My undergrad Thesis is not focused on the field of Communication Engineering but I have ten years of experience in Communication Engineering as a Radio Frequency Engineer. I want to do MSc in Communication Engineering under Electrical Engineering, do I avoid mentioning my undergrad Thesis in my Personal statement and dwell more on my professional experience? Please reply
It was years ago and I didn't know any better, but I did the opposite of Tip #2. Could find a job at all for over a year, so went off to grad school for a PhD. Realized I didn't want to be a professor after all. Too much admin, management, begging for budget, very little actual science! But it open doors later, research, cutting edge science, world class product development, working in 3D graphics and computer science. Nothing directly related to my major, of course!
I'm in this spot right now, but the problem is I have no relevant experience. I favored graduating on time and committing to schoolwork over internships or jobs. I'm 30 now. I worked in the Air Force for 4 years and then was a Armored Truck driver after that. I ended up quitting the second position because I developed extremely bad psoriasis from the stress and there was a company merger that sent things to shit. So I go to school on my benefits. Get a BBA in MIS. Magna Cum Laude. Now, MONTH's after graduating, I can't find a job. I'm even wiling to move to a neighboring state. I'd work for fucking nothing pretty much, relatively speaking. You'd figure It would be easy to get a job being a vet with an honorable discharge, no criminal record, and a decent bachelor's degree. The best advice I'd give anyone young now is to go to trade school instead of college.
Humanities by its nature are all encompassing. One of the major theme of humanities is to mold an independent thinker. As such they are supposed to be capable to face any challenge as you doing.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,594 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I particularly liked your tips on crafting a compelling summary. It inspired me to infuse my personality into my LinkedIn profile while highlighting my professional strengths. The suggestion to add multimedia elements is brilliant - it'll definitely make my profile more engaging. I'll be applying these techniques right away to make my LinkedIn profile shine.
in sweden university is for free and I get paid to go to univ. Rather than stay home and apply to jobs that i get rejected all the time. I get depressed.
Hi! I am lawyer from Venezuela trying to get into an LLM in the USA. I have no one to ask for feedback in regards to my statement of purpose. If I could send it to you, so you could review it, it would mean the world to me.
ive given up on graduate job ages ago, its hard for me to find a regular job.... its even cost me my faith with God. ive been applying for normal jobs 7 months now and nothing :(
It’s been a year since I graduated and because of some family health issues I wasn’t able to take any internships during college. I was thinking about going back to grad school cause it wouldn’t be too expensive to try for other internships but I’m not sure what to do now tbh. I’m just tryna break into the industry.
I just graduated and I keep applying like a madman but so far I haven’t received any reply and I’m worried that it’s going to stay that way. I’m working part time right now in retail and I rent a house with my bf who graduated last year and got a job quickly in his field. I’m so worried that I won’t succeed and that I’ll have to find a full time minimum wage job just to pay my bills
You need money to start a business, I am a Masters graduate in theoretical physics from a russel group university (top university in the UK) trying so hard to get a job right now, I get a lot of interviews but no offers and I just need to make money so I can finance my business ideas and my web app launches. I literally i am so tired of interviewing and just getting no where because what it seems like my autism turns people off because i am not a social butterfly, but I am more capable than most people for the work i am applying for.
Here to say, i just graduated from graduate school with a Master’s in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Defended my thesis two months ago and I’m still without a job… and it’s 2023. I have a bad feeling the Job market is not going to get better any time soon. Wish I would of started working right out of Undergrad
I applied to more than 8 thousand jobs I want to leave the US since both remote and location telling me srew you or ghosting and 9 times out of 10 they never pick anyone but re post it, again 3 years wasted coming out of college as graphic designer, yes oh why wasn't I a god ( nurse,cfo) am in my last stand and almost 30, it feels like I live in the Weimar Republic. again I tired I really try yes competition which yea that reason killed 4 of my friends this was in the span of 2021 to this year, am in my last leg and I know even if I had so many bells and whistles in degrees at that point I be screen out of due to my age, I know a guy 40 has a computer science BA but spend so much getting that job that his age made him where he was so unemployable that hes now homeless and is snuffing from depression thanks to this wonderful hiring progress
Thanks so much for your video. I graduated July, 2021. Parents, friends, and relatives always ask me the useless question "what next". This is my freaking life peeps!!!leave me alone 😭😭. Sometimes i feel I so useless even after coming out top in my class. Sometimes I tear up and feel like a liability to everyone. Btw, thanks for this video again. After reading the comments i knew i wasn't alone in this. I love u guys.🥺🥺. Y'all are going have that dream job You've always wanted.
Very to the point. Would just add that if you don't have work experience as a fresh graduate, focus on your skillset, degree, language skills, relevant coursework and anything else you developed while at university. Basically focus on all the things that you already have. Good employers just want to see that you have the attitude and foundational skillset to develop your skills further at their company, not work experience.
