My strong points are:
- I have a good working attitude. I have received 2 "Best Trainee" awards for 2 long Police courses.
My weak points are:
- I do not have relevant outside working experience
- My first degree is from Unsim (a less reputable university)
- I am not so young anymore.

The trick is to get going as soon as you can and prove your worth to your new employer. Once you become an asset to an organisation, your degree and certificates etc fade into the past. After that everything hinges on your experience, contacts, social skills and character.
P/s: There are 6000+ unemployed PhD holders in the USA.
