I wanted to add a footnote to the chapter title in my thesis. You might think this would work:

\chapter{blah \footnote{this is a footnote.}}

But it actually does not. I figured this out:

\chapter{blahprotectfootnote{this is a footnote.}}

But this also puts the footnote in the TOC. If this is not what you want, you might do this:

\chapter[blah]{blahprotectfootnote{this is a footnote.}}

我的背景：PhD in CS，擅長開發，不擅長research，有一些paper，都不太強，也不算特別差。對research缺乏激情，所以選擇工業界。如果你的背景相差太遠，有些東西可能不適用，但是很多還是相通的。偶運氣還可以，第一個on site interview就給了offer，所以更多的是經驗，不太有教訓。題目就叫effective job hunting吧。側重interview。
