    Haha, thanks for those list of apps, nice job on those. You seem like a very hard-working and thoughtful person. Keep on keeping on, you'll get there, Melvin!!! FWIW, I'm 30 now, but I probably sent 150-200 failed job applications in my 20's, across 3 different job searches. I remember when I was your age, I just got a Biological Research undergrad degree, it was 2011 and the job market was still very poor...I simply could NOT find any work, I applied to over 50 research jobs and I only got 2 interviews, both of which I was passed over for more "experienced" candidates. It sucks, it really does, just set a daily or weekly "job app quota" for yourself...mine was low but I decided 1 job app per day, with customized cover letter and customized resume. I had a huge resume with ALL of my stuff on it, then for each job I'd trim out the least relevant stuff, then I'd throw that rezzie and a custom-written cover letter into a folder, so I'd then have those if a very similar-sounding job came up later.
