How do I get a software developer job if I have a CS degree but have no prior experience...

Sue your university for not warning you that you need to do internships.

Disclaimer: This could be a bad idea. I haven't given it any thought.

The more important question is whether you can do the job. If so, then ignore their stated requirements and find a way to convince them of it.

being hired has very little to do with the ability to do a job

You forgot the part when you accuse discrimination when you don't get accepted.

I was in your position.

1. Work on personal projects. This gives you something to put on your resume and a little experience (Make sure these are available on GitHub or somewhere public)

2. Apply everywhere anyway. Target desperate start ups. Start ups require really senior level engineers, but these companies are so desperate for cash/productivity, they may gamble on someone from the bottom of the barrel like you.

My company gambled on me and it paid off big time for them. It took 1.5 years for me to land a job.

HR retards should be burned alive

Aqua is so beautiful and useful, I love her.

The Jew protects the HR whale

aqua is a dumb useless bitch, shut the fuck up cunt

Work a shit job, create a LLC with a friend that doesnt do really anything but you make great programs and advertise it. Use that on future resume and you are golden.

The real answer is to move. There is plenty of 0 years of experience postings in the valley, Austin, and Seattle. Rest of the country ? Not so much. Your other option is to go into web dev.

>carpet bomb applications everywhere
how many on average? what if you exhaust all postings? sometimes they do mean it though

Become tranny

instant diversity hire, they wont even look at your resume

For internships I seen people literally do ~100 postings. For jobs it's probably less than that. Still I wouldn't get discouraged if you are turned away from a dozen or two job listings.

Help desk. Leave your self-worth at the door

does no response count as turned away

I didnt have a CS degree and I had an internship in an unrelated field and got a CS job. Still got hired in ~15 applications

Help desk is honestly the best you can go with. You see the problems happening and can offer solutions. Offer enough solutions and people notice you in other departments.

Lie, you idiot.

what? you're too good to lie? You're some sort of tuetonic knight who took a vow to tell the truth unto death? you visit an indian shaman who told you to lie is to murder a part of the world?

You want to work at mega-hyper-global or not?

gotta have a layer between management and applicants or else people who got rejected would start attacking people
business 101

Have you tried looking them straight in the eye and giving firm handshakes?

references?
what references?
If they were going to bother checking for references they would have gone out and headhunted some graduates from MIT.

I told the most outrageous lies I could, and I still got hired. I told those motherfuckers I had 8 years of experience working for Microsoft and gave them the god damn help number on my reference card. I was 25, I'd have had to been working at microsoft since I was 17.

God i HATE this shit country.

I got a cs degree but now i've realized i hate computers.

You think, "But how will I make it plausable enough that they will believe me?"

Don't bother. They will believe literally anything. You can tell them your a russian immigrant who ran away from the circus and that you used to be a lion tamer. Just stick to your story, they don't have the balls to call you on it.

and if they don't hire you, so what? Find some other sap who will pay you to warm their seats. The more of an incompetant jackoff layabout slacker you are, the more they will pay you and the higher you'll climb up the corporate ladder.

You might think I'm kidding or making some attempt at humor. I assure you I'm not.

If you can troll someone on Jow Forums, you can get a job as an office seatwarmer.

The better question is, why bother?

Depends how long you feel like waiting.

deploy a shitty website on aws with an sql backend, put it on your resume and send it to me, i'll get you a job

>implying if you have internships they won't be like "these are not relevant to our projects"

sometimes i wonder if giving them a counter argument when they send you a rejection email will get them to reconsider cause a lot of times they seem to do it for dumb reasons
like bitch why the fuck did you lead me on for so many weeks if you didn't intend to hire
am i the only one that thinks this elimination by successive rounds is dumb as fuck? they should consider the interview as a whole

the dumbest reason I was ever rejected for a job was that they thought I was too good and that I would leave before long.
meanwhile I had been unemployed for a year before that and I'm still unemployed 1.5 years later. I would have done anything for them. I told them I wouldn't leave and they did another interview and then rejected me again saying I didn't have enough experience.

I have a job and 1.5 years experience and I can't even find another job. I think the field is officially over-saturated we are fucked.

Is it just me or is this thread made again every few days?

are you new to Jow Forums?

Yeah, explain

every board has the same topics remade all the time. if you start finding a board repetitive leave for a while and go to a different board.

Oh I thought it's just generals that get remade

Tbqh, they don't really *require* it. If you're good then show them what you made.
Also, it's cliche but network as much as possible. LinkedIn, phone calls, emails, everything. LinkedIn especially. That's how I got my cybersec analyst position right out of college.

generals are officially remade, but the fact is that every board has a lot of topics that keep coming up over and over and over again. if you come back to Jow Forums in a year or two you'll still see people complaining about not having a job and how not interning fucked them over. every board has cliche threads.

How do you use linkedin to network? I have one but it doesn't seem to give me any advantage.

Oh ok. Thanks mate

Search for companies you like or people doing what you want to do. Then contact them and tell them you're looking for a job and you'd like to get in touch with someone in your department. Then have a chat with em. Ask em what they do, ask em about the company and stuff.
I always used the line "I'm looking for a job, wondering what I could do to make myself more marketable. Mind if I pick your brain with a few questions?" you're fresh out of college and that can be an advantage.

Just talk. Don't beg for a job just have a chat with anyone you can. Tell them you're looking and ask them about their job. I hate to put it to a formula like that, but it's best to just talk as much as possible.

Huh okay I could try something like that.

>he bumps threads that he finds repetitive
Are you by chance a retard?

build shit

CS is flooded with people fromother fields for better or for worse, plus tons of fags from bootcamps and the like it has to be washed out again in the next crisis which is overdue

Its called lying.

Do some work on your own time instead of jacking off, watching anime, and playing vidya all day. Only recent grads can get hired without any experience or without a portfolio of projects. Start a github account and contribute to projects.

Alternatively go get your Ph.D and teach.

How feasible would it be to work some part time job and make enough to live and then work on open source projects or just fuck around on your own for 20 more hours in the week? I kind of hate the corporate world. If they want to make it so hard to get a job I'm tempted to just say fuck you to it all.

I want a job and ive done plenty more than that

>actually tried to get co-ops (similar to internships but you come back periodically), common in ME
>got rejected by everyone over 3 semesters of interview rounds
>my GPA wasn't even that bad

this. if you don't land an interview for the position outright, your resume might get recommended for a different position that could lead to a development role.

in the meantime, do some self study and work on some projects on your own. dabble in other languages or frameworks. put that on your resume, and be prepared to demonstrate your work in an interview.

applications that demonstrate a desire to learn and complete projects will always stand out to me, but maybe not to some idiot HR fuck.

failing all that, and because you're not already drowning in enough debt, maybe pursue a diploma in business or project management.

Two things:

1. Portfolio. Build projects related to your intended job field.

2. Referrals. Network and ask for refferals from everyone you know.

Kill yourself fucking nigger. Don't disrespect her

the job market is trash in most places, you shotgun resumes until you get lucky

Reminder that a majority of HR workers are female.

Unironically this. I had been applying for IT at this one hospital for years. I just got the job about a year ago.

b-but what if some company decides to verify your bs?

You fucked up.
Time to sign up for neet bucks or work in retail

Sure. You can get a job a Astos, Accenture, McKinsey, Tata and whatever the rest of all these consulting companies are called because no one with more than 1-2 years experience actually works there.
However, the better alternative to this is killing yourself instead.

What's the next big field, now that programming is ruined forever by over saturation?

I heard that in 'Murrica you are pretty much expected to lie to a certain degree on your resume no matter what.

Can you lie about your age? Do they actually check that?

isnt this what "junior developer" jobs are for? as long as u have a degree and a portfolio u dont need "experience"

porn

Just send your resume in anyways.

I'm getting to on-site final interviews at really good companies but I'm getting rejected afterwards. The feedback is almost always "good/excellent, except for THING". For example in one of my coding interviews the THING was that even though I completed all the problems, I started coding too early (didn't ask enough questions).

My last interview for a grad job is next week. If I can't get it I'm going to be a NEET for a while.

Start your own "company". If you can make and host your own website you can also rent a virtual office and go to your local commerce department and state your making a business from a side gig from several years ago. Forge some receipts to show you've been in business for a year or two and pay the supposed tax on your receipts, then you can state you have work experience

I got a job and I didn't even finish college. I had to endure a whole year of getting payed like shit before being able to move on to better offers tho

Any Anons have guides for being homeless in London?
