ChatGPT: Acts - used to extract keywords from job descriptions to tailor a CV. Removing it would change the process shown.

[3/25] Rejection Isn’t the End 126 applications. 12 interview processes. 7 rejections. 3 coding tests. 2 live coding tests. And finally… 2 offers. That was my journey to becoming a software engineer. Every “no” made me question whether I was good enough. If I had given up at rejection 50, 80, or even 125, I wouldn’t be here today. The difference between quitting and winning was one more try. Here are a few things that helped me turn the corner: Be early. On LinkedIn, change the “tpr” filter to 3600 for the last 1 hour or 43200 for the last 12 hours. This lets you apply as one of the first candidates. Tailor your CV. Copy the job description into ChatGPT and extract the exact keywords to add into your Leverage networking. Referrals beat cold applications. Talk to people, comment on posts, and ask questions. The more visible you are, the more opportunities come your way. Comment “HIRED” and I’ll send you all this information + my job tracker in a free pdf Rejection isn’t the end of the story. #coding #softwareengineer #Tech #computerscience #jobmarket
