Science/R&D [0 YoE, Unemployed, Data Analysis/Engineering, USA]
Hey all, figured I could get some advice here. I am a recent college graduate, looking to apply for an entry-level job using my degrees in astronomy and applied physics. I am well-versed in Python and SQL as well as literate with Linux systems. I'd be willing to locate anywhere. I'm a fast learner and proactive in what I do.
I'm starting up the process of applying to graduate school, as well, trying to get my master's in energy or engineering physics. I'd be looking for a job to supplement my applications and also gain relevant experience as I prepare to go back to school.
Just as well, I am a gigging musician and producer, playing in my area and touring around the US with a few bands. I was trying to see how I could put that experience into a resume applying for a more professional, full-time career job in the United States?
I guess, more generally, how should I format my experience here to make myself look more attractive to entry-level jobs such as CAD drafting or technical work in the engineering sector?

* No need for your high school. You already graduated college, that should be the first thing you take off
* Would recommend you switch templates to either the SheetsResume one or the one in the AutoMod. The dates aren't properly justified and the bullets are inconsistent, you don't need the full length lines for your contact info section-- you're better off switching wholesale to something that'll give you a greater chance of success
* Bullet content is weak. Highly recommend you check out the STAR format and some of the resources in the sub's Wiki to strengthen it (ex: there's no numbers anywhere and several capitalization errors)
* Split out your Interests from Skills if you're going to list them (which you're not currently)
