Job Motivation
Just wanted to leave this here for anyone that is unmotivated to continue applying especially those in the tech field to show it is possible. I started my tech journey about a year ago and didn’t start applying consistently until about a month ago. No major schooling just labs, certs and projects, and searching daily to see if any new jobs opened. For context I do not use LinkedIn easy apply nor do I use indeed they are scams, I use LinkedIn to find jobs and go to the business’ website to verify if there is an actual opening and if there is I’ll apply. About 20 applications and 3 ish interviews later (one being a waste of time with a recruiter building her pipeline for a “future opening”) I landed a position. If there is anyone that is breaking into IT or anything in general that would like an easier breakdown feel free to ask!
