I got a CS degree earlier this year. I'm Autistic and am genuinely really passionate about it. I've put out hundreds of applications and got 1 interview but was ultimately rejected. I've tried applying to retail positions, even with a dumbed down resume so I don't look overqualified, and they don't want me either. I'm extremely low on money and I've been getting really bad panic attacks lately. I don't even know what to do anymore.
I believe some tech companies have neuro diversity hiring programs, if you haven't stumbled across those yet. The jobs don't demand less, but they have a setup to be more supportive of the candidates.
Thanks. I will go look into that.
Are you applying for jr level positions or trying for positions your college said you could get after you graduate?
I am applying to entry level positions. I have a resume website I made as well as some projects. My most recent uses Spring Boot + React.
Ok that's good, I would advise, try for anything right now in the field if IT. Shoot for an MSP and just get your foot in the door. Then network while you work there, show them your good at your field of study. The main thing right now is to get into the field first, worry about your tower after you get in and start networking with coworkers and others. Almost all of my positions and career advancement has come from networking, I get people hunting for me to get poached from my company now because of who I know.
Sorry to say that you’re quite fucked. I’ve been in IT / Tech for 18 years. My company hasn’t hired jr devs for at least a year.
Look for government coding positions like state level or even city or town level.
