Still unemployed after graduating 3 months ago
I'll preface by saying I graduated with honors from a non-target in the Bay Area this past December. I had interviews at boutiques but things didn't pan out. Some were my fault not interviewing well but most were hiring others based on internal referrals.
Background: had a summer internship at a Fortune 500 company (top 10), worked operations internship at a on-demand delivery startup.
I've interviewed at a big tech company and some other firms but got dinged due to experience. I feel pretty stuck at this point. At this point I was thinking of doing one of those technical bootcamps and go the data science route instead of the corp fin, banking, strat route.
Can anyone provide recommendations? I'm spending a good amount of my days looking at jobs, but I'm going to start cold emailing and seeing what I can get on Linkedin
My advice would be to not give up applying for jobs. Eventually you will find a job.
Indeed, don't give up. The key is to remain consistently persistent- that job is just around the corner.
Don't enroll into a masters course or some other degree type course.
Echoing what others have said, don't give up. Finding a job isn't easy, you have to be persistent. When i graduated in '14, I applied to well over 100 places with no full time offer from anyone. Luckily the company I was interning with gave me a full time offer a little over 3 months after I graduated. See if your old supervisor can connect you with anyone who might lead you in the right direction. They have friends who probably work in industry
I have had the same issue... I went to a top 40 private university, played athletics, opened up a start up and sold it while in school.
I have not had one call back. The only responses I get are denial emails.
I have done everything, even flying to meet people just sole for networking. I cold emailed individuals from LinkedIn and all they say is they do not have anything for me.
It is very discouraging.... I think I might have to go start standing on a street corner pretty soon...
That sucks. What was your major?
Business management and legal studies...
