My story

I’ve been through this search many times.

01

Where I started

I studied computer science at SFU, worked through co-ops, and stayed on for a master’s in big data. On paper I was ready. The job search still caught me off guard.

02

What the search was really like

Applications that went nowhere. Interview loops that ran five rounds. Behavioural questions I knew the answers to and still fumbled. Most of what I learned, I learned by getting it wrong first.

03

Why I do this

I’m now a software engineer. The most useful advice I got was specific and honest, and it was hard to find. I’d like to make it easier to find for the next person.

What we cover

Bring whatever is in your way.

Here are four places we can start. If yours isn’t listed, bring it anyway.

Telling your story

Where to apply, how to get referrals, and what to do when replies stop coming.
