Just got another job interview! 2

Hells yes. I've been trying to find a job in my field (biology) for over a year. Two weeks ago I interviewed at a neuroscience lab that does studies on infants and children. They emailed me the day after the interview to set up a second interview; that happens next week.
Today I just got a voicemail from a lab that does microbiology research on genetics in parasitic protozoa. I'd probably choose this one if I were to get both jobs, it's more my style and fits the research work that I have done in the past.
Fuck yes, I think my luck with job hunting might be changing soon. And I'll finally get to do something with my degree.

Congrats man! I updates my resume last night and hope to get something that goes with my degree too, but I think that will be hard in this part of the world. I just need to make more money so I can save to move from here. Good luck to ya

Congrats man!
I've been trying to find a biology job for about a year now. 
It's the the point that I'm contemplating going for my masters in the meantime.

Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei, they are responsible for sleeping sickness and Chagas disease respectively.

If you don't have any experience like internships, you're pretty much fucked for a bio job. You're stuck applying to jobs where the job description says that "Education required: High school diploma, bachelors degree preferred." Luckily I was in a neuroscience lab for 2 years and a marine biology for 6 months. Shit's still tough though, even with experience jobs are really scarce.

goodluck man! its all in the preparation!
i just hate the behavioral questions they give you in an interview
"What was a time when you faced adversity?" its like how the fuck do i even answer that.
yeah brah this one time down at the clerb i was getting my swerve on, and the bouncer caught me snorting lines in the toilet, and hes like dont snort that shit and im like get fucked cunt and i racked and and then he broke down the door and kicked me out of the club FML
also, the problem i have with interviews is i dont strategize them well. i work out before all my main points i want to say, but i tend to just unload on the first question and throw out all my ammo, because im unsure whether i will get the right opportunity to throw out some of my main points in later questions. lol, and then i end up repeating the things ive already said to answer later questions. but i mean its tough and you gotta think quickly!

Yeah interviews kinda scare the shit out of me. I prepared like a motherfucker for the last interview, this one was an impromptu interview. I thought she called to schedule an interview, this ended up being a phone interview and I think I handled it well.
Luckily with the science jobs they really don't ask too much of the behavioral shit and I prepped for a week for those kind of questions. They ask about your experience, what you expect from the job, what you see happening in the future and then explain how their lab works. Not that bad of an interview process, just gotta be charismatic.

Thought you'd be working with Leishmania or Dictyostelium, but those are nice bugs aswell 
Hope you get the job
