I’m in uni, i haven’t had much luck with applications so far. I know that most people actually get places by having stuff to show off e.g projects, clubs and GOOD GRADES. My grades are “mid,” and I’ve had no time for clubs and projects (engineering student, supporting family, poor mental health)
Spam applying for places feels like it will do more harm than good. Am I right to feel that? Or completely wrong? One argument against might be that no human is going to see the application most of the time, so it really is a persistence game
In my career, I’ve had the most luck finding jobs through networking. If you have the ability to (and I will fully acknowledge not everyone has the ability), networking can help you get your foot in the door.
Aside from that, yeah, spam your resume.
