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?
as a fellow long-haired person, hell yea. it’s sort of reassuring to see that most of the responses i see here and on similar threads is to just cast a wide net and eventually something will land.
from my experience, cutting your hair to chin-length suffices to land a job
