I recently graduated from FSU with a B.S. in biology. My last semester I’ve decided to pursue a career in Food Science. I didnt want to stay in undergrad for a couple more years so I graduated with my BS in biology instead of switching when I had only 2 more classes to graduate. I plan to go back to school in the New England area to get a Masters in Food Science. But right now I am looking a job, I would like to get something where I can still work in some corporation relating to food science near the Boston, MA or Providence, RI area.

I’ve been looking into research lab tech entry level positions…but nothing is biting. Am I going about it wrong since I’m not qualified? I’ve been just looking into research firms, universities, medical positions….anything that I can get some research under my wing.
Is looking online pointless? Should I not bother applying resumes online but calling and mailing them or try to see someone in person?

I tried applying to recruiters or head hunters with my resume hoping…all I’ve gotten in return in bankers or insurance companies wanting sales personal.

I love food and nutrition. I would ideally like to work in test kitchens one day or help in some form in the food industry.
Can anyone advise me on how to get my foot into the industry with only a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry…?

I know I’m asking a lot of questions…its just that I am so lost and loosing hope that I am not good enough. Any reply would be appreciated.

My thanks…
from a newbie in the working world
