: too junior to write RO1 Intervention: discussed mentor/co-investigator compromise, followed by grant writing advice Result: RO1 submitted and funded “Thank you very much for your time and very helpful strategy advice”
ORCD Real Life Case Study 4 Problem: promotion/recognition of status Intervention: suggested a negotiation strategy with “PI/director” Result: “ He agreed that I put together a program and there should be a better title (such as director of XXXX) for me in his center. Thanks again for the time you spent with me and for your advice.”

I have never believed there is life after death... until now.”
