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.

    Define “applying a bit”

    It’s very much a numbers game. If you’re applying to 20 jobs a day, try to up it to 30, etc. If you’re currently unemployed, finding a job is your job, spend at least several hours a day doing it

        You might also be the Lone Ranger telling the full truth and nothing but the truth 😉

        Integrity died prior to the invention of the modern computer.

        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
