Going to graduate college soon but I can't find a job. Thinking about taking coding courses over summer.
I'm a soon to be graduate from UConn and looking at a 3.2 gpa by the time of graduation in marketing. So far I have had 1 job experience working at a jewelry store and 1 internship experience working for a web development company. I thought I was extremely employable due to being bilingual and all, but currently I'm having a really hard time landing a job in marketing so I'm looking into taking coding classes at my local community college. Is this a viable strategy? Or should I be sending my application out in mass? (I've only applied to about a dozen jobs so far but no one got back to me) Or alternatively, should I hunker down on a low paying job and work from the bottom?
Have you seen all the computer analyst job opening out there! Get the training at your own pace or look into a bootcamp if you can afford to make the investment.
Hi Sophia, Have you tried calling the companies you applied at to follow up on your application? This could help you find out the status of your applications and also make sure they received it. I would also recommend filling out your profile so fellow Jobcasers are able to help you search for other jobs that might work for you.
Sounds like a good back up plan Sophia. Go for it!
