What I've learned after a 5-month job search

A bit of background first... I graduated in August with a master's degree in electrical engineering. I technically started sending applications out in May, but I wasn't seriously looking until June. I live in the midwest, but I was mostly looking at jobs on the east coast. I just accepted a job offer in Maryland.

I think I submitted over a 100 applications through company websites or services like LinkedIn and Indeed. I got a total of 4 first interviews, and 2 of those first interviews turned into second interviews both of which were onsite.

The first thing I learned was to use career services and have them look over my resume. I was making a lot of mistakes in how it was being written and the formatting. She was able to make it look much more professional.

The second thing I learned was to contact recruiters through LinkedIn. I got each of my first interviews by reaching out to a recruiter on LinkedIn. Contacting the recruiter is probably the most important thing you can do. Towards the end of my job search, I stopped caring much about my perfecting a cover letter and worked at finding the right person on LinkedIn to message.

Anyway, I just thought I would share what I learned.
