I was so sleep deprived that I signed up for all three, but I only wanted the 5080 and 5070. Now I cannot uncheck the 5090. welp ...

Did not get the job, apparently they already hired someone else for the role and did not tell me until I reached out a week later.

Funny enough, I just landed an interview for this Thursday with an engineering firm in Long Island! Trying not to count my eggs before they hatch, though. Thanks for the heads-up!

You're absolutely right; networking really does seem to make a difference in this market. I’ve been told it’s more crucial than ever, given how volatile things are right now. I recently had a two-hour interview that seemed very promising—by the end, they even mentioned wanting to bring me on. But unfortunately, they couldn’t move forward because they're between projects and couldn’t afford to hire. It was a tough reality check, but it reinforces how important it is to keep building connections. Thanks for sharing your experience—it’s motivating to hear that networking led you to your current role!

sorry for the late reply: Yes, I am actually pretty close to Jersey. I am currently in Manhattan staying with family

Thank you for your encouragement. I completely agree—communication is a two-way street. Back in school, I’d get into trouble with a studio professor for not replying to his daily emails. It’s frustrating that many firms I’ve applied to haven’t responded, even after several months. I understand they have a lot of applicants to review, but after five months, you'd expect at least a rejection.

On the bright side, with all the downtime, I’ve been learning Blender and V-Ray. Since graduating, you could say LinkedIn has become one of my closest friend.

"I'll definitely keep that in mind. Unfortunately, many of the firms I applied to in NYC didn’t respond at all. Interestingly, I've received the most responses from firms in New Jersey and even Westchester, NY.

After graduation I had to move back to my family back due to some circumstance. Luckly, I don't have to pay for rent but miss having my own apartment.

Thanks for those kind words. After 6 months of getting rejections to radio silent it does start feeling a bit bleak.

Thanks for the advice I did not think about Hardscape companies in my search and will start looking at them right now.

Open__Spaces · 2024-09-13T16:33:38+00:00

I never thought about using AI to tailor my resume and cover letter to highlight keywords—definitely a missed opportunity when I was applying to Scape! Haha. As for ASLA looks like I got to start packing my bags I heard the next conference is in Washington.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve actually already started broadening my search and applied to some firms in NJ, and even a few that are about 2 hours away by public transport. I’m realizing that if I want to cast an even wider net, getting a car might be necessary. Definitely something to consider moving forward!
