I began applying to full-time data analyst positions after finishing my degree in August 2017. I wasn't too
sure where to start, and took about a month to really know how to seek the right positions. I interned
part-time in San Diego for Data Analytics from Nov 2017 to March 2018, which I applied to cold. Since
this was unpaid, I also worked part-time sales at Best Buy during the holidays, then full-time sales in
2018. I honestly became tired of continuously applying to full-time positions I wasn't getting. I probably
actually interviewed for about 5. By Feb 2018, my actively applying had decreased significantly. More
recruiters actually started contacting me, which is how I got the position I'm in today! It's full-time
contracted for Business Information Analytics.

Both places I had internships offered me full-time employment as well as another company. It was ease
of mind to know I would be employed.
I didn't find the job I was looking for.
I only had this opportunity due to my contact in the Department of Housing & Human Services.
Applied to 7 or 8 jobs total. 1 formal rejection, 3 interview offers. Went to 2 of the interviews. Offered a
job at both companies, accepted the first offer after negotiating with both companies. I had 3
internships, 1 summer, one short term, and one 2 year internship. These turned out to be far more
important than anything I did in school, including academic research. I accepted the offer in March of
2016 and started that July after a month of travelling.
I used the USAJobs government website in order to search for a position.
I interned for two summers at organizations in my field, both of which expressed interest in me for
further employment, and then interned in my senior fall and spring at a third organization. I applied to
two other organizations and received one offer. I took the offer from the organization I was interning
with at the time and am still employed there.

I didn't give up. I kept looking even after getting rejections.

Worked with on campus recruiting to recruit for finance positions. Had interviews on campus and
received offers from those interviews.
applied to a junior summer internship and got converted to full-time.
I was confident that I wanted to eventually get a PhD, so I wanted a research position that would help
me prepare. I looked at many research positions and ended up getting a position at Harvard Business
School, largely because of my previous social science research experience.
