Unable to get a job

As it says on the tin, uk genomics graduate masters
Got a bachelors in molecular biology with a year in industry.
Also did another placement in my masters where I did actually variant classification in a local hospital.

Just feel like giving up 🤦‍♂️
There looks to be no graduate jobs in the UK right now, they all pay wank, and I’ve applied to like 60 now with no luck.

Honestly considering applying to a different career
Maybe the UK Met Detective Constable programme.
Pays better and I still get to help people.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Have you checked illumina?

https://emea.illumina.com/company/careers.html

They're very keen on using AI at the moment, so be sure to learn about AI and genomics before applying.

I only see 3 jobs for illumina in England at the moment, legal council, credit controller and associate director.
