- Lessons I learnt as I struggled to find a full time software engineering job during the tech layoffs in 2023. There's many great resources out there for resume, interview skills, this is more of the mental aspects that I have learnt and to reassure that it IS tough and you're not alone!

Very useful for me, I experienced lots of interview recent weeks, waiting for interview result is terrible.
@@hank_zhao glad that it helps, definitely tough times lately, the waits are always exhausting, wish you all the best!
Congrats on the new job!
thanks for sharing something so close to the heart and for the useful tips!
@@teoweijie123 we really all be going through this as new grads
Good luck to you, and I hope you get to work at your favorite company in the future.
@@franco521 thank you I appreciate it!
I think 70 applications is insanely low if you've been unemployed for 200 days but at least you got into a good company in the end.
@@mrbunton2487 oh I was actually going through my last year of university during those 200 days so was applying for jobs during my last year of university. Yea 70+ applications isn’t a lot but think in general there were less new grad job listings during that 2023 period because of the whole situation
i need a video on how to use notion
shoot your shot lol. that's what i've been doing at the start of my IT career - that is, if it becomes a career. pretty tough. but i did land a job setting up offices and docking stations with monitor & monitor arms. gota start somewhere!
@@ccxfrank109 for sure man only up from here
"The good thing is that you actually can get a reply".
That's how tough job hunting is now. It's considered good if you even get a reply - like c'mon setting up a rejection system with automatic emails isn't that hard, even I could do it 💀
@@magicsweet yeaa getting replies for a rejection definitely feel better than straight up ghosting
What is the app or website name that you used for making your application outcomes 0:48. Can you add your template here please.
It looks like Notion to me
@@varmahari1508 hey there! Yup chicken is right it’s called Notion, it’s one of the built in templates they have called “Table”, video here for guide: czcams.com/users/shortsa_9UKm11ZQA?si=K0h-hE1fKWwt1Uwt
just got rejected today. sucks. may be I'm just not cut out for this industry 🤔
@@mango-strawberry definitely sucks it’s rough.. you’ll always be questioning yourself but sometimes you just gotta stick with it if you really want to!
talk to jen psaki or biden. they told people to ditch coal mining and pick up coding.
@@vndragonslayer1 it’s tough out here
