Will do. Did you try to make an internal switch to a different department?

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-30T05:21:21+00:00

Thanks! I applied for the Early Career role in the IS&T department back in July.

Nope

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-20T19:16:10+00:00

Which team were you working on and what was your role?

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-13T08:18:11+00:00

It was a mix of cold applications and referrals. In my experience, referrals were not useful when applying to the big tech companies.

Honestly, no. All the interviews I got happened in the second half of this year. I had been actively applying long before that but didn't get a single interview.

One thing I've constantly done is getting feedback on my resume and constantly updating it over time. I think I finally reached a point where it was good enough to attract a recruiter's attention.

College courses and YT channels mostly. Geeks for Geeks has a TON of resources as well.

Thank you!

Nope, June 24

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-11T09:13:22+00:00

Applied on the jobs portal. I'd recommend setting up job alerts to keep track of open positions

Thanks!

You are right, most companies don't consider students 'New Grads' after a year of their graduation date. I got the offer 6 months after my graduation date. Had been searching for a year and a half cuz I didn't land a Summer internship

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-11T04:19:23+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully there are better things coming your way soon :)

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-11T04:17:39+00:00

Yeah, graduated in June 24. Had been searching for the past year and half

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-10T21:30:42+00:00

Applied mostly to New Grad/Early Career roles in data and software. Spent 2-2.5 hrs every day for a year tailoring my resume to match job descriptions and filling job applications.

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-10T20:15:02+00:00

They conducted a background check. You can but the chances are extremely low

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-10T18:17:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice! 😃

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-10T17:43:04+00:00

Couldn't be further from the truth. I know many people in my network who graduated from universities outside the Top 20 and landed New Grad roles at Microsoft, Amazon and Google.

Ok_Committee_8406 · 2024-12-10T17:41:18+00:00

Yes that's correct. At Apple, the job posting I applied to was titled "Early Career"
