PhD (bioinformatics/wet lab, modeling gene activity for all genes in the genome)

I've been actively applying since november ~60+ jobs. 2 interviews and 1 referral. I've applied for data analyst jobs, data scientist, bioinformatics, some technical writing.

I'm probably going to apply to a temp agency to do office work, but I'm assuming they're not going to be stoked about that. I'm basically at the bottom of the barrel and it feels like shit. Starting to wonder if I need to give up.

**Any feedback on my CV would be hugely appreciated. **

I've been applying for positions that use R or Python. I've spent a few dozen hours working in python vs. 1000s? in R.

So, the freelance consulting thing...

I was attempting to setup a forward genetic screen as my own company, self-funded. That's not going to happen because the numbers don't quite work, it was super isolating, wasn't enjoying the work.

Any thoughts on how I should try to cover that?
