sigh
i’m graduating next may and feeling extremely anxious about the whole job thing. i don’t think i’m necessarily awful at interviews, but i’m fucking terrified of them. i’ve gone through several different rounds for internships and i’m just a sweaty, nervous mess no matter how much prep i do. i hate the fact that every round i meet with someone new and i have to re-pitch myself to them. i wish i could just sit down with an engineer and walk through a real-life problem with them. how did you guys go about getting your first industry-related job? am i just targeting the wrong companies?
honestly, i really appreciate this response. sometimes we just need a little kick in the gut to get going. i just made an account on indeed and started applying to some jobs that i might be qualified for. planning on doing this every day, even if it’s just one per day. looks like the most common response is to cast a wide net and just keep grinding until you land the job!
also, just thought i’d point out that this is a perfect example of why markdown is sick on a site like lemmy. it’s really nice to read the hierarchy of your thoughts :)
Remember - It’s about numbers. You can apply to a job in 30 seconds. Time it or risk wasting insane amounts of motivation
