I Have a Research Support System

On Wednesday morning, Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying came to Caiyi 216 together after their early exercise.

They found that Duan Yun was sitting at his desk staring at the computer screen with a bitter face.

Xu Qiu took the initiative to ask: "Brother Duan Yun, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey, don't mention it," Duan Yun sighed, and said, "Almost all the resumes submitted during this period have disappeared, and some companies even sent letters to notify me that I was rejected, but most companies didn't even notify me, and there has been no news. I only got into a small company in Shanghai for the round of interviews, and after a few days, I entered their 'reserve talent pool'."

Duan Yun lost his composure in a rare way: "Oh, who are you going to blame? I still don't like them."

Xu Qiu mourned for Duan Yun in his heart for a few seconds, and then said: "Maybe the invitation for the second round of interviews is on the way..."

Then, Xu Qiu tentatively suggested: "Why don't you take the route of selecting students and getting into the system? Just go back to your hometown of Taicheng... Or try to enter the university system after finishing a PhD?"

While operating the computer mouse, Duan Yun responded without raising his head: "I'm looking at the selection of students, and there is no document in Taicheng, so I don't know if there will be any this year, and it feels a little bit of a loss for a doctor to be selected. Then it’s better to go directly to the undergraduate course. As for the post-doc, let’s forget it, I’m already at this age, and I’m almost 35 after the post-doc, I’m old, I can’t afford it, and I don’t think scientific research is suitable for me.”

After a pause, Duan Yun continued: "I recently saw that Taicheng Vocational and Technical College is recruiting people. They are planning to form a 3D printing team. I just know something about this before, so I plan to submit a resume to try it out. , there is a settling fee of 40W, but it is bound to work for more than 5 years, which is a bit tangled."

"It's not bad, at least it's pretty close to home." Xu Qiu comforted.

Although he is not looking for a job now, but from the perspective of Duan Yun himself, he can also deeply understand the difficulty of job hunting for a doctor of older materials. Because of the majors of the four tiankengs, the employment opportunities are very narrow. If you enter the system, you will most likely change careers after graduation.

If you want to go back to your hometown, and your hometown is neither the first-line nor the new-line, there are not many positions to choose from. After all, a doctorate is so expensive, and the homework unit has the money to hire a doctorate. It is not good to recruit two undergraduates.

Moreover, the field of materials is not like doctors and lawyers. The older you are, the more popular you are. After you get a Ph.D. and cross a major, it is a newcomer. Not as good as a blank slate of undergraduates.

Of course, if you choose to stay in Shanghai and other first-tier cities, there are still many opportunities. After all, you are also a doctor of TOP5 universities. If you switch to other related fields to do research and development, as long as you lower your resume and salary standards, there are still many opportunities. Enterprises are willing to recruit.

You can't find jobs with a monthly salary of 15K or 20K, and you can always find jobs with a monthly salary of 10K or 8K.

It is not too difficult to get a monthly salary of 6K-8K for undergraduates who have just graduated from Shanghai Comprehensive University. If you spend your time studying for a Ph.

At this time, other members of the research team came to the office one after another. Tian Qing appeared at the door of 216, and said as soon as she entered, "Xu Qiu, when are you going to apply for a credit card?"

"I heard that it seems that students are not easy to apply for a credit card. Doesn't this thing require a stable job and income statement?" Xu Qiu raised doubts. He had never applied for a credit card before, and he didn't even have a Huabei To open it is just to have a general understanding of credit cards.

"The credit card of the Bank of Communications is very easy to apply for," Tian Qing explained in detail: "When I went to apply for it before, I said that I was a student, and then their staff asked me what school I was in, and I said it was Shanghai University. I showed my student ID card again, and they said it could be processed. Then I copied the ID card and filled out the form. After waiting for about a week, the process was completed. There are two credit accounts at home and abroad, and the amount of the domestic account is 15,000 soft Sister currency, the foreign account limit is 2,000 dollars, I guess it will be the same if you go to do it."

"Is that so." Xu Qiu thought for a moment, and understood.

The essence of a credit card is to use credit to advance money in the future. The student status of Shanghai Comprehensive University is a kind of credit endorsement. If the credit of 10,000 to 20,000 is issued to the students here, most of them can be recovered.

"Then let's do it today." After speaking, Xu Qiu turned to ask Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei for their opinions, and they both nodded in agreement.

"That's great. When applying for the card, remember that the recommender writes me. You can get points." Tian Qing said happily, and at the same time took out her Bank of Communications credit card from her wallet.

Xu Qiu took the card, and muttered in a low voice, "Why does it feel like Tian Qing, you are a pimp broker (qian)?"

"Ah, hello," Tian Qing pretended to be aggrieved, and said, "I'm obviously thinking of you, but I just get some points by the way, so the fat and water don't go to outsiders' fields."

After lunch, Xu Qiu and the three of them took their ID cards and student ID cards and rode bicycles to the branch of the Bank of Communications closest to the school.

The distance is not far, and they only rode for about a quarter of an hour to get there.

After arriving, the three of them were greeted by bank staff in suits and leather shoes, and showed their student ID cards and ID cards, indicating that they wanted to open credit cards for domestic and beautiful country accounts.

Sure enough, the bank staff didn't ask for any other materials, and asked the three of them to fill out the application form. The information they filled in was all kinds of personal information that they were about to fill out in the past few days.

After finally completing the filling, Xu Qiu and the others half-forcibly applied for a savings card of the Bank of Communications that was bound to a credit card. It is estimated that their bank employees have a quota quota, and they are very hard to sell.

Finally, all the procedures were completed, and the bank staff told them that they would be notified within fifteen working days to collect the card.

The overall process is roughly the same as what Tian Qing said, the steps are very simplified, and it feels like I can't wait to hand over the credit card directly to you so that you can spend in advance.

Credit cards are a stable business for banks. Although for consumers, repayment on time is interest-free, they will charge high fees from merchants.

At the same time, if consumers can't afford it, many will choose to pay it in installments. The interest rate of installments is not low, sometimes it looks very low, and the actual annualized interest rate often exceeds 10%.

And as long as the first installment is completed, there will be a second time...

Just like that and cheating, there is only a difference between zero times and N times.

Counting the time spent on the round trip, Xu Qiu and the others took less than an hour to complete the process.

For the three cards, the recommender wrote Tian Qing's card number, which should have provided her with a lot of points.

Xu Qiu didn't know what the points could be exchanged for, maybe how many pots?

In the next few days, Xu Qiu and the others continued to prepare other materials for the visa interview, and at the same time asked Tian Qing for some precautions during the interview.

Tian Qing introduced: "The place where the interview is done is the US Consulate, which has very strict security requirements, and many things are not allowed to be brought in. For example, umbrellas cannot be brought in, because the support rods inside are made of sharp metal, and the early And guns made out of umbrellas."

"Electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, metal objects such as keys and nail clippers, and devices that receive signals such as earplugs are also prohibited. Bags, including wallets, schoolbags, and briefcases, are all prohibited."

Xu Qiu asked curiously: "Then how do we bring the materials there, and we can't bring mobile phones, wallets, keys, etc., and we can't bring someone to help pick up things when everyone is interviewed."

"Don't worry," Tian Qing shook her head, and the old god said, "In China, there are very few things that can't be solved by money. Where there are business opportunities, there will be businessmen."

Xu Qiu suddenly had a realization: "Like the luggage held at the train station?!"

"That's right," Tian Qing nodded: "And their asking price for hosting is quite dark, and then the three of you can store your things together."

Han Jiaying suddenly interjected: "Then if they are lost, wouldn't all three of them be lost?"

Xu Qiu turned to look at the junior girl, and patted her on the head lightly: "Crow's mouth, quickly say bah bah bah."

Han Jiaying pouted weakly: "Well, bah bah bah bah..."

Xu Qiu continued the topic just now: "What about the documents, do you have to hold all of them in your hand when you sign the interview?"

Tian Qing responded: "It can be placed in a transparent file bag made entirely of plastic, and that's fine."

"That makes sense," Xu Qiu nodded and asked, "Then what materials do we need to prepare?"

"Let me give you a list." Tian Qing took out a document from the computer: "The necessary items are passport, US visa photo, DS-160 confirmation page, visa interview confirmation page, in addition, MRS is also required. Invitation letter, hotel reservation form, air ticket purchase voucher, personal resume, itinerary plan, student certificate issued by the school, business trip certificate issued by the school in English, etc..."

Han Jiaying shrank her neck suddenly: "What are you looking at me for..."

When the time came to Friday, Han Jiaying got the application form from the Foreign Affairs Office, which was filled with 27 stamps. At the same time, she also received a subsidy from the school.

Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying, and Wu Feifei each received $500, which was directly distributed in cash.

A total of fifteen brand-new 100-denomination knives, with a green face of Franklin printed on them.

In addition, the three of them also collected all the materials for the interview, among which Han Jiaying contributed a lot.

Most of the materials are not difficult to prepare. What is relatively troublesome is the school's English business trip certificate.

The issuance of this certificate requires the previously approved application form, together with the funding certificate issued by the research group, indicating that the trip abroad is for business.

The sponsorship certificate was drafted by Wu Feifei. She is good at this, so she manually coded out a template:

"Student Wu Feifei (student number..., passport number..., date of birth...) from the Department of Materials Science, Shanghai Comprehensive University plans to go to the beautiful country from April 1, 20xx to April 07, 20xx to perform official business in the conference (20xx MRS Spring Meeting). All expenses such as air tickets, accommodation, meals, miscellaneous expenses, and registration fees during the visit will be reimbursed by the school funding project (KBH20212xx). The visit expenses will be used in strict accordance with the national foreign exchange standards and the number of days approved by the school.”

Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying applied Wu Feifei's template. After asking Teacher Wei to sign, the junior girls took several documents together, first went to the Foreign Affairs Office to stamp, then to the Immigration Administration Office to stamp, and finally to the Principal's Office to stamp, and it was done successfully. Proof of business trip in English.

Before he knew it, a week passed, and Xu Qiu found that he didn't write many words in his articles this week, and was busy with moving the laboratory and going abroad.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is already considered relatively good in school.

Although he is busy, he is also busy with things that should be busy at this age.

If you leave the ivory tower of the campus, go back to work in your hometown, get married and have children, there will be a lot of miscellaneous things that will emerge: conflicts between parents, conflicts between parents and the other half, self Conflicts with the other half of the parents, entertainment between friends, bickering between colleagues and leaders, children causing trouble at school...

Of course, it may be painful and happy.

PS: Although there are two updates today, the number of words is 7500+.

PS2: The monthly pass is less than 100. The bowl has been set up. Please ask for the monthly pass. There are only 28 days in this month, not a few days...
