Graduating Survival Kits

Here are some latex files that you may need toward your graduation:

  1. Job hunting--

    A. Cover-letter and the UMASS logo (eps file) : I leave out the details but you are welcome to email me so I can give you my cover letter for you reference how to write it (which also can be found in other places). Remember to change the stuff between #s.

    B. CV and the associated class file : This is my own CV, please edit accordingly :) Also remember to swap the section "Research Experience" with "Teaching Experience" when you apply for lecturer/instructor positions.

    C. Research Statement: Nothing fancy here, just regular plain text. However I add the following lines for the header:

    \pagestyle{myheadings}

    \newcommand{\newhead}[1]

    {\markboth{#1 \hfill}{#1 \hfill} }

    \begin{document}

    \newhead{Research Statement for C. Ngeow}

  2. UMASS Thesis : the tar file I receive from Dais, now is time to pass it to you.

    Here is a trick to put "Bibliography" into Table of Content:

    %\bibliography{umthsmpla}

    \begin{thebibliography}{}

    \addcontentsline{toc}{BackMatter}{\MakeUppercase{Bibliography}}

    \expandafter\ifx\csname natexlab\endcsname\relax\def\natexlab#1{#1}\fi

    \bibitem[Alcock et al., 1999]{alc99} Alcock, C., Allsman, R., Alves, D., et al., 1999...

** Please email me if you have any questions. **

GOOD LUCK!
