Because the executive summary (sometimes called an “abstract’) will be one of the first things a reviewer reads, make sure that it persuades her to continue reading your grant proposal and then delivers, quickly, the basics of what you are asking for. It is worth remembering that only one in ten proposals ever gets accepted. Also, grant reviewers read dozens of proposals during a day or a week.

Mercury Aquarius guys and gals really do think different. They connect random dots and are experimental like that. Sometimes it works and is brilliant.

Now, you could troll the Internet and/or Craigslist to find job leads yourself, but that is very time consuming and probably unnecessary, given what’s available on the Internet....
