Report on my first six months in a job (C1 CAE)

You have just completed six months in a new job. In preparation for a progress meeting, you have been asked to write a report to your manager.

Your report should explain what you feel you have achieved in the job so far, describe any problems you have had, and suggest any future training that would be suitable.

Write your report.

Report on my first six months as a reseacher in the atmospheric chemistry area in Standford university.

My progress and problems found so far

My first two weeks were really exhaustant, especially, because I had to get started with the most of the instrumentation involved in my research, though I have already known some of them, such as the sonic anemometer and the aethalometer, from my Master's Thesis. By the way, as for the last one, there have been strange measurements recently, so it could be better to use an automatic filter replacing system, instead of the daily and inaccurate manual replacement.

Once I got acquainted with all of them, I could settle down with the idea that my tutor had proposed to me. In fact, I have already filtered and analysed data collected from the reaction chamber and I found them very interesting to go ahead and writing a paper.

In regards my colleagues, I have to say that I have felt welcomed and supported since I started, what it made it really easy to get into this department.

In general terms, I have made a great progress in the learning curve during this important period.


Suggestions for the future
Finally, I would like to suggest a further training on how the atmospheric reaction chamber operate. I have already known all the intrumentation involved, however, I am not able to integrate them all for an experiment in the chamber by my own.

Conclusion
During the starting period in this job position I have been able to do a huge step forward my career as scientist, making me stay current of the techniques and devices used to work in this line of research.

Report on my first six months in athe job (C1 CAE)

Report on my first six months as a researcher in the atmospheric chemistry area inlabs of Standford university.

Maybe "department" could also work, but I don't know the internal structure so I went with "lab" as I assume you're doing research in one. If not, then that would not be the right term to use. Also, are you sure "Standford" is the correct spelling of your university? I didn't make changes on the off chance it is, but my first reaction was that you misspelled "Stanford".

My first two weeks were really exhaustanting, especially, because I had to get started with the using most of the instrumentation involved in my research, though I have already known some of them, such asam familiar with some of them from my Master's thesis, like the sonic anemometer and the aethalometer, from my Master's Thesis.

By the way, as for the last onAs an aside, there have been strange measurements recently, so it could on the aethalometer. It might be better to use an automatic filter replacing system, instead of the daily and inaccurate manual replacements.

Not sure what "the last one" is referring to, I took a guess at "aethalometer", so change that if it's wrong. You should specify a name here regardless.

Once I got acquainted with all of themthe instrumentation, I could settle down withand work on the idea that my tutor had proposed to me.

May not be exactly what you're trying to express.

In fact, I have already filtered and analyszed the data collected from the reaction chamber, and I found them very interesting to go ahead and, enough to start writing amy paper.

Not an academic, so might not have properly interpreted what you meant by "found them very interesting to go ahead and writing a paper". If you are not actually writing a paper on that data, then I have misunderstood.

In regards to my colleagues, I have tomust say that I have felt welcomed and supported since Ifrom the started, what itich made it really easy to get inadapt to this department.

In general termsOverall, I have made a great progress in the learning curve during this important period.

Not positive if "learning curve" is correctly used here so I left it alone.

Finally, I would like to suggest a further training on how the atmospheric reaction chamber operates.

No need to use "finally" here.

I have already known allEven though I am already familiar with the instrumentation involved, however, I am not able to integrate them all for an experiments in the chamber byon my own.

During the starting period inof this job position, I have been able to dotake a huge step forward in my career as scientist, making me stay current and stay up to date ofn the techniques and devices used towhen working in this line of research.

Use "job" or "position", but not both together.

Good luck with your research.
