How to approach finding some kind of employment in software, given that I've been looking for a job worldwide since April last year, but haven't found one yet?<p>I'm open to any software or IT position. Furthermore, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science in April 2023, and I'm currently based in Central Europe.<p>I'm skilled in C/C++, Python, and JavaScript. I also have experience with Rust, Scala 3, and the Play framework. Furthermore, I'm familiar with the Windows API (C/C++), SDL2, Qt 5, and Vue.js. Additionally, I have basic skills in Racket and Clojure.
Also, I have a good enough mathematical understanding (linear algebra, 3D math etc.) and wrote basic software rasterizes and ray tracers. A simple neural network (learning XOR).<p>To avoid having gaps in my resume, I'm willing to work for free in remote positions. I prefer working without pay rather than being inactive any longer.
If it needs to be on-site, then I will at least enough money to cover my basic needs (e.g., rent etc.).<p>So what are my options that can help me to avoid any further gaps in my resume?
I am already in a bad position given my unemployment gap of 1 year.<p>Doing a master's or doing another degree is financially not feasible for me, for now.<p>I am running out of options, and based on the rejections so far, it seems like I will never find some kind of employment…<p>Any kind of tip on how to proceed from here, or even an offer is appreciated.
Wait a couple hours and jump in the monthly hiring threads.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring">https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring</a>
