I have a bs nuclear ms meche, been working thermal fluid analysis in aero industry 6 years. FEA+make my own tools.

Some experiences I’ve had in job searching:

I’ll be applying to a job that wants exactly what I have experience wise but they also need someone who’s exclusively worked on boilers for 7 years.

Trying to get into a nuclear hydraulics role, something I specialized in college and have the technical ability for but they need you to also know the exact industry specific tools they use as well.

The companies posting these jobs seems so picky you need the exact criteria for what they list even if the job is in my subspecialty let alone something adjacent like structures, CFD, mech design which seem impossible to land.
