Things to do while waiting for PhD viva voce

[alexandercarey1989]

Hi all,

I recently submitted PhD thesis for examination. I have applied to several jobs prior to submitting the thesis but got rejected by employers. The reason for rejection was because I am overqualified for the job position. I am wondering based on your experiences, what did you do while waiting for final verdict from examiners?

Well, you should re-read it, practice your presentation, and try to think of answers to potential objections. Think up questions that would be really hard for you to answer, and sketch out answers to them.

 

As for jobs... I don't know, and can't say much without knowing what kinds of jobs you were applying for. Apply for the kinds of jobs for which you will soon be qualified, I guess.
