1. Have something to grumble about? Use our Grumble Box!
Life is full of events! Every day something
happens to you and you react to what is happening
in a particular way. You might laugh, get excited,
get bored, get annoyed etc. In any case,
to be sure, now and then you feel the need to
grumble about what happened to you. From now
on, you do not have to look any further than
our Grumble Box.
The Grumble Box
is the place where you can let off steam
by letting others know what happened to you and explaining
why you are feeling a bit annoyed. It is also good for
getting a bit of support from other grumblers so
that you no longer feel like you are on your own with
your little problem.
You can get to
the Grumble Box
from your profile. Just follow the link "Grumbles".
It also shows in brackets how many grumbles you
have added to the Grumble Box. So, if you see
Grumbles(10) is someone's profile, it means
that the person has added 10 grumbles to the Grumble
Box.
OK, so, what are you waiting for? Think about what is
on your mind now and
add your first ever grumble to our Grumble Box.
And remember, every time you feel like
grumbling about something, all you need to
do is to
add a grumble to our Grumble Box!

3. Tips for scholarship advertisers
In this section, we would like to give
some tips to the academics,
who advertise their scholarships
in our scholarships database,
that can help to draw more
qualified attention to the
advertised positions.
Qualified attention means that your advert
should attract attention of the people, who may be
suitable for the vacancy, while not attracting
those who are definitely not. Here are our tips:
-
Do not give out any email addresses
in your advert
If you give out any email addresses
in your advert, you are on the sure
way to attract spammers instead of
qualified attention. So, never do it.
Users who get interested in your
advert and want get in touch with you
will send you a message
through our system. The system
makes sure that the message will
have the same subject as the subject
of your scholarship so that you will
never have to guess what the enquiry
is about.
-
Print out your advert and
put it on your office door
and school's blackboard
When your advert is ready,
you will be able to see
it in the scholarships
database. Next to it,
you will see a priner icon.
Use it to print out your
scholarship and put it
on your office door
as well as your school's
blackboard.
You are looking for a talent, right?
So, you do not want to miss it when
they pass your door. Catch bright
people's attention by pinning your
scholarship to your office door!
-
Make a very catchy title and subtitle
If you want to attract the best talent
in the world, you have to offer
the best research projects to work on.
Moreover, you have to be able to
provide a very catchy and concise
title for your project to make it
noticeable by the best talent.
To provide a catchy title for your project,
cast you mind back to the time when
you were a PhD student. You got excited
about a research project because it
promised to solve an exciting
problem. Now, return to your project
and think about the exciting problem
it is going to solve and write a title
that would have attracted you if
you were a PhD candidate now.
A good way to come up with a suitable
title is to look at other advetisers'
titles in
our scholarships database.
Make sure your title is the best and
you will be sure to attract qualified
interest.
Besides the title, also use the subtitle
to give a bit more explanation about your project.
Never just put a dash in it.
-
Do not make the scholarship description short
Students want to get as much info as possible
about the project you are offering before
getting in touch with you. So, do not be concise
when writing the project description. Instead,
be very detailed.
Providing a long project descrption is also
a good way of not getting lots of queries
from people who want to know the details
but turn out to be unsuitable for the project
in the end.
So, follow the advice and you will be able to
attract the best talent eager to do research with you.
