You have a degree, and a difficult one at that. If an employer can't see that you have the skills regardless to your "proper" degree, you likely don't want to work there.
Talk to recruiters as well, they can sometimes skip the bullshit.
You'll just have to tough through it until you get your first practical experience, then it likely won't ever cause you an issue again.
- mkirklions 8y agoYour right, I did have some success with a recruiter. And I also believe that if a process does not allow flexibility, they arent a company worth working for. Still looking for resume tips btw. But will be making more attempts through recruiters.
- justherefortart 8y agoFor a resume tip, all I have on mine are these sections Experience, Education, Skills, Detailed Experience, and Other Experience (foreign languages). For yours I'd order it based on what you're trying to sell, which are your skills. So Name / Contact info Skills (specific languages, environments, OSes, other tools/frameworks) Experience (list your projects here as well) Education just put something like: B.S. Chemistry University of Wherever UniTownHere Detailed Experience (elaborate like crazy since your resume isn't long) Other Experience (things you do that are interesting in your opinion) Oh, if you can also write a good generic cover letter you can update per application. This will show your good communication skills and show your desire to work in this industry, it's your chance to sell yourself. Be concise but let them know you'll give it your all to make both the company and yourself successful. Good luck! I'm sure it will work out.
