I’m in uni, i haven’t had much luck with applications so far. I know that most people actually get places by having stuff to show off e.g projects, clubs and GOOD GRADES. My grades are “mid,” and I’ve had no time for clubs and projects (engineering student, supporting family, poor mental health)
Spam applying for places feels like it will do more harm than good. Am I right to feel that? Or completely wrong? One argument against might be that no human is going to see the application most of the time, so it really is a persistence game
I have a very specific skill set so my experience may not apply, but I’ve had the best results going through technical head hunters.
Tempt to perm positions lasting six months to a year, then they decide if they want to hire you.
Yes spam away, it’s not like your credit score is getting dinged each time you send one.
My only caution to this approach is that you want to be sure to research the company before any interview, don’t show up and be like “Well, ya’ll were the only one of the 500 I sent out to reply, what do you do?”
