I didn’t realize this is a thing, but #academics, did you know that you can hire help with your #admin? I used to joke I would make a better PI if I had an MBA, instead of a PhD in Ecology. Well, you can hire someone with MBA skills to help you with tasks you hate and generally suck at and it isn’t even that $$$!
For just $35/h, someone else can reformat your CV, reconcile your #budget statement, or fill in expense claims! Imagine the FREEDOM!
@girls_can @Haley_Sanderson_092018 have you tried it ?
@kenkoonwong @Haley_Sanderson_092018 yes. I got help with my CCV that needed updating. It’s a Canadian academic type of resume you need to submit for certain types of grants that is notoriously horrible. There’s a portal and millions of drop down menus. It saved my sanity to outsource. I caught some errors that got fixed very quickly. Will definitely use it again.
