7 Reasons Computer Science Graduates Can't Land A Job

[@keziakandii]

My struggle are technical interviews… I forget what I learned in school and then they ask questions that throw me off guard

[@Mo-ne5sq]

I should’ve done an internship in my first 2 years but I’ll try do one this summer

[@HKOVENOM]

I've got a stutter.
I'm screwed.

[@splatbot8091]

lmao keep in mind all this is after you get the god awful hiring process where you send out 200 applications before even getting an interview.
Yes, this is from experience

[@techtoby_]

If you’re not making it to any interviews at all after 200 applications you need to revert to the points I made in the video and assess why your resume isn’t standing out compared to others

@@techtoby_ exactly this.
The basic of communication is knowing what people want/need and helping them towards that goal. And the same applies to CVs.
Getting interviews is a skill thing. Learning how to write is a skill that has huge ROI and doesn't take much time.

I am a CS student and I am currently on industrial placement at a big media company but my role doesn't involve coding just admin stuff and scrum meetings with the dev team. Do you think this experience will be helpful when applying for tech jobs after graduation? Also I plan to get AWS certified

[@techtoby_]

That’s better than nothing. Be proactive and ask to shadow the devs when they’re writing code to show you what they’re working on

Thanks for the reply

Put some effort into learning java as well.

You’re gonna have to put in extra time to code projects outside work. To get into software they wanna see your technical skills.
