Day 14 - April 14

Today I had a conversation with someone in ZocDoc and an alum gave the following advice
  1. Target companies that are larger which don't have visa sponsorship issues.
  2. Target roles that are general. I think sales and business development fit the bill.
So I applied to a Microsoft sales role and then I had a good lunch with a dear friend and just got back. I am reaching out to Microsoft Sales people and I will talk to more people at larger companies and try to get my resume noticed.

I applied to 5 roles at Palantir. 2 Business Operations and Strategy roles and 2 Technical Project Manager roles. I am going to apply to some other Deployment Strategist roles.  I also wrote to the two alums to see if they could put me in touch with the recruiter. I should write to the recruiter as well.

I also reached out to the recruiter at Kabbage and an alum at Indeed to see if they could consider me for sales roles.

I submitted 3 applications for the company I interned for. Have to do 4 more. Somehow managed to tailor my resume but couldn't do the cover letter. I have to apply for more roles and it doesn't seem that I can do 20 applications in one day. I should at least do 10 a day. This is pure torture.

I spoke to one alum from Target and she offered to forward my resume. The other alum from Target didn't call. She was supposed to call at 5:30 pm. Oh, well. This week, I haven't been reaching out to as many recruiters or alums. Here is my plan.

  1. Reach out to 40 people a day. 20 recruiters, 20 alums.
  2. Apply 20 applications. 10 customized applications. 10 small applications.
  3. Prepare 10 questions a day. 5 general case questions, 5 tech case questions.
