Tips for application
I am an M.Tech student and I want to pursue a career in Bioinformatics. Initially I thought I will apply for a PhD abroad (UK/Germany/any other country in EU) and I will get a fully funded position and then I will pursue a career and everything would be sweet and daddy. I am sadly reporting that after a full year of cold emails, applications and conversation, I don't have anything and I thought after close to 600-700 cold emails and hundreds of applications, I would at least have something before graduation which is in coming June. Positive responses from UK and Germany have also done nothing for me because after these conversations, applications still doesn't get me to an interview stage.
I honestly am tired of this because I am simultaneously juggling projects and my thesis, and I am genuinely lost on what I should do. I didn't have any luck in GATE or CSIR-NET and that is my fault but I wanted to do PhD abroad anyway so I didn't care but now I feel like I am shooting too high. My goal was to get a paid position, preferably PhD or Job as a bioinformatician or a Computational biology related position in academia or industry by June but I have nothing as of yet...
Can people pls give me some tips, I am genuinely tired now and I think I need help with this.
