sigh

i’m graduating next may and feeling extremely anxious about the whole job thing. i don’t think i’m necessarily awful at interviews, but i’m fucking terrified of them. i’ve gone through several different rounds for internships and i’m just a sweaty, nervous mess no matter how much prep i do. i hate the fact that every round i meet with someone new and i have to re-pitch myself to them. i wish i could just sit down with an engineer and walk through a real-life problem with them. how did you guys go about getting your first industry-related job? am i just targeting the wrong companies?

    one of literally thousands working on the exact same problem, at the same time, that thousands more had solved in prior years

    Well you first have to repeat shit until you can truly make shit. Uni gave me valuable experience in how to make stuff reproducible and how to reproduce results by others. Not to say it’s the best thing to happen to anyone, but some scientific method training is pretty neat.
