The Polytechnic Society of Physics Students (PCPS) held the fall SPARK field school for students majoring in physics and engineering. This educational format allowed students to make new connections, lay the foundation for successfully implementing student research projects in a team of like-minded individuals, and enjoy some time outdoors.
School participants heard first-person accounts of the career trajectories of established professionals, learned about the challenges young scientists may face, and learned about the mistakes best avoided at the beginning of their professional journey.
Students practiced writing motivation letters and resumes, and also received practical advice on how to navigate the labor market and become the most attractive candidates for employment at knowledge-intensive companies.
It was a true boost of scientific inspiration. Without a doubt, the speakers, who generously shared their experiences, were the main guides to the world of knowledge.
