    I did my masters in agriculture. I have tried research jobs or teaching jobs or even production related work towards what I specialized. I attended multiple interviews since 2022. I got selected for none. I also do the whole applying for jobs as you mention. They call back usually to ghost me further. I live in India.

      Same, India here. What’s painful, you know? Getting rejected from a crappy internship that pays you ₹2k-5k. And I spent around ₹20 lakhs for my education. And uneducated rapists get to be our elected representatives. This neo-liberal shit-hole failed us.

        I did my masters cause I had stipend from the university. People around me or anyone else just keep giving the most hollow shitty advice they can “You need a linkedin profile, Edit your resume, Just do a phd,”. At worst they just keep telling me that I’m wasting my time and doing nothing even though I keep trying interviews.

          I just deleted my LinkedIn profile a few months ago. It is the most useless, bat-shit platform, filled with patronizing assholes, mostly from, obviously, India, cuz our citizens are so fucking brain-dead, suckling on the neolib kool-aid.
