How did you get your job, /g/?

Fellatio and letting my boss bang my wife.

Dear God, have mercy on us all...

>>57595460
Sent my CV. Went to the interview when they called.

>>57595460
Got my CS degree, went to a tech recruiter, they placed me same day.

>>57595474
this is the only reasonable answer

>>57595460
Why would an engineering job need a computer science degree?

>>57595460
Was in school and took an internship. Didn't go back to school. Honestly I don't see why anyone graduates anymore. I'm making decent money and saved myself years of tuition and fees.

I banged some guy's wife and the board members thought it showed initiative.

>>57595460
50% skill, 50% nepotism. Did not have completed education until year and some after I started working.

pretty comfy for a clusterfuck

>>57595460
I got an internship by applying to a shit ton of places while pursuing a CS degree. They liked me so I continued working there after graduating.

>>57595576
this except still no degree

>>57595475
we arent allowed to call ourselves software engineers now?

CIS degree, career services aide, had around a dozen interviews and applying over the course of 20 months, ain't got shit.

I hate the Midwest

Anywhere I could afford. I have no friends so it doesn't matter. Except California.

Taught myself web dev from scratch, got a job at the first place I applied to a month and a half later.

>>57596244
If they're hiring humanities degrees over you, then you must be shit.

>>57596328
>>57596348
Apparently the Psychology fags didn't feel satisfied after inventing Social Engineering.

Or they got mad that politicians and activists took those job positions instead and needed to create new job positions for them to fill in.

>>57595460
DoD internship got me a TSSCI clearance, it was all downhill from there

at least we're not britain

>>57596278
I'm about halfway through doing this at the moment. I've just done their online skill-test, they asked how much I wanted to earn and I just put the lowest one in the dropdown (is still twice what I'm making now) any more advice on how to asskiss my way into this job?

Networking and supreme bullshitting skills

My current employer called me and I said ohh okay then.

>>57595507
>Tech recruiter

Why are you applying through a third party? It's not likely the company going to keep you for long since they have to pay the recruiter too.

>>57595576
>>57595650

I got in through 100% skill. My education wasn't worth anything. My references were only from shitty menial jobs.

It's only a level 2 helpdesk job but I landed it by having good work experience and being sociable and grounded in the interview. First day is next Monday, wish me luck anons

Neighbour is CEO

Was one of the only guys crazy enough for the job

>>57595474
thing is, I actually believe you.

I didn't.

I might be getting a job soon (finally).

Connetcions from webdeving for free for a gaming community.
Sysadmin asked if I was interested in a job. It worked.

>>57595460
My boss recruited me. He also said as long as I take the vitamins and wear the clothes he buys I can stay on the job.

>>57596278

post anonymized version of said CV

Started my own business.

>>57595460
>knock on the door of a lecturer's office at my uni
>ask if she still needs TAs
>get a job as electronics 101 TA
It probably helped that I'm at a small uni and our electronics department is really small.
It's a comfy job, especially since I'd want to work at some university in a future.

By applying for it

Is CCNA shit? I have to do one as part of my CS BScH.

>>57598735
No. Just almost everyone has it. It's basic knowledge.

>>57595475
Probably a clickbait article. Technically you can be an industrial engineer, chemical engineer, etc without a CS degree
I know a programmer with a Math degree though

>>57596298
>Interaction Engineer

oh come on

Oh look, something that doesn't require CS.

You should go look up what system engineering is, buddy.

>>57598579

>>57596790
Don't put the lowest available, it shows you don't think you are worth the job. Look up what is average starting wage on the position and go just slightly lower.

Current role?

Work in insurance. Was the resident nerd and built a reputation as being reliable at "that IT stuff." Now I'm a test analyst and paid $92K AU in an organisation that's agile in methods (I haven't thought for a long time, and it's a chill gig). I work from home on Mondays.

>>57595541
Same story here. Degrees in IT stop mattering once you can offer actual skill.

Once you get the actual real world experience, no one worth working for should require a degree from you.

I have a computer engineering degree. Now I'm an embedded software engineer for an automotive firm.

Having a website with all my projects helped a lot.

I'm not great at the whole motor thing yet and their embedded code is a mess, but the coworkers are good and my next job will be even better so I'm okay with it.

I'm 23 and have no other education except for a few grad courses. Should I get my masters?

Worked in private sector at a semi - gov agency for a year and a half due to family member who also worked there told me about a job opening they had. Family member had zero input on me getting the job. (october 2003-jan 2005). After 1.5 years got fired cause some other person who worked there had a family member who needed a job. I was lowest paid person on payroll so ... In 2005 after no work for several months I got hired in May at a state gov job. Been there ever since. I don't get paid for my IT skills though, actual job has nothing to do with IT but I handle all my co-workers IT problems cause I'm faster than in house IT staff at getting results.

>>57596503
They're also taking "Business Analyst" jobs by injecting themselves as an intermediary between IT and the rest of the company like >>57596348 said with "Developer Relations".
I have to work with one daily and it's a gigantic pain in the ass.

knocking on the door and asking for the job.
literally.

>>57596503
social engineering is literally just having enough brain cells to fake your intensions

>>57595734
CS graduates are not engineers.

I was in the park when a recruiter phoned me up. I had a phone interview with my boss and then another with a guy in India. Then I had a face to face interview. Got offered the job. Ended up doing a completely different thing to what I applied for in the first place, but this is better

>>57599532
dude why lurk on /g/
masters? depends on position if they ever require it.

Most research positions want a masters or related work exp or both

You're probably not in this thread anymore, but what were you majoring in and what job did you get?

>>57595460
Studying IT.
Mandatory third year internship,
Apply for 5 places, get accepted for interviews in 5 places.
Pick one that pays the most.
Do internship.
Ask team lead if i can have a 16 hour contract because working at a supermarket sucks.
Get 16 hour contract, work 2 days while finishing school / work 40 hours during summer.
In the Netherlands if anyone wonders.

>>57595474
Christ, you're disgusting.

>>57598913
Math graduates make better software engineers than CS graduates, fact. I'm not one myself, but they have a much better mindset for the job. All they need is to learn how to use the tools, after the initial period of learning, they'll be far more productive than any CS shitter.

>>57603053
I know html/css js php bootstrap and learning drupal, should I start python and wp to get a better salary?(getting something close to minimal wage right now)

>>57603190

You get get $20/hr pretty easily. Our highschool student interns with no skills get paid $15/hr.

>>57599532
Famalam I'm applying to an automotive firm to do an internship. Any advice? Halfway through my masters in eee and I took embedded and power electronics/drives classes so I should be ok with questions/tasks on that stuff..

Have zero work history, I feel stuck in that "no job because no experience because no job.." loop.
