This past week has been quite productive for me. My spirits are much better now after speaking with alums and getting their advice. They have given me some good tips for the job search. Let me see how things work out after implementing their advice. As usual, just as I anticipated, the useless career counselor guy just asked me for my contacts, which I didn't send. I am not going to share my contacts that I have taken pains to cultivate with the career counselor guy who doesn't want to do any work. He will actually take this list and pass it on to other students as if he has those contacts. Alumni are better than the career management, for sure. They give practical advice and have some clue about recruiting.
So the major things I learnt during my conversation with alums are
So the major things I learnt during my conversation with alums are

- Reach out to alums
- Apply with a focused approach
I'm applying to companies in this way now. Let's see if this yields results.
