Five Common Mistakes Job Seekers Make
Most graduate job seekers miss out employment opportunities abroad not because they are unsuitable for the position but are not aware of the application and interview process of that particular country. Let us quickly find out the top five mistakes so that you don't miss the opportunity.
Little or No Research - Internationally, it is expected that you should do a bit of research about the organisation you want to join. One of the major problems Indian students particularly face is lack of understanding about the organisation which is interpreted as a lack of serious interest about the job.
Generic Cover Letter - A common mistake most Indian students make is not customising the cover letter and application. This projects an impression that applications are sent off generically or sent in mass.
Typos - Typographical or spelling errors are common among most Indian students. Mistakes in resume or cover letter are considered unprofessional.
Lack of Demonstration - Failure to demonstrate clearly the skills and knowledge areas by Indian students is a serious issue in the selection process.
Dog's Breakfast - Lack of presentation skills like unclear structure or too much unnecessary information makes it unimpressive.
These suggestions are not meant for Australia but anywhere in the globe. Next time when you apply for a job please keep these points in mind; you may possibly land up with the dream job.

FINAL YAER BIOTECHNOLOGY PROJECT IN RGCB
RAJIV GANDHI CENTRE FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY (RGCB) OFFERS SHORT TERM TRAINING PROGRAMS (BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS) FOR POST GRADUATE STUDENTS, SUMMER TRAINEES, ETC
The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) is an institute for advanced research, development and training in biotechnology.
As part of its commitment to human resource development, RGCB permits students from various academic institutions at the MSc, B.Tech, M.Phil and M.Tech level to carry out dissertation and project work in disciplines involving biotechnology and bioinformatics. During the past two years, RGCB has trained over 300 post-graduate students from various parts of the country. While this short-term/summer training satisfies a requirement for completing the Masters program for a large number of candidates, our intentions are also to provide these candidates with an exposure to an international quality biotechnology research environment.
RGCB does not offer this facility to BSc. or other undergraduate programs. Projects and dissertations may be for one month, 2 or 3 months and between 4 and 6 months. A service fee is charged from trainees to cover the costs of the training such as reagents, chemicals, enzymes, tissue culture requirements, molecular biology requirements, instrumentation, etc. The service fee structure for these programs is given below:
| Duration of Dissertation/Project | Fee (Rs.) |
| One month | 10,000 |
| Two or three months | 20,000 |
| Four to six months | 30,000 |
| Six months to one year | 50,000 |
Interested applicants may either contact the scientists directly and secure their consent or apply directly to the office of the Director, RGCB, who will allot students to laboratories based on vacancies or acceptance by concerned scientists. Applications can be submitted throughout the year but actual training will be subject to the number of vacancies available with each scientist. Allotment to individual scientists will therefore depend on their consent and spaces available with them. For further details, please contact the Public Relations Officer at the Office of the Director (info@rgcb.res.in or director@rgcb.res.in or at phone number +91 471 2347973).
Application forms can be downloaded from http://www.rgcb.res.in/admission.html. Completed applications endorsed by the Head of Department and Head of Institution should then be submitted to the Director, Rajiv Gandhi Centre For Biotechnology, Poojapura, Thycaud P.O, Thiruvananthapuram 695014. Applications must be submitted at least two months before the dates requested for training. Service fees may either be remitted as a crossed Demand draft payable to the Director, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram 695014 or remitted in cash at the administrative office. The Director will take the final decision on the training and placement. Applications can be rejected if the institute feels they are found unacceptable without assigning any reasons.

o A Ph.D. and post-doctoral experience from academic institutions with very strong reputations.
Study Directors – Minimum first degree, or equivalent, in Chemistry / Biochemistry / Pharmacology or related subject. Higher degree (MSc or PhD) also required. You must have at least five years experience in the pharmaceutical, or related industry (eg CRO) within metabolism and pharmacokinetics. This may be with laboratory animal studies but work with human radiolabelled studies would be an advantage. Preferably with one or two years experience as a Study Director or Principal Investigator. The preference is for experience with radiolabelled studies as opposed to purely bioanalysis. Experience working to GLP or other relevant quality standard is essential.
Analysts – educated to bachelors or masters level in chemistry / biochemistry / pharmacology or related subject. You must have at least two years experience in the pharmaceutical, or related industry (eg CRO) within metabolism, pharmacokinetics or HPLC bioanalysis. This may be with laboratory animal studies but work with human radiolabelled studies would be an advantage. Experience working to GLP or other relevant quality standard is essential.
