I'm not even trying to be a professor anymore, I'm getting systematically rejected from the most basic software developer, finance or actuarial jobs (not OP and I'm still in my 20s btw).
well you may want to fix your grammar for starters. 'Bachelor in' 'Teacher Assistant'? Really?
Maybe remove English as a fluency, anon.
Also i would suggest redoing this whole CV.
The text is not in consistent alignment, the font and spacing is inconsistent, there are random commas, it looks dated and like it was made by a foreign person.
And I can't see your descriptions obviously, but they should focus on your achievements in each of these positions, rather than just describing 'what you were responsible for'
and fyi:
Work should be first. Research and Teaching Assistant sounds better than what you have currently.
Skills should be second
Education should be third
Awards should be fourth (unless they are work related)
I would suggest finding a free online template that looks a little more modern. and
look into some guides for making the content of your CV stronger.

- 'Coding skills' sounds awful
- Why did you but webdev shit next to your data science skills? This should be tailored to the place you are applying for
- Nobody cares about: latex, jupyter, html, css, jekyll and git
- either these are kinda useless or the knowledge of them is implied
now how does your cover letter look like and why did you apply through linkedIn rather then sending your application to the company itself?
It's a shit test. It's just designed to make you shit your pants in front of them. There is no good answer. It's the same as asking how much you want to get paid. The same as asking what your greatest weakness is. Most HR interview questions are like this, especially for the entry level candidates. They know you have the technical skills they're looking for and they know you're willing to work for slave-tier hours and wages. They want to see if you prepared for the interview and if you can hold composure when put on the spot.
This, but also, you should be prepared for it. You don't even have to lie that bad. Personal projects, hobbies, whatever. This assumes you haven't actually been completely wasting your neet time and have done Some Fricking Thing with your time. I tell them I've been baking and gardening heavily during my resume gap and that's been no trouble at all. In any case even if you have to lie outright, you know this kind of question is coming so there's really no excuse to not have an answer.
I got an interview at a place near me. Math/physics double major, applied at some biotech lab. They told me they'd get back to me and let me tour the lab but I'm not sure if that's a guarantee. Have been denied from most places I've applied to. Also I made this song / unfinished song
It's never too late, or maybe it is idk. I liked doing math and learning complex stuff so it clicked pretty well for me. I work in a research lab right now doing experimental physics so I'm not too unaccustomed to lab work. But biology labs are completely different. You should work as a data engineer or whatever the frick, I've applied to a bunch of those positions but nobody responded to me. I think most listings are scams but whatever.
Working in a lab is not as cool as it seems. I have been in two places. One was an aprenticeship, it had me signing and dating every single typo I made while writting. In this place there were really rude coworkers, the first months were horrible with a lot of information I had to keep in mind and get accustomed to all the procedures and how the place worked, I had to do extra hours to keep up with the tasks I was assigned and I was expected to organize my time to be able to do multiple analysis and tasks, for example I would start a procedure at 8:00, put a timer of one hour, start another procedure, at 9:00 stop what I'm doing to continue with the first, then a box arrives and i gotta recieve it, print papers, fill them, go store the box in a freezer, then continue what I was doing, while doing any procedure I have to print and fill it on real time while doing the task, look for archives and expiration dates, etc. It was extremelly stressful and I had to think of many things at once. Second place was some low tier factory where I had to be both in the lab and at the factory reviewing the production, I had to think of multiple things at the same time, be at different places, be aware of every single unexpected event that ocurred in production, try to communicate with the workers there and the maintenance guys, try to help, also remember everything that happened to write it later, use multiple apps and archives, and it was a rotative schedule which included any day of the week, and night shifts. In this second job I lasted one week.
Continuation:
The first one I got the oportunity because it was organized by the school. It was 35 min from home. The second one was 40 min from home working rotative shifts invluding any day and night shift. It is not easy to find work near, with good ocnditions, if you don't have experience, skill, or charisma. You imagine the job is a lonely calm one where you do your thing at your rythm while being entertained in a lab, but reality is so different. There are many places that are industrial, with noise, bad shifts, other people, communication, a lot of tasks, schedules, procedures, and you have to remember a lot of things and be attentive to many factors.
>working in a lab sucks because I had to keep track of multiple things at a time and remember how to do stuff
Man you wouldn't even make it as a line cook. This is why they require degrees, to filter out IQlets who can't handle a complex job.

Anon, I am a graduate in chemistry but also have a vocational training/associates in clinical lab. And I had good grades in college.
The problem is I have attention deficit disorder and hypersensitivity. But I still think laboratory jobs are not as nice as you would think from the outside. Some of them you can get accustomed to even if the first months are hard, some others are shit, and at the end you gotta hop from place to place to climb positions.

What country? Lab work in the US has been pretty much how I figured it would be, for me. You do have to remember how to do stuff and keep track of tasks but it's not that bad, plus you can use timers and notes and everything and they love you for your Documentation Skills. Working as a cook was definitely way, way worse.

Spain. Yes, I imagine being a cook is similar to working in a lab. Both require organization, adaptability and efficiency.
What do you do on your job?
My problem is that I have very bad working memory and lomg term memory, and also work badly under pressure or multitasking. So this makes me inapropiate for mamy jobs.
I think I could have get used to the first job if I had stayed there, but would have never achievw the same level as others. The constant stress of having to keep in mind the schedule and all the different paralel tasks was a bit too much tho.

Analytical chemistry, I basically process Samples in some Procedure, different ones depending on what exactly it is, then run it in HPLC/GCMS/ICPMS machine. I'm pretty much great with multitasking and under pressure though this is not that much pressure compared to other jobs. It's a good fit for me, I operate my off the clock daily life like this. I'm baking, cooking dinner, shitposting, texting hoes, gaming all in parallel and with precise time targets especially with the food stuff but even with the others. She took a half hour to text me back so I can finish this Balatro run and then I'll text back then I need to head upstairs and put the potatoes in my stew and drop the dinner rolls in the oven. Etc. Just built for it I guess.

damn why does every job have to be garbage. I hate my parents for forcing me into hell for 90 years
>b***h homie entry level position >phone interview >"good news! We want to bring you in in a week for an in person interview and then you still have to do drug test and background! Maybe you can start within a month!"
Black person i need a job last week, eat my ass
this is just how it works, even within a month is pretty fast. can easily go like >apply >hear back 2 months later >schedule phone interview 2 weeks after that >in person interview another 2 weeks >start date 2 months after that
If you need a job Now you needed to start looking 6 months ago or to take some mega wagie fast food tier shit just to get by. They will actually get you in fast
studying like a madman for a government job, got a lot done the past few days that i've been away from IQfy
i missed you guys too much though, but i'll try to limit myself to only showing up after at least 8-10h of studies
Losing hope tbh. I graduated with a CS degree last year. I'm starting to feel like I've learned nothing. All jobs are intimidating, my resume is pathetic, I'm terrified of interviews, I don't want to do any coding quizes to determine if I should get hired. I've been doing Leetcode but I'm still not confident. I've never been a confident person. I think I just want some dishwashing job at this point, I just want a couple hundred bucks to build a PC anyway. All I've learned during all this is that I don't particularly like myself.
I've had multiple garbage warehouse and fast food jobs and thats why I went back to college to get a computer degree. My only goal in life is to have a white collar office job. Dishwashing will suck. I'm also doing leetcode, I can't figure out any of them. but I made a google sheet to track them.
Not too bad. Had an interview a couple weeks ago that I'm hoping to hear back from in the next week. In the meantime I have another in-person interview which they called a "facility tour" which I consider promising for some reason next week too. I think the first place is a better fit for me but I can't just bank it all on that, I'm glad I kept looking since they're really dragging their feet at this point. I think I've been lucky, my city is having a lot of industrial growth especially in my field right now so I'm in the right place at the right time. The businesses are here but the local population of qualified individuals is not as overwhelming as it might be in cities with more established biotech environments.

My goal is 5 jobs per day. I did 0 today, 1 yesterday, 0 before that.
I managed to get a second round interview for a very promising job, and I self-sabotaged by wearing a t-shirt for the vid interview...
Every day i'm lazy and have no self-accountability
I fix stuff. I got lucky and met a rich b***h and accidentally got networked with people who are short on time but not money. With all the labor shortages, wait time for special snowflake parts, and obvious price gouging, simple repair work has become the new wild west.

How does it feel knowing all coding will be done by AI?
Adding some things next to
