Hey, I have been trying to land on a job since march and only been facing rejections. I will be graduating in the month of december and I have no offer in hand. I have tried referrals, connecting with the recruiters updating my resume every now and then but nothing seems to be working for me. I dont know where I am going wrong or what I must do.

Why are you connecting with recruiters when you should be connecting with PPMD? :-)

Sorry, ppmd?

Principal/ Partner/ Managing Director. That’s IMO only as some people I have talked that landed a job told me they talked with the “right people” so just take that with a grain of salt :)

Are you landing interviews? Or just getting rejected flat out? Sometimes an internship on a resume or working with a career advisor can really drastically change the course.

I am landing interviews very recently but that too very very rarely

You hard work will pay off soon. It seems like you're giving it your best. Some people don't get an offer until months after they've graduated and it'll be there dream job. It may not take that long for you but the right job will find you. What career field/position are you applying for?

Thank you, it really means a lot to me. I am applying for data analyst, business analyst and data scientist roles.

There is always a perfect timing for everything. You are not alone. Anyone else can be in the same situation as you are or even worse. Make a difference by giving out that positive attitude towards failures and rejections. Positive thoughts bring positive results. Just keep moving forward until you reach the top.

Don't be discouraged! I know how it feels. You will definitely get a job if you keep on applying! Don't give up!

Got my MBB offer as an Exp Hire! A few insights from my case prep. I practiced ~10 cases solo using Case Coach videos. I'd watch the interviewer speak, pause the video, practice (speak out loud, ask questions, explain my approach, even time myself), then play to see what the candidate did, and evaluate myself for gaps.

I also learned the evaluation criteria and internalized the generic case frameworks.

I do work in consulting and had done live case interviews 5 years ago

Hi Guys,

After my HR round today, Hr called up and said that will move forward with the offer but approvals with higher management might take some time as there is a hiring freeze.
Do you think offer will be released? And how much time these approvals take ?

She mentioned at the end that they are definitely going to offer as all feedbacks are positive.
But it all depends on the approvals.
