How many job applications did you send out before landing a job?

5

it's a numbers game. sometimes you get lucky. sometimes you don't.

>>59700129
They approached me

>>59700129
20ish
Had 4 interviews before I got a job.
Before I took said job I was offered a much larger salary by a direct recruiter who didn't even ask me for a resume.

She's comely.

Her surgeon does good work.

>>59700138
you landed your first job by being approached by someone else?

>>59700225
Yes, that's what happens when you get good grades / build something interesting in your final year of university, companies actually want to hire you

I just asked my cousin Padmanabha to land me a job in Google as a senior dev after completing my Java course

Not a single one. Was approached right after medical school by two hospitals, decided to go with one of them. Hard job, but very good money. Hospitals suck, however.
Because I live alone, I was able to save up pretty much everything I made and now I'm studying computer science. So yeah.

>>59700266
Bout the same as this guy, sent out like 20-30 and had 3 interviews. Accepted the first one. The whole process took about 2 months.

>>59700236
What did you study?

What interesting thing did you build in your final year?

>>59700311
>What did you study?
Computer Science with a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence
>What interesting thing did you build in your final year?
I can't talk many details (as I technically don't own the rights to it any more), but lets just say I now work for a large defence contractor, and there are probably a few less terrorists in the world because of what I worked on

>>59700285
well done my friend. say hello to moot

>>59700338
who?

>>59700285
Same, I just got a job from my parent's connections.

>>59700129
I've never sent out an application and I've never had a job.

>>59700438
You're at the right place

>implying i'm a dumb wage slave
>implying i'm not my own boss

>>59700236
not really. i'm at stanford and google, facebook, palantir, etc... come to campus but don't make offers like that. it would be insane to bring you into an existing team without evaluating your ability on their terms.

0. They've always have approached me first.

>>59700129
I still haven't gotten a job. Instead I cofounded a tech company in Palo Alto.

>Yes I know startups are meme, but not working for yourself is a even bigger meme.

>>59700634
Does your startup make any money or are you just sucking your investors balls dry?

>>59700138
This.
Connections are more important than grades.

>>59700129
Zero.

Sent out like 5 when looking for an internship I needed to pass uni. Had one interview but got rejected, sunk into the depression. Then I asked my dad and he just got a friend to sign the papers without me doing shit. 6 months later I started looking again, sent out ~3 applications, got an interview with 1 company, got in. Then a guy I knew and helped a few times at uni got me a job at this company 6 months ago and I had been working there since. Some bullshit with the boss happened recently and some people are talking of leaving the company, but I'd rather work any kind of bullshit instead of living the hell that is unemployment and job searching.

>>59700138

I have projects on github with >10000 stars

None, I got a job at the company I did my internship at.

First job: 50-100, I lost count. No qualifications or experience made it tedious.
Second: Applied to 10, but I ended up getting the first one.
Third: The company approached me on LinkedIn, got offered double my previous salary.

60

Mfw no job.

>"I can't tell you much about it because it is le so important but I swear I did this big important thing"

I think I'm currently at 8. Apparently I should just adapt a firehose method since a lot of companies don't even reply to you when you apply.

I sent out 20 applications and went to six interviews and had another three over Skype.

All of the jobs were either middle school or high school teacher, but I ended up picking a position in rural Nebraska because it seemed the easiest and it definitely is.

>small class sizes
>well-behaved students
>never have to sit in traffic
>can live comfortably for cheap

I don't regret not choosing another job offer in Los Angeles that paid only a bit more than this. I lived in Los Angeles while I was attending college and I don't want to go back.

>>59701249
Only a neet wouldn't know about NDA's

>>59701312

You would be teaching offsprings of illegals and blacks. I would gladly have chosen Nebraska over Los Angeles even if the pay is smaller

>>59700129
>How many job applications did you send out before landing a job?

0.
I knew a guy who was in a position to give me a job.
He gave me a job and didnt regret it.

Its really important to know people. Because from a employer standpoint its a big hassle to hire completely unknown people. Its always way way better if you someone already knows you.
Most people in my company got here this way. atleast developers.

Go to meetups and conventions and stuff like that, itreally helps.

>>59700129

zero. working is for plebs.
