We do, but that’s not the point. Someone suggested that new comp sci grads are having a very hard time finding work.
I don’t believe that given how hot the market is right now. If anyone is having real trouble, then they are either being selective (won’t move to a big city, have high demands, etc), OR something is wrong. Maybe their resume is terrible, maybe they are bad at interviews, etc.
There are many companies where I don't get past the resume screen as a new grad, meanwhile the companies I do get interviews with will come back with an offer >$200k.
But I have to apply to 20-30 companies to get 1 interview, so there is clearly a problem at the resume-screening stage for new grads.
That’s because a recruiter or HR person screens resumes at most big companies. I always tell them to send me all the resumes so I can screen them myself.
Have to find a way to get past the HR screen until you have experience. Somethings that work: go to meetups. Often times the hiring manager or a tech team member is there and you can meet them directly. Apply at startups that don’t have a recruiting department yet. Email the tech team directly if you can figure out who they are.
