As someone hiring for her company— go through the official websites of going for chain stores or big brands. Indeed is great for smaller companies or restaurants but big brands don’t really use them

i recommend turning in a physical application, cover letter and your resume in person (dress professional) and then calling a couple business days later following up on your application, definitely shows an interest and the company will remember your face rather than just another online application!

Never a bad idea to start small, many people have to work their way up the ladder. Might suck initially but you’ll get there :)

Bachelors in science from Notre Dame. I worked 6 months in a hospital lab and about 2-3 years of assistance in science research

I LITERALLY couldn’t be asking for less. The only lower job would be doorman or janitor.

That’s legit, the good and bad news is that it’s probably not your qualifications then 🫠

But it is! See, the problem is that everyone and their mother has a college degree now. So in science, in order to stand out, one needs a doctorate +.
