Howdy! 🤠
TLDR: Created a simple page where I will add jobs (and check the ones currently listed) daily -specifically for folks studying or finishing their studies (college, boot campers, self-taught) in Computer Science. https://www.freshswe.com/
(This is based on the current U.S market, since this is my experience)
I graduated in 2021 and it took me 420+ applications to get 1 offer. The whole job-finding process sucked back them, and after reading some posts on Reddit, Blind, etc... It seems that still sucks.With all the layoffs, folks trying to get their foot into the field are really having a hard time.Unfortunately, that is not the only issue:
LinkedIn, Indeed, and all the other job boards site, even with all the filters, are inaccurate. If you search for an "entry-level" position you end up seeing several listing where they ask 3-5 years of experience. 🤨
I decided to help somehow. So, in a few hours this past Saturday, I put together https://www.freshswe.com/. (Nextjs, Airtable, Tally, Slack)
My commitment is to update it daily, with jobs that are actually fit for folks without experience or little experience (up to 1 year) as a requirement. Hopefully, others will join me and send listings to be add (there is a link where you can send jobs).
I believe if somehow, someone is impacted, this was well worth it. Still, even without any visible progress, I will do it by the end of 2023.
Good luck to y'all. Keep studying. Don't lose faith, hope, or whatever you use to find strength in difficult times.
