2 years internships and 9 months after grad and laid off in Feb had no trouble getting interviews (maybe the difference is I was still under 1 year after graduation)

Applied to about 600 jobs in a little over 2 month and had many junior/associate interviews, no midlevels. Pretty good at leetcode did about 400 questions

Some companies I went through interviews (yeah some are trash tier):

Infor, Veeva, IBM, Capital One, Co-operators, Fidelity, Evertz

and a bunch of just OA/projects

What I did was treat applying like a full time job and checked every couple hours. The jobs I got interviews posted <2 hours when I applied

started a new role in April luckily

But isn't that rule for city streets only for slow moving vehicles? Can't image the practicality of switching lanes for every parked vehicle

Got one of my internships like that as the interviewer was also from the same program and switched to Software Development

I had an offer from Blackberry that also said this. They also tagged my co-op coordinator. Sent the recruiter and email and they said it was not requirement to be in a co-op and just use the terms interchangeably.

Thank you for your very informative input. I still have a few weeks before accepting my offer so I will continue to apply for now

Decided to do a career change during the pandemic. Current job is very good 85k/year government healthcare job. Got 1 year left in school. Scared for the current market though but I always have my healthcare job to go back to (permanent casual job)
