这两天跟老土兄又联系上了,很高兴,他还是一如既往的encouraging!
我在找工作上已乌龟爬了2-3年了。现在越来越frustrated.
基本情况:
Chemistry Ph.D., with strong background on analytical instrumentation, material characterization. 写和说,都可以。 毕业前,两个on-site interviews:Air-Products and another small bio-tech company in Boston. They went well and we were at the stage of talking about relation fee, etc. But my hu*****and got his job in Chicago, so we all moved to this area. 答辩时,肚子里已有了老二. OPT期间(也就是肚子越来越大时),有过两个on-site interviews: clinical chemist at Children's Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago; another, ely-Lily, a research related position. The first one turn me down with over-qualified comment and the second one was cut off by the funding freezing.
然后就是比较有波折的生老二,是个在怀孕6个月就开始进入“随时要生”状态的惊险过程。。。生时只有4磅多,护士定期来家访,看她是否长得好。。。所以 since Nov 2008 to Nov 2009 the whole year, I did not have time at all to look for job. During this period of time, my OPT expired, I started to be the "dependent" of my hu*****and. 2010,我们开始找房子,买房子,搬家,这修修,那补补。 2011,孩子们开始完全自己带(从前,断断续续,有老人帮着)。 夏天开始去daycare for the mornings (half day. This is pretty much we can afford). 我又开始乌龟爬了,有个Abraxis on-site interview, analytical scientist, but soon 他们又和另一个公司合并,乱得很,招人的事就先不管了。。。我吊了一阵,也死心了,又开始找。。。找呀找呀找工作,还是没找到!
唉,看着您都烦吧! 我这乌龟不知何时才能爬到“工作点”?
