I just graduated college this past April with a bachelor's in Computer Science. I didn't start actively applying to jobs until June because I was on vacation for a month.
I applied to jobs well into July. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to do and what my dream job would be. So I tried to apply for those type of jobs. I soon realized I dont yet have the experience needed to work in that field. Instead I started applying for software development positions. I edited and reviewed my resume several times trying different layouts and keywords in an attempt to pass the prescreening software step.
In the end, my two in person interviews were with companies I never applied to. They havld found me because I posted my resume online. The first one found my resume on Craigslist and the second through a job board like dice. I was accepted to both even without doing a coding challenge. In the end I went with my current company. ❤️
Don't feel discouraged if you aren't getting good results. I noticed it takes about a month before you get any response from some places. It's also helpful to try different resume styles and layouts. Remember 😉 in a software industry why wouldn't they use software to select a handful of candidates before they even land on a hiring manager's desk.
