Day 13 - April 13

I woke up with a disturbed mind because I have to go to school today for a session. I filled out two applications for Microsoft and Nest and customized my resume and cover letters for both according to the job requirements. This feels more intentional and focused and I will see if there is any improvement. My target is to submit 20 customized applications a day.

So I went to school today and as soon as I went to get the bus, I met a classmate who asked me where I was going for full-time. It was pretty annoying but I kind of expected this from people so I told here I'm still recruiting and then headed to school.

At the session I was careful to avoid speaking to people and only made an effort to speak to people I really liked and felt comfortable with. On the other hand many people were delighted to see me and came and gave me hugs. I do like these people at school but everywhere there are some people who are not empathetic and will try to put you down.

I heard back from the recruiter at Nest saying she had passed on my resume to the university team. I got a message from the recruiter at Microsoft that she is busy so I will remind her after a couple of days.

I spoke to an alum who recently got into Nest and she gave me suggestions on the roles to target. She was really sweet. She told me to look into roles at Apptio, Mulesoft and Wayfair.

I have a bunch of applications to submit for the company I interned for. I got a referral from an alum there, so I will tailor my resume and cover letter and apply.
