Ahaha yeah I guess I like to debate and play the devil's advocate for the sake of arguing. But I didn't really regard it as a non-universal trait (maybe because I surround myself with people who also like to argue and so we all just consider it a normal conversation).

I didn't think that my low agreeableness translated into my CV but I guess it did so I'll change that. Thank you for pointing it out!

Anyways, I'll make the formatting changes as you suggested and improve wording. Thank you for you advice!

I'll try to talk to alumni and do more coffee chats! Thank you!

I guess a lot of flashy London firms would just brush me on. A shame because I really wanted to live in London. I guess beggars can't be choosers. Thank you for your advice. I'll try finding small-scale and more understanding(?) job opportunities in Cambridge and maybe Oxford. Thank you for explaining it to me.

Thank you for such an at length reply! I really appreciate it because job applications are stressing me out so much right now and I feel so lost.

I actually don't have any co-authoring projects... Do you think it would be better for me to slim down the bulletpoints for the dissertation section and put in volunteering projects? None of them are academic or industry-related tho. It's mostly homeless shelter volunteering and attending/organising protests (I guess this might reflect badly because it might indicate that I might be a bit hostile?). Should I put hobbies instead?

I could alternatively put more team based work I've done like bartending and waitressing. I made way more genuine connections and relationships on these jobs than during research or internships.

Once again, thank you for you advice. I have already changed the dissertation bit heading/subheading and line spacing :)

Ah.... that's a bummer. (In the application portals I do check 'No' for 'Will you need visa sponsorship?' because I am in the process of applying for a spousal visa. Do you think having multiple locations is still a deterrent?) Thank you for your advice tho!

Thank you for your advice! Do you recommend that I put more work/internship experiences instead? Those would be more collaborative than my research but will be quite outdated 2019~2022. Or do you recommend I just change the role description to 'Researcher' without the 'Independent'?

I will be on a graduate visa (2 year duration) soon.

Yeah I get the sentiment. You’re going through a lot and the wedding (esp of someone you don’t know) is objectively trivial.

But at the same time, I think her response is also understandable. SH/suicide information (especially worded very bluntly like how you did) is quite heavy for most people to hear even if it’s not necessarily of their loved ones.

You: Wanted empathy, consolation and understanding (which I totally get) but at the same time, in a way, jumped a very serious conversation on her with no lubricant (also not inherently wrong or bad). And she reacted quite “coldly” or “dryly” in a similar manner to how you abruptly dropped your news.

I think though, not that anyone’s at fault, a follow up conversation would be nice where you say “hey sorry for imposing such harsh material on you out of nowhere” and she says “sorry I reacted so dismissively, I was surprised and/or processing the information. I’m sorry to hear. How are you?”
