I know the market is ass rn, I’ve been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like “you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better”. I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn’t picked (I reply only to emails that aren’t from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it’s just from automated systems and they don’t even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?
I got denied at the internal codimg review. I asked if I could get feedback. I was told it’s policy not to give feedback.
I tried for 2 years but I’m kinda feeling broken down. I’m now almost as long out of work as I had been with a job in CS.
I don’t say this to drop doom and gloom on you but, to say, they aren’t going to give you even a aingle inch that you don’t claw out of them, so if you find a place that you really like fight for em.
