Trying to find jobs that I qualify for that are part time and not (politics, government, or sales)

I am looking for jobs that are not political, governmental, or sales positions? It has to be part time as I am in university. Below is a list of my skills that I have acquired with my experience. I do not know what other jobs I qualify for.

Your resume is too long

put your experience first, then your education, and consolidate skills and abilities. you want it all to fit on one page

Agreed. You don’t need to repeat things if you do them at multiple jobs. Try to push it down to 1 page and also focus on tailoring it to job postings/listings Lots of dead space at the top as well. Design-wise you’re not utilizing space super efficiently.

yeah I'd recommend looking into some templates on microsoft word, there's some pretty good ones that would help streamline this a lot what's the job situation like at your university? when I was in college I worked a bunch of various jobs around campus; they're always super amenable to the student schedule

Thank y’all, but that wasn’t my question as this is a rough draft. I wanted to find what jobs I would qualify for

I’m not sure this is the place to ask that question.

I asked in #mfa-general if it was ok to ask here I can close it if y’all think it isn’t appropriate

It’s not that it isn’t okay it’s that I’m not sure a fashion forum full of strangers is the place to have a skill assessment. But maybe someone can chime in with some advice.

Do you have any idea where else I could go to get opinions on this?

Your school may have a counselor for this type of thing

If you're in school for bio I would seek out something related to that to get more experience in the field Asking teachers in your department for research or lab positions could be a fairly easy in Might not pay amazingly but the experience is definitely worth it

I've interviewed people for undergrad research positions in my bioengineering lab, which isn't far off of bio labs Depending on the lab's funding they may or may not be able to pay you, be sure to ask up front about that But yes you'll want to reach out directly to professors if that's what you're after

University doesn’t have many jobs available, not good at technology at all, and the jobs that are at my university go to younger people 18-22. I’m 27. Sure they can’t openly discriminate, but I have applied and not gotten them Not many jobs available at my university Very selective, I applied and didn’t get them

Ah I'm sorry to hear that

My university is large

Yeah can you start with an unpaid research position to build up a relationship with a prof then try and stay on for a funded position Clinical research assistants are always needed as well if you want to get into that side of things

You should check if your university has a "work study" system in place, the university sets aside money for people getting campus jobs (whether at a research lab or dining hall) and it makes you easier to employ because less of your paycheck comes out of the lab's grant funds
Sal
Sal16mo ago
You have a lot of communication skills that could help you in a clinical research assistant role and every large university is doing a shit ton of research

I’m, but again I applied for those. They go to younger students and are limited and competitive

Maybe something along the lines of being an administrative assistant or personal assistant

Jobs are pretty abundant in healthcare, which you could use your communication experience and bio degree towards. In my field (pharmacy) technicians make good money and are always needed In addition, any hospital or health center is likely hiring for entry level admin positions Your schools student health center could even be a good place to start
SammyRay
SammyRay16mo ago
Yes, I have applied to those
Sal

Keep applying

I always do. I was just wondering about other positions

For what it's worth, I employ people with a work background that looks a bit like yours every year, but your resume needs some work. I want to know your actual skills, things you've done a lot of that you are really good at (proficient in phone communication is probably one I'd keep). There are things that recur in your 'experience' section you can pick up here. I don't care about your 'abilities', because it's an extension of skills - make these one section and cut out some of the fluff you currently have. Your experience section is pretty good but you can shorten it, cut out repetition, less detail in older roles with less responsibility, more in newer roles or where a responsibility is added. You probably don't need to list so much, and I would seperate out volunteer Vs paid roles. BUT I'm assuming you are early career, and looking to work in a different field after your study is over. Consider the trade off between using your experience to maybe (but probably not) get a little more money in the short term, it sounds like you need some cash. That's cool. Alternatively using your time now to still earn money but set you up with the kinds of experience you'll need in a career in bio sciences later down the line. Apply for everything you can find, this is a muscle you need to train

Sorry if I didn’t mention this, but this was a rough draft. I have finalized copy, but that has personal information including my real name, address, university, location, etc
