<br />
As Berkeley physics students, your skills are sought after by all kinds of employers. Some job titles held by physics students are<br />
* Research/Lab Assistant<br />
* High School Science Teacher<br />
* Technical Consultant<br />
* Hardware Engineer<br />
* Software Engineer<br />
* Data Scientist<br />
* Financial Analyst<br />
and many more. For example, take a look at the [[Media:2018Physics.pdf|Career Destination Survey responses]] collected from 2018 physics graduates.<br />

=== Physics Career Guide ===<br />
The [[Media:Physics_Career_Guide_2020.pdf|Physics Career Guide]] is a quite comprehensive summary of the types of opportunities as well as the resources available to help pursue them. (Much of the following sections is inspired by this guide!)<br />
<br />
=== The Career Center ===<br />
The [https://career.berkeley.edu/ UC Berkeley career center] is one of the most valuable resources when looking for jobs and internships. It offers a variety of services such as counseling appointments, resume writing workshops, employer information sessions, and career fairs.<br />
<br />
=== Handshake, LinkedIn, etc. ===<br />
These are platforms where you can search for job opportunities, showcase your resume to recruiters, and build your professional network. In particular, [https://app.joinhandshake.com/login/ Handshake] is linked to your university account, so your academic information such as year, major, and courses taken is made visible to recruiters. You can also find lots of Career Center resources on Handshake (making appointments, mock interviewing, RSVPing for events and workshops, etc.). When you've updated and polished your profiles on these platforms, don't be surprised when recruiters slide into your DM!</div>Ainihttps://sps.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Employment_Opportunities&diff=283Employment Opportunities2020-04-28T04:30:55Z<p>Aini: /* Handshake, LinkedIn, etc. */</p>

<br />
How do you get the most out of research at UC Berkeley, a world-renown hub for research of all types? This page contains tips for applying for research, as well as for succeeding in research. <br />
<br />
== Applying for Research ==<br />
# '''Decide what your research purpose is.''' Do you know exactly what you want to study? Or are you trying to determine what you want to study later on? Don't be afraid to reach out to opportunities in other departments as well!<br />
# '''Apply''': At Berkeley, there are many different resources to get research. <br />
## Attend an event, and meet a professor! (SFL, etc)<br />
## Cold Email<br />
## Connections (ask your friends!)<br />
## For summer opportunities, go to [[Summer Opportunities]]. <br />
## URAP<br />
# Remember, when you start you aren't expected to know much of anything.<br />
<br />
== Headline text ==<br />
* How do you talk with your PI/Graduate student? <br />
It's important to recognize that your PI/Graduate student is a person too! It can be intimidating but recognizing that they are also somebody interested in physics is key to mustering up the courage and sending that first email. And often times, you'll find that your PI/Graduate student is super friendly and open to your questions and concerns. <br />
<br />
* Keep a balanced lifestyle! <br />
Research is emphasized a lot here at Berkeley, but keeping a balanced lifestyle is important. Your PI/graduate student knows that you have classes and midterms, so don't be afraid to let them know when one week is busier than another. Research is just one part of your overall schedule here at Berkeley, so don't feel too pressured to devote all your time and energy into it.<br />
<br />
* When do you move on to the next group?<br />
If your current research position is not giving you what you want to gain from the experience, it may be time for you to move on. You may realize that perhaps condensed matter physics is not the sub-field for you, or perhaps the research group operates in a style that is not suited for you (e.g. a very hands off, large group). Talk around, with both your PI/graduate student/post-doc and with fellow physics majors. But in the end, it's a gut feeling!</div>Ainihttps://sps.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Undergraduate_Research&diff=230Undergraduate Research2020-04-25T08:19:36Z<p>Aini: /* Applying for Research */</p>
