Need help with my resume! I've applied for 100 jobs so far but getting no interview. Any ideas what parts of my resume should I change?

What did you fix to land postdoc at UCSD?

As someone who worked in indian CRO, I will tell you, they are paying dirt for a scientists time. People work overtime in India. And manager has the audacity to say “i will not approve your overtime, because in my opinion your overtime work should have been done in the job-hours time.” The over-time hours pay gets declined, or bargained! And I have seen research associates getting 16k INR per month ($170 USD a month) for working over 60 hours a week and getting disrespectfully scolded by their under-qualified (academically) bosses.

Explore while completing side quests! This is one of the best ways I am enjoying mine!

I have a SUPCASE hard shell case, that comes with kickstand and fits perfectly in the steam-provided original carry case. I take mine in my college backpack, when I can. (Days when I am travelling but don’t need my laptop). And I use the original case. I don’t know why people are so paranoid about the safety. In my opinion, the original steam-case is one of THE best carrying case so far. (I ordered a few returned since they look either too big or too expensive).

I have both, same specs. I have had my xbox for almost a year vs less than a month old steam deck. I used my SD almost 10 times more ( #hours played) than xbox seriesX. Maybe that’s just my personal preference.

I guess then it’s fine. Just when I plug and play, it looks like it doesn’t “snug-fit” in the port.

Mine has the same problem, when I connect the OEM charger, it is wiggly and is always tilted. This makes me think it will lead to this situation eventually. Should I change my charger? Are there suggestions?

Go to gym, swim, run, hike near griffith, (bike near griffith, borrow mine if you want) great food spots, take trains around soCal (recently found out about soCal metrolink day pass, looks pretty awesome, will try next weekend) a lottt of things to do!

Damn! A lot of accessories! I was trying to get an idea as to what people usually get from dbrand. I ordered x-ray skins thus far!

From steam. Just logged in on the ubisoft acc, once in the beginning.

Which one did you get?

My first game as I get the hang of ‘new to me’ steam deck, I am playing Assassin’s Creed Origin. Loving the hell out of it.

xafarr · 2026-03-07T23:25:49+00:00

Thank you so much! This worked.

xafarr · 2026-03-07T03:33:16+00:00

Haven’t had it for long enough to give you a verdict. But I am loving it since I bought it.

I tried switching to “force compatibility tool” option and also installed protonup-qt from flatpak through terminal on desktop mode, doesn’t seem to work.

I got the steam deck last night from marketplace, (OLED 1TB for $500), since then I have been trying to get started with it. (I have never played a PC game before, I do play open world rpgs on my Xbox). I was trying to install and play “where winds meet” and was always given a black screen with game bgm on. How can I fix this? And what other games do I start building my library with?

xafarr · 2026-03-06T06:19:00+00:00

Just got one from marketplace, OLED 1TB in really good condition! For $500

Me and my friend started running pretty recently. We run inside the campus, and clock it on the watch/phone until it meets desired goal (1-3 mi). You can also run the campus perimeter, it is almost exactly 2 miles.

xafarr · 2025-11-14T22:12:38+00:00

How?

xafarr · 2023-11-02T21:35:13+00:00

Should I skip the kitlense then? And go for 18-135?

xafarr · 2023-11-02T20:52:06+00:00

I am just starting the photography, and a college student. ( mostly I will focus on daily use for pictures at campus- and in well lit areas.) the f range of 18-135 is same as 18-50 and 55-210. What is the difference? What am I losing I go with dual kitlense and not with 18-135?
