Still no job.

I have missed out on two science-adjacent jobs for being too enthusiastic about science, two industrial jobs for not having enough [industrial experience] and two academic jobs for I know not why, you expect academics to give you reasons?!

I am, to put it lightly, miffed.

It's like, I've deliberately gone for the entry level industrial jobs because I know I don't have industrial experience, jobs that don't ask for experience.

The science-adjacent jobs have gone with "you love science so much we're worried you'll hate the job" and they might have a point but a girl's got to eat, you know. (Don't worry, I have enough money for food and lodgings, the same quirk of the mind that makes me hoard things makes me hoard money.)

It's all just very frustrating!

for being too enthusiastic about science

What the actual fuck? Ugh. That's just daft.

My hand to God and no word of a lie on that one. I can sort of understand what they mean but you'd think they might think that there's a reason I'm looking for a non-academic, non-lab role.

Very frustrating indeed! Especially coming from a job that looked great but was a total mismatch. Good luck in the continuing hunt.

Onwards and upwards to York tomorrow :)
