I want to ask these questions to any current contract employees on this sub.

1. How did you all get the job?

2. What did your academic/professional background look like when you got the job offer?

3. Is there a real shot for a non-EU foreign national to land a contract role?

There are several open roles on the website that I am interested in and am qualified for. I am concerned that my online applications would go into the void like they often do here in the US. I am very new to this so I appreciate any tips that would help me land an interview.

Here is my background:

Master's degree in mechanical engineering with thesis

3 years of industry experience in R&D in various domains

No patents as of yet

Thank you in advance!
