Hey everyone, I just accepted a contract with ServiceNow and today was my first day! I want to thank @Anna Miller @Nate Hobi and all of you for your encouragement/resources and time. I appreciate each of you!

My name is Darec and I am originally from Germany, now living in Florida. I consider myself to be proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - especially CSS. I love making things look nice. My greatest hurdles at the moment are DSAs and frontend libraries. I need to get better with React, Vue, and/or Angular, as these seem to be at the forefront of roles in my chosen field of Web Development. My portfolio website at http://darecmcdaniel.info

Hello all! I'll be looking at the career guides as well, but if anyone has any tips on second interviews, I would welcome them. 1. 30 minute conversation with Lead Engineer / hiring manager for Software Engineer I 2. 60 minute in-person for software support engineer role: a few more questions relating to the role and culture fit, as well as a short technical portion.

So I got laid off my previous company HundredX which was a startup based out in Texas. I had gotten some severance so I didn't start looking as I was recharging. Well maybe I should have started right away because little did I know this job search would not be for the weak. Countless applications, reframing my resume and cover letter, continuously adding recruiters, responding to countless emails, applying for roles that may or may not fit your background, questioning my sanity, numerous job sites, updating job profiles, hitting up people I haven't talked to if ever in ages, getting few interviews, getting ghosted after one interview, completing all rounds of the interview process only to not get selected and when asking for feedback no response, random off shore recruiters calling you at odd times, when given feedback all they say is that they wanted more "experience" in this area, finally making it through to the end and all things are right in the universe only to get the "we flipped a coin and we really loved you but ultimately decided on another candidate", asking AI for all the life lines and rewrites. Is this you? Because this was/is me. What can I tell you is that no matter what put on that smile and keep on going. You've worked too hard to get this far. And yeah if it was a cakewalk then everyone can do it. And it would get boring fast. Just keep recharging your batteries with your loved ones, friends, outlets and anything you can. Take little breaks so that your head doesn't explode from over thinking or being drained. And look for positive outlets. I found that here with @Anna Miller and @Nate Hobi and the Insiders here. It was definitely a breath of fresh air. I got some new ideas being here and started applying them. So thank you for the support. And with that it has been a long time coming but I just signed onto a role with Apple. I can finally breath.

Hey all. This is a little late, but after 3 months of applying to tons of places and sitting for dozens of interviews I received and accepted an offer! I feel like I got lucky after constantly reading through people not getting anything after 12+ months of interviewing. So I guess I'd say it's tough as hell out there but some people are still hiring. Thanks to everyone on here for creating resources to help me get over this last bit of unemployment!
