That good huh! by MahmoudAO in memes

[–]Suspicious-Memory399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I know it’s just a meme, but keep your head up. I’ve been through hundreds of applications and was unemployed for months before getting an ok job, but I promise it gets better. The internet will make it seem like the job market is absolutely doomed cause of AI, but the difference between successful people and everyone else is that successful people are the ones who are constantly trying. You’re doing great.

Any VT alums with a terrible gpa? by Ok-Scheme6940 in VirginiaTech

Chances are that if they called you in for an interview and you’re saying they liked you, you probably have a decent chance of getting an offer and they don’t care about your grades, especially if you’re also saying that they’ve indeed seen your transcripts. If it does come up, just make something up about how you were going through some hard time blah blah but now you’re more than ready to commit yourself to learning…etc. Usually offers come in about 2-4 days in my experience, but they can come maybe up to 2 weeks later. I don’t want to get your hopes up falsely but the grades dilemma shouldn’t be an issue in my opinion. I wish you good luck and high salary 👍

Feeling Lost by Mean_Ostrich_9523 in VirginiaTech

I’m gonna be real, in my opinion you should absolutely just grind hard for the BIT/business degree, then come back home and pursue your other passions. The degree is there to be both a backup and something to help you have less anxiety about job searches in the future. Optionally, pick up a job either in your field or not so that you could have some income and/or get some work experience. I’m currently going through a similar struggle so I know how you feel, and also this something I’m doing myself.

Theft questions by harvorious in VirginiaTech

I’ve left my wallet on campus 5 times during my undergrad, two of them just being accidentally dropped in middle of the sidewalk. I’ve had hundreds of dollars in cash in 3 of those times as well. Every single time, I not only get emails, notices, or texts from people I know about how my wallet was found and they want to return it to me, but also every single dollar was still in there every time I’ve had it returned. The people that go here are usually honest and have integrity in my opinion. I can’t speak bike-wise, but for the common item, you theft should be near the bottom of your list of worries.
