I'm in bio research and not programming. Moral of the story is to cold-email people who are friends of friends. I have never got a job through my CV/resume.

Current job I got via word of mouth and an email. My boss used professors he trusted and knew me to check I was okay.

Previous job I got from a friend mentioning I should ask them. I emailed them and they gave me a job.

Back before University I got two jobs in retail and fast food through my mum who worked as a bank teller and thus could ask if they were looking for work.



Are you the same ImaCake who once used to play Soldat, Minecraft also, cats?
