If you can find anything Jane, I am all ears! But that avenue has been done to death now!

I am starting to feel worthless now with this all and I am just wondering why am I here - what have I done wrong?! All I want is a job and / or a PhD!

Hi Janine

Have you ever considered approaching a scientific temping/employment agency? They may be able to get you work opportunities that might otherwise not come up on your radar. Even if they were not 100% what you wanted to do, or they were only short term, it might get you reconnected with the lab world and open up other opportunities. Plus it means someone else would be doing the leg work for you.

Just a thought, anyway.

I have already registered for a few and nothing is coming up. I'm blocked either by this degree carry on or the experience side of things.

Did you register online, or have you actually spoken to someone? If the former, might be worth chasing someone up and speaking to someone in person to see whether there are any prospects or whether you need to tailor your CV differently for their market.

I wonder whether it might be worth going along to a general temping/employment agency, to see whether they could find you something. It might not be a science job, but it might be that there is a general job in a science area that might help you get your foot in the door/make contacts.

Got to met someone from AAA (local general temping agency) about getting something. I have spoken to people from CK Science. I have had help with the RSC (Not the royal Shakespeare company!) in getting science specific CVs. As I can only tailor CVs only so much due to a massive gaping hole in my CV, I can only do so much!

Thank you

Yes I do! I feel like a fish out of water as they changed the COSSH documentation and labelling as well

Hundreds, had an interview today and I actually managed to impress the interviewers! I know next to no stumbling in the interview I am amazed! Didn't get a job in microbiology! *sigh* I can't do voluntary experience in a lab as to be voluntary it needs to be a non profit making organisation. Still waiting to hear back on PhDs as well!

My specific field in endocannabinoid chemistry and / or neuroscience.

Don't get either the shop job or the lab assistant role. I am getting fed up now! I just want a job I can go to and stay in for a while, I don't want to take a crappy job as I know I will want to leave the job!

Just I am not getting a lot of breaks in my field. *sigh* There are times I wish I wasn't here 8** (

Attended the job interview in a shop and it is initially maternity leave and going on from there. When I go back online again after coming back. I get an interview for my alma mater as a lab assistant (term time) :D

Had about 3 interviews for my alma mater now. (RGU Aberdeen)
