maybe i will go into academia
fishcakes [#5]I think you're supposed to apply in March/April? idk. but try your school's job searching portal
i tried using my schools job portal but its kinda bad which is surprising for a school that’s supposed to be good at cs
ShanksFan69 [#7]Well check your ATS score i just found out my resume was shit, try to improve the ats score so you get shortlisted. (ats score is the score your resume gets by an automatic scanning which companies do with the keywords and try to match the candidate with the best profile)
how do you check ats score? is there some website i can use

CS is indeed in a tough spot in the job market rn, but AI also needs its hand held and code rigorously checked by an experienced programmer for it to work. Honestly, it's maybe only slightly better than getting help from google search results.
moatz [#10]do u have any internships or projects?
i had 1 in an unrelated data science position and a few projects from school but i wasnt able to get on this year so i wanna improve for next year
ilovefrozenblueberries [#8]how do you check ats score? is there some website i can use
there are probably free ones too
you can use overleaf resume templates they usually have high ats so that'll help
ilovefrozenblueberries [#3]are you cs major what do you
Yes
Computer Science + Linguistics
Expand your search. Use glassdoor and multiple websites not just Linkedin
And mass apply
The more places you apply the higher the chance you get a message back
Good luck you got this

thanks!
ilovefrozenblueberries [#21]oh i guessed uiuc because i know they have some CS + X program
Most schools that I’m aware of have a CS + X Program
Like USC
CS + Business/Administration
You should probably use your schools alumni network and ask for referrals. Best way to get an internship imo
ilovefrozenblueberries [#19]thanks!
But i'd say look up for somemore ats trackers too like 1-2 more just to be extra sure
swvyboi1 [#24]Hey, the most important thing as a programmer is a profile with interesting projects in it, that's what the companies look at the most. They want to look at what/how you're able to code.

ive heard about that but how do you even approach alumni? i find it harder to talk to people that are older and not in school anymore as I can’t really find stuff to relate to them

Go to Linkedin
Your school Alumni page
Find people with the similar job title you have interest in
Glaze them and ask if you can get a referral because it would be a dream to work there
JMZxp [#25]Wrong
Experience > Projects
For an intern guy, you won't have much experience outside of college. What boosts your chances are the interesting projects you have done in your spare time/outside of your school. Way more chances than those who haven't.

Employers are more inclined to hire someone with an internship for a full time position that some buck that did 5 pointless projects + employers sometimes gives a return offer (full time position) to interns
Internship = Experience
If you don’t get one during college well you’re basically fucked

I'm saying someone with an internship who has projects in his profile will have way better chances than someone with an internship who just followed his college curriculum and has not done any self projects outside of that curriculum. I'm comparing people with internships. Not some random guy with no degree/diploma that did 5 pointless projects out of nowhere. It's all about boosting his chances.

My bad didn’t read fully You’re correct
Internships + Projects will increase your chance
ilovefrozenblueberries [#4]maybe i will go into academia
graduated georgia tech in may, going into a PhD program
in the fall. happy to chat if it would be useful to you.
I think I messaged you randomly back in May because I
thought you were also from georgia tech, apologies if it
came off as creepy.
