Should I stop telling potential jobs that I'm going for a Master's Program in the fall?
I (F23) am a recent graduate (Bachelors in Biology) and I plan on going back to school in August for a Master's. In this in-between period of my life, I'm trying to find a job in my field (lab work specifically).
I've been telling potential employers about this plan, and I'm wondering if that is why I haven't been receiving any job offers (you know, aside from the current job market issues). While I thought I was promoting myself as a student that favors learning, I'm wondering if I've been unintentionally advertising myself as unreliable for long-term employment.
When my Master's program starts in August, I won't be able to stay at the job that I am employed with.
I have another interview on Tuesday for a lab position. Should I avoid mentioning my career goals? What should I be saying instead? I don't want to straight up lie, but I'd appreciate any advice that people can give me.
