a small portion of the students are hyper-motivated and naturally predisposed to working professionally. they probably had like 3 internships, are presidents of a club, etc. these guys get the six figure entry level salaries with Google, Apple, MS, etc
the rest of you have to work hard to bridge that gap. that means pursuing certifications, self-teaching new skills, networking with everyone you know, practicing interview skills, getting out of your comfort zone and going to industry meetup type events, having people critique your resume, etc.you may also have to consider doing contract work, taking a "lesser" job that will get you to the type of job you want in the future, contacting recruiters, etc.
basically you have to hustle, that's the nature of working for most people in 2018
The bold seems about right. I know people who got 6 figure jobs and people with great internships who have told me they can't believe how easy it is to be successful and I'm just like...
lol
I think you have to be a special type of go-getter person to actually make 100k at your first job.
so did the people who you know who got these jobs have relevant experience (an internship, for instance) but you don't have that experience?
that's more than them just being in the right place at the right time, if so ---
But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
