Personal profile statement

I am a driven and dedicated Physicist with more than two years of progressive experience in the science and experimental field. I specialise in medical, radiation and nuclear physics, and data analysis. I address challenges by observation and assessing, then designing a solution, then evaluating before tackling the challenge itself. I have also developed a strong personal motivation to be able to work independently to achieve tasks as a result of actively designing experiments over a period of time. I am currently looking for a challenging role within the science sector, and I am able and willing to relocate to anywhere within the UK.

Tips

  • CV Length: Being an educated, high-skilled Physicist you could be tempted to list all your past projects, studies and experiments on your CV and make it five pages long! However, it is not recommended to increase the length of your CV beyond the two or three A4 pages. Instead, follow these guidelines to cut down the length of your CV; remove irrelevant jobs, qualifications and skills, use short sentences and bullet points instead of paragraphs and cut down on less-essential sections of your CV, including Personal Profile and Hobbies.

Good Luck!
