Do you have any advice for students in 91视频专区鈥s IT program looking for work?
Widen your scope when it comes to job hunting. The more companies you apply for, the greater your odds are of getting an offer or another opportunity. Make sure to apply for jobs during the semester as well. The amount of active job applications will build up over time and give you a better chance at being chosen. Apply for entry-level jobs and take on internships too鈥you have to start somewhere with your professional career.
