So most people, right as they’re leaving college, go, “I need to get me a job!” (Well at least if they have incorrect grammar and talk like morons.) They spend their last semester or year frantically searching anywhere for a job, so that someone- ANYONE- will take them. After all, “I so totally just did this AWESOME project in Field Project and this other thing in my Capstone class that was totally perfect for your company, sir!”
Right.
I’ve been lucky enough to waft through that intense job search for a few years now, because I’ve been in India. I’ve been lucky enough to get a job as soon as I walked into the first office here in Bangalore, and then through contacts, have one way or another of making money. And no I’m not talking about doing that for money thank you very much.
But no more. The dream ends now. I’ve begun applying for jobs in the US, particularly in California. I figure if I can get a job in the real Silicon Valley with actual Web companies, the better. So that’s what’s up in my world. But here’s a little note for all you kids out there who are planning to apply for a job: Don’t apply at 4 am. Here’s what I wrote a recruiter (who will most likely *not* be contacting me).
McCain Gets Punk’d
