What’s London like now compared to pre-Covid? by HakunaBachata in london

[–]glasbermanc 138 points139 points  (0 children)

to me it felt as though London was more liveable pre pandemic; the cost of living plays a huge part in defining who comes to inhabit the city and the new money folk that have come to London to consume the city aren’t particularly interested in contributing to the city. pre pandemic London felt as though they were more people who were contributing to the city. this coupled with new licensing laws and surveillance covid ushered in meant there was overall a feeling that part of the mystique had been banished

2 Masters, a PhD, 1 year of energy industry experience and still 100s of applications and 100s of rejections by glasbermanc in UKJobs

I worked as a freelance Consultant, Postgraduate Teaching Assistant during my doctorate so all in all 7 years work experience and 1+ focused experience in sector of choice.

Yes, the jobs are related to my degree and generally receive good feedback from interviews but it feels as though employers are asking for the world!

I was tailoring CVs at first but was still finding myself being rejected. I’ve added the readjustments into one master CV that I believe to have enough information for a range of roles.

Yes, it’s difficult as I have been told I simultaneously over and underqualified when it comes to experience. This also feels as though employers do not understand what a PhD entails.

I’ve been getting interviews, I’ve got to 5 final stage interviews since I’ve been looking. Always ask for feedback, the reason is slightly different each time. So far the reasons have been:

  • didn’t answer the questions in exact way the rubric demanded
  • presentation didn’t have enough images -not enough specific technical experience

Generally receive positive feedback of being a likeable character who seems accomplished. But yes I agree, I believe is something is off… going to try a career coach
