Hello anandtech-ers, thanks for reading...
I recently graduated from UW with my bachelors in Computer Science and Software. I was on Dean's list, have a very good grasp of programming principles and Java, databases (Sql), GIS and even lower level machine language (though I have no experience with anything other than the educational machine we used in class for machine language).
I have been out of school since December and have put in applications at the "big 5" software companies with no hits. I have a cousin and a good friend who work for Microsoft and they both had some advice for me after looking at my resume: I need more experience. I don't have any projects listed on my resume, as I have only really programmed for projects at the UW.
To anyone who is currently employed or has recently gained employment at a software co.: Is there any other advice you can give me?
To anyone who has an idea for a project or is currently working on a side project that may need an assistant: Please contact me with details! Apparently I need to "pad" my resume
Thanks!
