I graduated with a 3.85 GPA last year with a bachelors in biology/immunology. Top 4% of my class and I have been applying for jobs ever since. Most of the time I apply to jobs listed on Craigslist. These postings mainly require me to send an email with my CV and a coverletter and then they invite me for an interview. I tried the general way of applying through a companies website but haven't had any luck in landing an interview. Applying through craigslist seems to be much faster and almost every job I apply to I get an interview and then from there its either complete silence or rejection.
I'm so tired of interviews that I don't even get nervous at all. I can't judge my own interview skills but at every interview the panel seems to really appreciate me and show me their lab and say that I am strong candidate and I should hear back from them soon. Then I get an email that they found a better candidate or never hear back from them again. My CV is good and I'm assuming that's why I've been getting interviews but I'm not sure what I can do to change how my interview goes.
I'm from SF bayarea, CA and there are lots of research assistant/research associate positions open. Anyone else have any luck.
Has anyone tried temp agencies, or know of any?
I'd really appreciate anyones advice on landing a research assitant position. I'm taking a 2 year gap year and its almost been an entire year without a job after graduating. I've gone to 7 interviews and no luck.
Please help me!
