Ask HN: Who's Hiring, Hire Me (Entry Level)

1 points by nate_robo 10 years ago | 4 comments

I'm a recent graduate of Ithaca College where I studied Computer Science. Looking for an entry-level position within the Greater New York City area. I've had a tough time locating entry-level positions which also don't require 3+ years of industry experience? With a lack of a personal network in the area being I'm originally from PA my search has been limited to online boards etc. and I'm having a tough time hearing back from most places.

There is an oficial "Who is hiring" post the first day of each month. Post like this are usually ignored of flagged.

Wait a week+ and repost this in the correct thread.

"Wait a week+ and repost this in the correct thread."

Just to clarify, the thread for job seekers to post their information in is the monthly "who wants to be hired" post:

The "who is hiring" post is where employers post their job ads.

There's also a posting for freelancers:

All these threads are automatically created on the first business day of each month.

"Who is hiring" threads aren't useful for finding entry jobs. There are usually around two companies hiring for entry roles. I have tried applying for every one of them, and have never received a reply.
