I woke up today feeling so disturbed. I submitted 3 applications for a company I interned for. I customized my resume for 2 but couldn't find any similarity between what I had done before and the role I was applying for for the 3rd application, so I just left it and submitted the resume that I had. Yay! Just one more. Customizing and submitting applications is pure torture. But I heard back from two of the recruiters at the company for the applications that I submitted yesterday (Senior Program Manager and Business Development Manager), so I hope this is a good strategy. They haven't invited me for interview or anything yet, but hearing back from the company itself seems like a good thing.
I heard back from another recruiter at the same company and they rejected me for the Marketing role (Partner Program Marketing Manager) I had applied for. At least the recruiter had the courtesy to reply to me and let me know.
Finally heard back this afternoon that they may be discussing with me next week for the Program Manager role and I am super excited about this company.
Do three checks before stalking people in companies
1. Are there alumni in the companies
2. Do they sponsor visas
3. Is the company hiring
Today I spoke with an alum from VMware and she told me she would help me get my resume noticed at VMware and also asked me to contact another person at Verizon. She also said she would coach me. I felt happy after the conversation and felt I was not alone in this.
I didn't go for swimming or exercise for the whole week and I'm feeling so unhealthy. I got dressed to go but it was slightly chilly and I decided against it. I should start from tomorrow. I came back and cooked some food, had dinner, watched Natalie Portman's interviews (I love her) and tracked the past week's progress. I will now speak with my family and call it a day.
