ttvidUID: 2512094

一个是UOA的....大年三十收到的...
信里说学校不回直接给MASTER奖, GA, TA之类的要等到学校了才能申请...
然后我就发邮件过去追问, 问出来一封很长的邮件....重点是说要我们自己找教授....(如有童鞋需要, 偶可以贴出来)

另外一个是雪城的, 大年初二收到的
信里没说奖的事....完全没提
等俺追问过去就说系里钱不够, 评奖要到三月一号.......貌似GRE占很大比重......好吧..估计我又没戏了....


希望同样拿到雪城的同学报个到, 顺便报下GRE分数...好让俺知道俺大致处于什么水平.....

========================================
Assistantships:

Information:

You will find three kinds of assistantships available thru the University of Arizona,

http://grad.arizona.edu/financia ... esources/employment

they are:

TA, graduate teaching assistantship (assist the professor in the class room)

RA, graduate research assistantship (assist the professor on a research project)

GA, graduate assistantship (work for a department or professor open only to graduate students)

Hiring Manual:  http://grad.arizona.edu/ta/hiring-manual


Applying for an assistantship is similar to applying for a job.

You need to search for an assistantship

You must be qualified for the assistantship

You submit a resume and speak to the hiring professor or department


How to apply:

You apply for an assistantship by sending an email and your resume to the person offering the assistantship.  You want to present yourself as the best match for the job.  However, you must be honest in the representation of yourself and your skills.

This is just like applying for a job, you will be interviewed along with other qualified candidates and the hiring person will make a selection and offer the position.


Suggestions on how to search for an assistantship:

As a new incoming student to find an assistantship I would suggest:

    * Networking with the seniors, as most of them will graduate in December vacating assistantships they are a good source of information
    * Research the MIS professors and the areas they are doing research in, introduce yourself and ask if they have any open assistantships
    * Come and get to know me, I will forward all assistantship position that I am aware of, I work very hard in trying to notify the MS MIS students of assistantship opportunities.
    * Go to other departments, most of our MS MIS students find assistantships outside of the MIS department.  I’ve had some at the Cancer center, the astronomy department, arid land studies, the University Medical hospital, the college of pharmacy, etc.
    * Look at the WildCat Job Link, this is an employment repository for UA students





Statistics:

**** I had 5 of 33 New students gain an assistantship this Fall 2008 and every Senior who wanted an assistantship had one (about 40 students)

**** Of the students searching for an assistantship this Spring 33 total only 6 do NOT have an assistantship.       As of today (27 have an assistantship)  1/23/09


Skills:

    *
    * The skills vary, but technical skills are very helpful.
    * Do you have database skills, programming skills especially Java, what about web-application skill, web designing or upgrade skills, etc.




While I can not guarantee an assistantship I do my best in aiding student in finding these opportunities.  It is rare to gain an assistantship before arriving and during your first semester in that the professors here do not know you, your work ethic, your skill set, etc.  However, for the last 2 Fall semesters we’ve had a handful of students who were hired in Assistantship positions. The MS MIS students find assistantships all over campus not just in the MIS department.


If you are interested in a research assistantship, I suggest you read about the different research work the MIS professors are doing, find an area where you have an interest or the skills to apply to one of the projects.  Then send an email to the professor, state your interest, speak about the work you’ve done (both undergrad projects and actual employment) attach a copy of your resume.  Stress the value that you will bring to the professor, the project.
