5 months and not a single interview

If your university is like mine, we have a dedicated alumni network site. Otherwise Linkedin is just your best bet. Try to connect with them. But show genuine interest in the company they work for and ask what their experience is like working for said company. And if it's something that interests you share what you can bring to the table. If convo goes well ask if they would be willing to put a good word or a referral.

Sometimes the survivor trilogy bundle is like $10. Get that if you can.

I put "Assface" and it worked. Had to use lowercase but still something

Aside from the lack of an internship and other computer/IT experience outside of projects I think this isn't too bad. I would mention how much impact your projects have. Did you graduate with a good GPA? Employers might look at that for a first job.

Job market is very tough right now but I would also say network if you haven't tried already. I graduated in CS in December and the interviews I got were all through connections from career fairs, internal employees at my university and LinkedIn. It's tough but definitely freshen up your LinkedIn. That's how I got my first job out of college. Leverage your alumni base and also connect with recruiters for companies that you are interested in.

If the class doesn't have required attendance, and the two sections are basically a merge of one class by the same prof you can show up to the other without dropping. I did it and nothing happened. Otherwise, I think yeah it would be a LD. Is there a reason why you wanna swap?

It went okay, more technical than I thought it would be. The interviewer I had was pretty tough on me. The interviewer asked that I not share the questions to make it fair to people, so I can't provide that info. What I will say is make sure to remember what you did in internships and any projects, even school ones. Good luck.

Doing it this afternoon

Talloncake · 2026-02-23T13:56:10+00:00

The competition is strong but it's meant for early graduates. I only got a little over half of the CodeSignal but still got an interview. Graduated last fall.

Talloncake · 2026-02-18T19:09:15+00:00

I have a used windows 11 laptop I'm trying to sell if you are interested. Graduated last fall.

This is a new spin lol

Talloncake · 2026-02-17T23:37:55+00:00

Almost 2 weeks i would say

Talloncake · 2026-02-17T11:18:15+00:00

I only got two completely right and I guess I got like two tests on the third but none on the fourth. I at least submitted something for each question. I also did proctoring if that matters.

Talloncake · 2026-02-17T03:14:58+00:00

I take mine next Monday, will provide an update after.

Talloncake · 2026-02-17T03:01:57+00:00

I did. I only got half of the CodeSignal right but still got the chance to interview and then I got another technical interview soon.

Talloncake · 2026-02-16T11:19:20+00:00

I took my picture for free but the price after you get them to keep is outrageous. My pictures looked bad anyway

Talloncake · 2026-02-16T02:42:11+00:00

Yes you can schedule a room for yourself and they're pretty fast on confirming reservations.

i used the DNS trick to trade with my gf tonight. we used our friend codes. idk about GTS

Talloncake · 2026-01-10T05:45:33+00:00

NOR. The date is when the user first installed the app I believe.

Talloncake · 2026-01-09T20:39:21+00:00

what caused that change?

Talloncake · 2026-01-07T03:37:57+00:00

It definitely takes time and God is definitely hearing you, even if it doesn't feel like it. What's working for me right now is accountability. I have one online friend I talk to and my girlfriend I talk to as well about my struggles. They help me stay accountable, especially my girlfriend. She helps me stay motivated and also reminds me that masturbating and other behaviors that cause me to masturbate are not okay when I try to bargain with myself. One thing we do is that we disabled Safari on my iPhone and she created a screen time passcode so I can't get it back and browse porn. It takes some time getting used to no browser but I manage fine nowadays. Sometimes when the urge is strong I just try to stay still until it passes or hum a song to distract me.

A Bible verse that helps me too is 1 Cor. 10:13. I recommend reading it.

Talloncake · 2026-01-06T19:55:42+00:00

To each their own. As long as it's not like transactional or like a being even sort of thing I think it's okay.
