I have applied my ass off recently and have recently felt demotivated by it all, around 50 applications, not one singular call back... until today! I received an email that a company I applied to (part time QA Tester Internship, relevant to my CS major). It's aerospace, which is sort of a dream industry for me to work in. I've always wanted NASA but would settle for any Aerospace company, and while this is more consulting, I'm still happy!
I'm nervous and I do have absolutely ZERO experience QA Testing, so I don't think I'll get it but I miss 100% of the shots I don't take, so I plan on doing this interview and seeing where it goes. I also will say, I hate the idea of having less free time tbh, I don't know the hour requirements and I already spend quite a bit of time in class and doing assignments, and I really enjoy my downtime, and I hate the idea of giving that away. I am trying to swallow that mighty pill of what I lose, because it pays quite well for my area. Not super great, but $1/hr more than most fast food places around me, BUT it's way more relevant to my major and might benefit, especially if they offer me a full-time job after college, which judging from their LinkedIn isn't unlikely if I get an offer. Again, I doubt I'll get it but I wanted to share because I felt like I was drowning at 50 applications, not one callback. This has reinvigorated home in me. It helps that it's also in my town I'm living in now, which means I don't have to temporarily move during the summer.
Anyways, thanks for allowing me to share and reading if you read all that!
