Please anyone

lie on resume (.2-.3 GPA up), also mold each resume to job you apply for, and lie about volunteer work and job experience if possible but be prepared to explain what you "did"

Know your limits but abuse the system, good luck OP.

3.6 GPA
I already have volunteer experience for Doctors Without Borders and I already have 3 years of job experience while I was in university. My resume isn't the issue, I crafted it to perfection and tailored it for each job

It's my lack of who I know that's the problem. And I'm now 100% sure of it. No one responds to my requests to connect for a quick coffee/phone chat about themselves. I don't know what else to do and I'm crying hysterically every day from fear of being dead or a bum.

My threads on /adv/ never got relies either. I have no one

First of all, get some self worth because no job is going to fill that fucking hole.

What kind of jobs are you looking for? Why are you emailing people at universities, are you trying to get a lab job?

I've been left with no response for so many jobs, and the remaining few telling me that they already found someone and "will keep my resume on file" bullshit

>What kind of jobs are you looking for?
Not lab jobs. Anything involved as an entry level analyst at a HF, IB, Start up, tech company, media/tv company, pharma company, etc. I'm capable of analytics and quantitative results that I can translate to plain and great English. It's not like I'm a sperg

>Why are you emailing people at universities
I'm emailing professionals that already graduated from places like Cornell and NYU. People that are older than me essentially and are in places I'd like to work at. I email (or connect on LinkedIn) saying how I saw their profile and that I'd like to speak with them and hear more about them; either over the phone (provide my number) or over coffee. Obviously paraphrased. Haven't gotten any responses at all. It's not a good feeling at all.

not sure what you mean by "entry level analyst" since that's not really my field, sounds pretty vague. i know people always like to talk about how emailing people out of the blue for a "human connection" works but in my experience if you're not especially charismatic then it just comes off as either weird or like you're looking for a handout instead of going through the proper channels, i'd stick to normal job sites/applications

if your resume is strong, maybe the market for what you're looking for is just shit and you should look for another field or maybe the market is just shit where you are and you need to look elsewhere. you also mentioned the people you were contacting were from NYU and Cornell which are pretty respected schools so make sure your standards are realistic for an entry level person

>depending on an employer for a living wage
>not providing value and profiting from it
>expecting something to change because you send a few emails
Put your biochem shit to work, find what could be better in the biochem industry and make it happen. its seriously that easy.

seriously /biz/ its time to stop trying to rely on an employer to hand you your allowance every two weeks after giving them 40+ hours of your week to them. fuck that.

Muh STEM majors.

Start your own business. Seriously. Even if you go bankrupt 2 times the one success you have will make you more money than you would ever get as an employee for a comparable company.

Just think. There are people who make a living installing wiring for tv's, internet, cable etc. for old people. I've seen em.

bio is probably one of the worst fields right now.

Hey man, just read some more of your thread. The human connection thing is not gunna work through email. You need to call them if that's what you're going to do. How you go about it, well, that's a difficult thing, but maybe something like the following:

>Hi there, Professor Austerhousen, I'm a recent bio grad and read one of your papers [on whatever]. It really interested me, and I'd just like to ask you a few [actually interesting, non-sperg questions] about your [methodology, flaws you may have found] so that I can benefit myself in future research.

Worm your way into circles, and THEN ask for a job. You want to be smart enough to, firstly, make it seem as though you are not fishing for a job by asking the questions in the first place and, secondly, suck them off while wearing frilly lingerie and fucking yourself with your rolled up degree.

It's the only way. Anal too, but don't you dare make them use condoms.

Tons of STEM fields are shit right now by the sounds of it. I only know one STEM girl who got a job straight out of college, and that's because she took a research assistant position over the summer.

There are only so many positions to fill, and the STEM meme has filled them to the brim by now.

>>992566
I think this is true for a lot of things. STEM certainly but also other fields. Basically it used to be STEM = guaranteed job, and that drives people to go into STEM fields and balances the whole thing.

I'm a chemist myself, almost finished with my studies. We'll see how it goes.

self-worth only exists for what we can do for other people. That's how society works. So yeah, OP can feel like shit as much as he wants. It won't help and may actually make things worse, but it's perfectly logical to feel like garbage when you can't provide for others.

>Not lab jobs.
Is that not better than retail? I know the pay isn't much better but more money couldn't hurt until you find a more appropriate job.

>>992702
Lab jobs are not only farther than the place I currently work at; but also pays less. They treat stem majors like rats; abundant in numbers and with disdain.

>>992566
I couldn't agree more with you. I have studied petrochemical engineer and it's quite hard to find a job in a latin country because I don't have enough experience.

>>992388
This guy gets it. You need to find other source of self worth thats more real than a jerb.

>>992394
If you actually know all those things that you're talking about, why not do a little work for yourself before petroleum recovers. With your analytical background it wont be too hard to say - find out where you can buy stuff for cheap to sell it at a profit @ Ebay/Amazon/Etc...
