Some times I feel like I end up running out of positions to apply to. I’m a software tester for embedded hardware, which feels pretty niche. And I write Python code to do automation.
Problem I have is that I want to either transition to Python Dev work (which seems only like AI related Data Science stuff) or stuff that requires security clearance.
I’ve got multiple job boards I frequent and sometimes it just feels like I keep finding jobs that are worse than where I currently am (and I can’t afford a pay reduction or loss of benefits) or grossly under qualified for.
I think I find about 2-5 jobs a week that match what I think I’m qualified for. But I’ve not gotten responses back except for automated ones saying “We automatically reviewed your resume and it doesn’t match what we want”. Which could be stuff like “We are only accepting people with expert experience in a specific programming language”, “we need someone whose expected salary is significantly less”, or any number of small issues I could assuage fears of if I talked to a person. (Or I feel like I could)
