CV 구글에 "academic CV" 또는 "phd application CV"라고 검색하면 다양한 양식을 확인할 수 있고, 저 같은 경우는 다양한 대학에 컨택하면서 각 랩실에 소속되어 있는 학생들의 공개된 CV 양식을 가장 많이 참고하였습니다. CV를 만들 때 개인적으로 중요하다고 생각하는 것은 깔끔하고 가독성 좋은 양식과 action verb라고 생각합니다. 특히 action verb는 진행한 연구들에 대해 CV에서 설명할 때 중요한 것 같은데요. 이 역시 구글에 "CV action verb"라고 검색하시면 좋은 내용을 많이 확인하실 수 있습니다.
SOP SOP 작성할 때는 구글링도 많이 했지만, 네이버 블로그에 다양한 PhD SOP 글들을 참고했습니다. 따로 외부 업체에 검토는 안 받고, Grammarly랑 ChatGPT 활용해서 손 보았습니다.
참고가 되실까하여 제가 작성한 template을 공유합니다. 자세한 내용을 지우다 보니 약간 이해가 안되는 부분이 있을 수 있는 점 양해 부탁드리며, 잘 쓴 SOP는 아니니 문단별 구성만 참고하시고, 여러 SOP 예시도 함께 확인하는 것을 추천드립니다.
