sigh
i’m graduating next may and feeling extremely anxious about the whole job thing. i don’t think i’m necessarily awful at interviews, but i’m fucking terrified of them. i’ve gone through several different rounds for internships and i’m just a sweaty, nervous mess no matter how much prep i do. i hate the fact that every round i meet with someone new and i have to re-pitch myself to them. i wish i could just sit down with an engineer and walk through a real-life problem with them. how did you guys go about getting your first industry-related job? am i just targeting the wrong companies?
Mine was through having to do national service, and I just stayed on and moved to different areas. But just be yourself as you want a job that can accept you for who you are. I’ve seen so many people get jobs too by being in the right place at right time too - sort of seizing opportunities that arise at the time during conversations or with clients. The first job may not be your final job, as it leads you to get into contact with others.
