I’m an old computer scientist, so my days of being a fresh out of college unemployed graduate long long ago, these days I have some input into the recruitment process and we do occasionally take new grads on .

The kinds of grads we like are not necessarily the ones who got the best scores from there University, but the ones who use their time productively. if you’ve been using this time, while you’re not profitably employed to create new wonders and invent things, there’s a chance that some of the technologies that you are investigating might be the kinds of things we need. It’s also possible that your continued study will open new doors and inform potential employment that you were not previously prepared for.

in other words, you need to get out and do stuff. create a portfolio of work and when you are ready for your next interview. dazzle people with your creativity.
