        Do you think there’s a correlation between those who process further up the academia tree; and those who enjoy masochism?

        PHD doesnt equate to a easy job find either, its pretty difficult if not very hard to do. in my state school i had department head reviewing 30+ prof/adjunts candidates in that semester alone. when i was going to research talks, one of them said the DR(who had come to our uni to give research talk about a subject he was doing) had written 40+ PAPERS before a employer was interested in hiring them. then theres the issue with that too, the quality of papers are dismal and then the profession itself.

      Message people in your field on LinkedIn who may have a possibility of hiring you. Applying for job postings does approximately nothing.

      just add x amount of experience to your degree, they look more into the bullsshit experience you faked(but they also likely wont verify your experience, unless you are incompetent than they start to question your resume), and most of the time they dont question it. assuming your degree is one field they will scrutinize. had a friend with MS in the science gave up searching, i dint do it either with just a undergrad. just add like 1 year experience to see if anyone bites, if nobody bites in a month, add another year(i think 2 year is when you see offer starts to come in.

      ALso some jobs may request LORs, fake them too.

      they tend to stay away from cv/resume with 1 or less years of experience, also they use software to automatically screen out certain keywords.
