Have a friend who is at an engineering PhD program. I'm trying to help shape her resume, but would love a second look from those that understand the differences in grad school recruiting.

Anyone able to speak with her for 30 min?

Phd is not in engineering so I won't be much help, but I'm super happy someone finally posted in this forum!

Haha thanks. I'm just trying to cast a wide net, this is probably an awesome community that needs a nudge to be active again.

Agree... But either this community isn't into social media or it is smaller than I thought...
