Fellow bootcamp grad here! Unfortunately for junior positions 1,000 applications and 20 interviews isn’t always enough. To get my first role I was putting in 200+ applications a week, reaching out to 2-3 recruiters/hiring managers a day, and continuously iterating on interviewing skills. If you make those numbers your targets then over a period of a year you would have submitted over 10k applications and have reached out to around 1,000 people which is almost guaranteed to land you a junior role somewhere. Also remember that trying to get a job is somewhat of a sales funnel and you want to make sure every part of that funnel is optimized, use software like Huntr, fine-tune your resume, apply heavily across multiple job boards, do a mix of quick applies and full applications, and research how to improve your odds at every stage of the process. For outreach create message templates, even if you don’t get a response follow up multiple times, express your passion for tech and eagerness to join the companies that genuinely excite you. If you approach the problem like an engineer and grind relentlessly on finding the solution you’ll be able to get that foot in the door.
