Graduate students are about to graduate, but it’s so hard to find a job! Does anyone have any experience? Please share your insights

Graduate students in chemistry are about to graduate, but they still don’t have a job. I browse websites every day and send out resumes one after another, yet I receive very few job offers. The interview invitations that came my way occasionally were also rejected for my own reasons. A female graduate from a biochemical engineering program switched to a chemistry program. She had no prior experience with experiments; although she prepared well before the interview and studied topics related to gas and liquid phases, etc., she was still rejected due to a lack of confidence in herself. The professional knowledge asked about was not answered well. It seems that practice is necessary in order to be able to adapt to specific situations on the fly. I’ve never done organic synthesis either; I’m ashamed. It’s a waste of time having studied for these years; I feel like a failure. I would like to ask everyone: what is the current market situation for those working in chemical sales? Can’t find a job; it’s frustrating.
No companies are willing to hire me, but I believe in my ability to work hard; it doesn’t matter if I have to start from the bottom
Bless the original poster. . My senior sister hasn’t found a job either. . Most engineering fields are indeed not very suitable for girls
Don’t worry, OP; keep looking and you’ll find it. I hope you can find the ideal job soon – being proactive is always a good thing
Same question :) :) :) :)
Girls can consider working in the field of chemical trading! Pay more attention to the job listings on the school’s employment website!
Actually, there are many ways to do it; for example, one can take the exam to become a civil servant. I have classmates from the chemistry department who became civil servants in the investigation unit, and it turned out to be a good choice for them.
There should be no problem in making the necessary preparations before the interview, especially since it’s a graduate student in this field! One should be more confident. Wishing the original poster to find a satisfactory job soon!
How’s your English? I think it’s better for girls to work in trading companies, specifically in the field of chemical trading!
My cousin studied tourism; someone helped her find a good company for her, but she refused and instead became a salesperson. She said she’s quite happy with her job. . Can’t understand women
Going to a chemical plant is also an option; if your boyfriend is also majoring in chemistry, you can go together, and that would solve the issue of finding work. If you really want to work in sales, then find a way on your own!
Working in synthesis is good – it pays well; if you find it too exhausting, consider working at a design institute
A woman studying chemical engineering – I think it’s a good choice to work in the field of inspection and analysis. The original poster mentioned that she has studied gas chromatography and liquid chromatography, and it’s great to have those skills. You’re just not very proficient yet; you need time to learn about their practical applications. Once you have mastered the skills, you can go to large companies specializing in testing such as PONY and CTI, or to reputable chemical companies to work as a laboratory technician! These are all quite good! Wish you success in finding a good job!
Graduation is approaching. Is unemployment still far away? Take it slow---------
If it’s a girl, I think it will be relatively harder to find a job; it’s a bit easier for boys. But as long as you’re excellent, have passed the CET-6 and CET-3, and have good academic grades, I think it should be possible
First, identify your own position accurately, then analyze market demand; by targeting things properly, there won’t be many problems!
Thank you all, and I wish you success in your studies and careers. It’s only when you actually start looking for a job that you realize how difficult it is. Actually, I’m not that bad, but work is so far away. Thank you all!
Bless the original poster! ! Most engineering fields are indeed not very suitable for girls; taking the civil service exam is a better option
:handshake :handshake :handshake :handshake
There’s nothing to do – it’s hard to find a job, and it’s even harder for women! I suggest the original poster take the civil service exam; then they will understand how happy it is to be a civil servant.
