Refused because I am too junior ...
(I will a graduate in september)

Why its so hard to find my first job

Apply for companies that needs a fresher

@StopWastingTime How I can know it?
I am applying for startups, I think its the best to improve my skills

@ElMydterio by looking into their job description before pressing that apply button.

And yeah you got to increase your skillset to get a job. For both a startup or an mnc

Stop applying for senior roles?

Ok, that's probably not the case... well I would hope so😑

When the rejection comes in, ask for a why, other candidates might have something you don't.

@StopWastingTime Do you have some example?

@C0D4 I do mostly spontaneous application
Sometimes, I find jobs for intern/junior

But it ends the same way : I am not qualified because I am lacking skill or "too junior"

I am a bit desperate, I am not yet a junior but I've had internships

@ElMydterio firing off applications at anything usually leads to nothing.

Look at the jobs, look at the skills sets they have in common for the area you are trying to get into, and start honing up on the missing items.

Thank you for your advices

I don't give up!

If its not a secret, put your cv and github here, maybe we can give you some advice

I am not sure what do you need example for, but i would have said exactly what cod4 said. First thing is that apply for jobs that only requires the skills you already have.
There is often a mentality among (most) youth that they will be trained "on site". Well that's not a general case. Reality varies from company to company.

Some would take you like a mother takes a baby and would teach you everything they want to make you work upon.

But most would want a passionate person having a proof of their interest in learning. And by proof i mean your projects, your internship experience, your researches, skillset, etc.
If those matches with the requirements of the company, they would happily take you.

Sometimes a company isn't even looking for skills, they just want a proof of your passion for learning. That's what the philosophy behind competitive programming is : you are giving proof of your willingness to learn new things by showing interest and Excellency in Academic computer sc.

@StopWastingTime I understand
Thats why I created my portfolio with ReactJS
I did some side project but kinda hard to find time when I have school project

@yellow-dog I'd rather share in private ^^"

No startup wants to stake their success on someone with no experience.

Pay your dues!

Work a low-level job in the field that could potentially lead to the thing you really want to do, and work your way up. You'll have enough experience for it after about ten years.

Get a github, make at least one or two small projects.

Companies tend to be weary of grads as often they can't handle the industry and nuances of coding.

Show them you have some work to back up your qualification.

They don't trust you and their company policy requires them to hire people who graduated with a degree as a minimum. As such, most companies are risk-averse. They don't have the time, budget or risk to hire anyone without a degree. They think you're too inexperienced and they want someone who can just start and flex things out.

It's also especially hard because the IT market is now saturated with graduates and you're competing against people who not only have a Bachelor's degree at minimum, but then also have other well-respected technical certifications on the side, plus having respectable side-projects. It's like you're a gazelle trying to stroll in a landscape filled with leopards. People are crazy skilled these days, it's not like it used to be in the 90's anymore.

I've been where you've been. One of the reasons I finished my degree was not being able to get a job and getting told by every company they require 'someone with a degree'.

@CaptainRant I have to do 24 weeks of internships to validate my degree 😬

@ElMydterio Go and persevere! Give it all! You shall get there! :)
