HI everyone, I'm a 20-something student in the process of completing my Master's degree. Due to the pandemic, I wasn't able to afford continuing to live abroad and so I had to take a break from my course. I've been looking for jobs ever since - in startups and in labs (I was studying neuroscience).
I've been applying for all kinds of jobs as long as they're non-tech because I don't qualify. I totally understand my limitations - not having a developer or a programming background seriously reduces my chances of landing a job. I was still in training when I had to quit, so obviously my skillset is very specific to "lab" experience.
But a lot of labs aren't hiring people, so I'm left with few options. I also don't seem to qualify for customer care positions because I lack experience. My reasons for wanting a job are like many other people - I just want to get started somewhere and also be able to afford my monthly expenses. It's been 4 months since I started applying rigorously(expand to all kinds of jobs) and I'm running out of ideas and places to apply to. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips for me?
