Why You Aren't Getting That Job Offer

Hi! I’m Robby. I have a Master’s in Computer Science, but even I spent months sending out hundreds of job applications without getting a single "yes." It was frustrating and lonely.

I kept getting interviews, but I couldn't seem to seal the deal. I finally realized that if you are getting interviews but no offers, it’s not your resume—it’s your interview performance.

Here are the two things that finally changed the game for me.

1. Practice Makes Perfect (Mock Interviewing)

Most people just study LeetCode problems alone in their room. That’s not enough! Doing problems on your own is different from explaining them out loud to a human.

  • Find a partner: Grab a friend or join an online community to practice with.
  • Speak out loud: When you solve a problem, talk through your thought process. This is what interviewers actually care about.
  • Get feedback: You need someone to tell you if you are rushing or not explaining your code clearly.

Mock interviewing is the fastest way to get comfortable. Once I started doing this, my confidence skyrocketed.

2. The "Cheat Code": Building a Personal Brand

This is the secret that most new grads ignore. Building projects for your portfolio is great, but it’s not enough if nobody sees them.

If you just put code on GitHub, it’s like burying treasure in your backyard. No one is going to find it!

Here is how you fix that:

  • Post your progress: Every time you finish a feature, write a short post about it on LinkedIn or X (Twitter).
  • Show, don’t just tell: Record a 30-second video of your app actually working.
  • Be consistent: Share what you learned, what was hard, and how you solved the problem.

When you share your work, you stop "chasing" jobs. Instead, recruiters start sending you DMs because they see you have the skills. It turns the job hunt from a cold, scary process into a path where opportunities come to you.

The Bottom Line

If you want to land your first tech role, stop just applying and start leveling up your communication and your public presence. These two shifts took me from failing interviews to building real-world AI systems. You can do this too!
