Hey Everyone,
A few of the schools I will be applying to really like research as an EC and it's something I enjoy doing. However, I have found it extremely difficult to find research. I go to a public university where there are about 300 people in each class, so finding research opportunities from professors are nonexistent. I have applied online for at least 20 different RA jobs at a local medical school, yet I don't get a single reply. When I showed my resume to my counselor, she said it looked good and that it's nearly impossible to get a RA job without some connection.
I have also tried emailing multiple lab managers with no response.
I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I signed up to be a test subject in a research study and I was thinking about asking if they have any opportunities.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
