I'm simply saying that, for what parts of your experience you have chosen to share here, most are going to be glossed over by industry recruiters.

𓀐 @vCBjbHCU: As an employed chemistry grad the only advice I can give you is immediately pivot to a more applied sub-field when it comes to getting experience if you actually want to be employable at one point. The classic lab head/synthesis career is dead unless you want to spend a decade in academia and then maybe you might make it in something like drug design. With a Bachelor's and no other experiences there are only badly paid quality assurance/analytics jobs and in (chemical) industry engineering grad…+
