    • How'd I get my jobs in the STEM field? | Ep. 02

      Doesn't it feel like the only people that post on LinkedIn are the ones who just got a new job offer? Seeing those posts when you're deep in the job search can be frustrating... to say the least. In this episode, we talk about the hiring processes for various roles - from internship positions to experienced hire roles. If you're currently in the search, we hope this may help give you an idea of where you can look to find positions and what you should expect during the process. Hopefully, it won't be long before you stop rolling your eyes every time you see a new hire LinkedIn announcement... but then again, does anyone scroll by those posts without doing that?
