Like a lot of talk out there, I am a recent grad(May 2024) who’s spent the better part of a year sending out hundreds of applications without a single interview. When I was in school, I had to work full time in restaurants while taking classes to pay for living, so I couldn’t do an internship. I graduated with 3.0 and have several projects under my belt that I have on my resume but it just isn’t enough. I’m not even asking for some hot shot 100k/yr job. How am I supposed to break into the field when no one wants to give me a chance? Is there anything I can do get attention from employers? Certifications? Other projects?
I’ve written and rewritten my resume multiple times. Gotten it checked by peers and used even used chatGPT to help. 99% of job postings I find are requiring 3+ years of experience or some obscure technology that only that company uses. I’ve tried applying for things that are CS adjacent but nothing is sticking.
This is really doing a number on my mental and I can’t keep living like this tbh. I know I’m capable but how do I show these companies.
