#

I also got into a mid level role by having relevant experience

#

But I don’t have too many processes.

#

It’s just that one which ended last week and currently Google.

#

Have you tried targeting companies or networks?

#

That’s how I got my processes since I was getting rejected left and right otherwise

rose smelt
#

nope i have not tried targetting companies im not that familiar with the job search any tips/tricks would be of great help

pearl walrus
#

How many years do you have left for school?

#

I’m not the most successful, but I’ve been recruiting for a few years and have the experience.

#

I might have some tricks.

#

Do you have a niche or interest? Are you targeting startups or big tech?

rose smelt
#

this my last year in school mainly targeting big tech

#

i graduate in the spring

pearl walrus
#

Got it. Make sure to go to their events

#

And try to remove class projects as much as possible

rose smelt
#

i don’t have any class projects on my resume rn so i think im clear there but how do i find out abt upcoming events

pearl walrus
#

Does your school have any channels for career fairs?

#

Also, what are your interests?

#

Cs wise

#

Because one strategy might be to optimize for a specific area and connect with companies in that area that way.

#

Kinda what I did.

#

What happened to me is that I had basically 0 internships when graduating, but now have a mid-level offer at big tech and potentially another offer at Google.

#

Although, I got lucky for a lot of it, too.

rose smelt
#

im interested mainly full stack a little bit ml/ai but applied not like ml engineering

#

in particular web-based apps although i wouldnt mind exploring mobile since its always interested me

#

most of my experience suggests full stack too, im pretty well rounded

pearl walrus
#

I’m not a huge fan of full stack because it’s harder to stand out. It’s great to know, though.

#

Since they’re still important skills

#

And very applicable

pearl walrus
#

Ml/ai seems to be in a lot of demand, though

rose smelt
#

i like building end-end owning the entire process

pearl walrus
#

If it’s your passion, you should stick with it.
