Eira’s Answer

When you get rejected I would be sure to ask what you could do to improve your interview and your portfolio. As someone said before reaching out to people on LinkedIn for suggestions is useful as well. Sometimes it just takes time to find a job so don't give up, stay positive.

I also was rejected by one company but the interviewer was quite nice and I stayed in touch and they ended up actually hiring me because I stayed connected to them on LinkedIn and let them know I was still open to whatever type of opportunity was available in their company. Just be social and supportive of others and that can take you a long way.

Hi there,

I would recommend reaching out to those on LinkedIn that you want to network and learn from - Be specific about what you are curious about when it comes to their career path, rather than a generic request for connection. Learn from those who are working on at companies that you may want to work for how they got there. Sending out personalized, specific messages usually will result in a positive response! Good luck!

N. Jenny recommends the following next steps:

Look up companies/people you want to work for!

Bekah’s Answer

Hi Melissa!

I would suggest that you do a few meet and greets with folks that are currently doing the job that you aspire to get. It can be informal, like a zoom meeting, but reaching out directly to someone on linkedin usually works. When I do this, I explain that I would like to know more about the person's career path and less about getting hired. I know it's tough in the tech industry right now, so stick with it! Be open to new opportunities and apply for jobs that may be slightly different than your dream job.

Good Luck!

Adrian’s Answer

Begin assembling a showcase, spotlighting the top three or four fascinating projects you've been a part of. Add a short summary of your responsibilities and the hurdles you overcame. Include a couple of captivating pictures to spark interest. This will not only highlight your skills but also show your journey and growth in a visually appealing way.
