How should I set my career portfolio to continue my research?

How should I set my career portfolio to continue my research?

I would love to discover a macroscopic fifth force beyond gravity based on my research in the Grand Unified Theory of Physics, but to support my family, I currently work in business and strategic planning for an education company.

Hello, Daniel !

This is a good question ! It's wonderful that you are gainfully employed and exploring a study and research of your other interest ! I would suggest that you connect with Seoul National University and Korea University and try to be affiliated with them in some way. See if you can participate in something there. In the meantime, if you want to do this independently, keep doing it without affiliation. You can check back with your previous university to see if they have anything for this for alumni, too.

As for a portfolio, I am not sure that scientists use a portfolio, rather a resume or CV and have study reports to back their projects up. Once you collect and document your findings, see if there may be anywhere that you can offer presentations of your study, such as secondary schools or colleges or scientific organizations. You can create a Data Portfolio on a website that you make for your own projects. I have left a link below to a website that will explain how to do this. So you can showcase all of your work on a website.

I hope that this is helpful and I wish you all the best in your continual research !

Hello Daniel,

Fantastic question! Given your desire to continue your research into a macroscopic fifth force, your career portfolio should align with this aspiration while also supporting your current financial obligations. To set your career portfolio to continue your research while balancing your work in business and strategic planning, you can structure it as follows:

1. Research Focus:
- Research Interests: Highlight your focus on discovering a macroscopic fifth force and your work in the Grand Unified Theory of Physics.
- Key Research Questions: Define the specific questions you're exploring, like "How could a fifth force be detected?" or "What experimental or theoretical frameworks support this?"
- Current Studies: If you're already conducting any personal or formal research, include ongoing experiments, collaborations, or academic papers you’re working on.

2. Skills and Knowledge:
- Technical Skills: Include skills such as advanced physics, mathematics, quantum mechanics, and theoretical physics.
- Transferable Skills: Highlight business and strategic planning skills like project management, data analysis, and leadership, as they can be valuable for managing research projects or collaborations.

3. Professional Experience:
- Current Role: Detail your work in business and strategic planning for an education company, focusing on how this role has enhanced your strategic thinking, communication, and organizational skills.
- Physics-related Experience: If you've worked on physics projects, research teams, or attended relevant conferences, include those experiences.

4. Education:
- Degrees: Highlight any degrees related to physics, business, or strategic planning.
- Self-study/Certifications: Mention any online courses, certifications, or self-directed studies related to physics or your research interests.

5. Networking and Mentorship:
- Collaboration Interests: Include a section on potential collaborations you're interested in, like partnerships with physicists, researchers, or universities.
- Mentors: If possible, mention any mentors guiding your physics research.

6. Personal Goals:
- Long-term Vision: Emphasize your goal of balancing your business career while actively contributing to physics research.
- Family and Personal Motivation: Acknowledge your family responsibilities as a driving force for maintaining a dual-focus portfolio.

By showcasing both your current business skills and your physics research, your portfolio will communicate a clear, multi-faceted career plan.

Best wishes!
