“At the job interview your qualification and degrees matter but on the job your abilities, effectiveness, and efficiency matter. On the basis of qualification on the paper one can get a job but not necessarily a person on the paper is the same person in action be, for a paper is written with a pen but a person with knowledge, experience, and wisdom.

“When you go to a job interview, nobody is really interested in your background, but on what you can actually do and how committed you are in applying disciple and self-control to learn, improve your results, and improve the relationships and communication inside the company where you work. Therefore, having a PhD but no capacity to empathize or work on new methodologies means nothing, which is why so many people with PhDs work as supermarket cashiers and bartenders, or can't even find a job. Prepare your Curriculum in such a way that anyone can see in the front page all the things you have done and studied on your own, and add to the information the topics you actually studied and can apply. Your employer doesn't care if you went to university for it or learned from a laptop while in pajamas during a Sunday morning. He cares about what you can do to improve his results. If he raises your salary after you make him rich, great, and if not, you can use that opportunity as leverage to a better opportunity with a much higher salary. But always remember that, as an employee, your purpose is not to get a salary but to make your boss rich. The salary is a bonus you get from that intention. If you want to become rich yourself, you have to start your own company and work as many hours as your boss did and employ people who aren't willing to make you rich because they only care about their own salary, people who in many cases have diplomas but can't do anything useful. You will be surprised with how many useless people there are in the world, which is why interviews can last weeks and months before someone is selected for a position.”

“UK professional astronomy worked differently from USA professional astronomy. When I told my UK employer I was going to work for another company, they did everything to help me transfer smoothly. When my USA employer found out I was leaving for another company, they took me into numerous surprise harassment meetings for my ‘voluntary’ resignation!”
