should I kill myself

Either larping or went to a shitty no-name bumfuck state university.

you need to be yourself harder

I went to a state university. Couldn't afford anywhere else.

Start your own business?

>should I kill myself
Yes pls

I'm considering it at this r8
Which weapon should I use?

Application tactics so far:

* Modifying resume for different positions
* Emailing devs directly
* Searching for new graduate positions / entry / junior positions

Get in touch with HR reps, they are usually the ones sent to collect inexperienced staff. I got into an easy interview once, by LinkedIn messaging the HR rep of a new firm.

Or, start as a tech grunt through a large contractor such as Go2IT, they will pay good wage but not many hours. Don't just email people, you will never get in that way!

apply out of state

yes, i'm serious

also, get cozy with your friends that do have a job. my first three jobs (two in college, one out of college) were because my friends who worked at those places were willing to speak up for me

the last two jobs i got applying blind, because after three jobs i had a really good resume

keep applying, retard. finding a job isn't easy, even when you meet all the requirements

I'll try that thanks.
I'm applying all throughout North America and Europe (I'm in the US).
I'm still applying but online applications are basically a black hole, even when I put keywords from the description on my resume to get past filtering. Been doing this for ~8 months now.

Go to an emerging market to sell yourself, not a saturated one.
I found a junior position after 2 days.

>Emailing devs directly
So you realized HR departments are full of idiots, like everywhere? :^)

What is your location?

im in a similar boat op, good luck. it seems like everyone already got jobs but me.

Unfortunately
Arizona
Nigga we gone make it one day.

man you are whining about not being able to find a job as a soon-to-be graduate from a university but i think you should be grateful that you were able to attend a university in the first place. a person like me has little to no chance of attending a university because my grades are bottom-of-the-barrel type of bad and my college entrance exams (I took the ACT) are mediocre, plus there is no way i would be able to afford that type of education without throwing myself down into a hole of money-debt. look im just trying to make you feel better by comparison, there are people in this world that want what you have but cannot get it.

They don’t care about your shitty fizzbuzz apps and your “internships” adding semicolons to JavaScript

You're not pulling your boot straps hard enough.

After graduating I did some shitty jobs for four fucking long years before that cushy $100k job. More than a few times I considered jumping off a bridge but having kids and elderly who depend on you made me continue living the misery with dead end jobs.

Now I make enough money not to worry about it, work with awesome people and enjoy travelling few times a month for work. Life's what you make of it. Sometimes shit happens but make the most of it.

Thanks for not giving up user. Those kids must be really grateful. They better be...

The average for finding a job is 6-8 months.

The user who suggested the nepotism route is unfortunately correct. Lots of positions get filled by people who have connections with someone aware of the vacancy. Doesn't need to be the hiring manager.

Your university should have a career services department. They desperately want to place you because they and the school are both measured on that. At the very least get them to review your resume.

As for the resume itself, as a CS major I'm sure you know the first step in the process is some HR person typing keywords in a search box. The keywords came from the hiring manager, and the HR person doesn't know what they mean. They just care if they are there. It sounds dumb, but you need to do SEO on your resume. Having a straight up keyword section at the end with all your languages, etc isn't a red flag. If anything it means you figured out the process.

With each year my jobs become easier.
