Network to get work. Especially if you’re a new grad. For small businesses with less than 50 employees, call and ask if they’re hiring. You’d be surprised how much of a difference that can make.

Since you've recently graduated, I would consider connecting with previous instructors and looking for a paid internship in your field of study. Honestly, you never know where one opportunity may lead. Have you started a resume since graduating?

What type of work are you looking for? Depending on the specific function, I would recommend looking into certifications or internships in that field to get more experience, to add on to your resume. I would recommend to edit your resume with ChatGPT to be tailored towards job specifications of the role you are interested in, reach within your network for referrals, and mass apply to jobs. You never know what will hit!

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

The few interviews that I have had, feedback has been I don’t have enough experience. I’m at a loss!

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.
