I have 8 papers published in journals and 3 of them were in Q1 journal. I guess I dont have problem when bringing my resume to table. I might graduate from local uni but my supervisor collaborated with overseas professor for our research. My degree was from overseas and I graduated with first class honor from western uni. I might not have problems when it comes to resume/CV qualification. All is there.

I see your wife also took more than 3 months to get a job. I only graduated last month and hoping I wont be unemployed for another month.

Thanks for your reply  biggrin.gif

PhD so what? gotta stop whining and use the right strategy to get the job u want.. nobody owes you a job just because you have the phd degree, and tonnes of publications under ur belt. look, if u have say a phd in locomotive transportation, do u think a finance-related company is gonna hire you? yes yes u have excellent pcr skills, molecular biologist with impeccable cloning technique, but if i am the hiring boss from a quantum nuclear-related company, what good can u bring to the company? be wise when looking for a PhD related job, look and screen carefully on the job requirement, and tailor each and individual of your resume and cover letter.

and btw, postdoc overseas (US in particular) suck balls, and the pay is extremely lowball with no job security, unless you have a clear mind on what u are trying to achieve, otherwise ditch this idea all together and venture into other paths
