I graduated in May with my associates degree, and sadly after applying a bit nothing, not even a reply email. I am convinced I am just unprepared for this industry, I will admit I don’t have a GitHub with 1 billion contributions, and a bunch of connections. but can I seriously get nothing. I can’t afford the 25K needed for my bachelors. I am honestly considering put in my applications to target or whatever and giving up.
For how long.
The environment is a bit different, but I got laid off during covid and it took me about 4 months to find a job. Probably 10-30 applications a day 5 days a week. I got maybe 7 interviews total.
End of the day you only need one company to offer you a job, and with IT you at least have the option of remote work
