Close to graduating… but can’t even land a single interview 😢 am I missing something?
I’m currently on my 9th course in OMSA and doing the A-track. Been applying to Data Science, Analytics, Forecasting, and almost anything analyst related, but honestly no luck so far 😢
Been a month and half , Applied to almost 250 jobs already and most of them either say “we decided to move with another candidate” or just completely ghost me. Not even a single interview yet.
This is really starting to hit me mentally because I came from different background (Transportation Engineering) and switched into Analytics. I really worked hard in this program and now I’m close to finishing, but seeing rejection or silence every single day is becoming exhausting.🥲🥲
For people who successfully switched from a completely different field into Analytics/DS, how did you do it? What strategy actually worked for you?
For context: I’m On A-track(took HDDA, Bayesian, Sim, etc.) and a Us Citizen.
Is the market really this bad right now or am I doing something wrong? Would genuinely appreciate advice from people who went through similar transition.
Thank you all ❤️
