I recently graduated from a pretty top-tier engineering school and received a B.S. in computer science. Looking for jobs has never been so frustrating. I've worked in two different startups my 3rd and 4th year of college, with my second internship being directly relevant to web development/front-end engineering (which is what I want to get into). I'm looking in the San Francisco area, by the way.
I've gathered a list of websites that I use to find jobs:
- Indeed
- Dice
- SimplyHired
- Glassdoor
- Stackoverflow Jobs
When I type in key words such as Junior Front-end Engineers
, either Software Engineer
or Senior Front-end Engineers
pop up. I've applied to 100+ tech companies where a Front-end Engineer
position does pop up, but I'm getting rejected left and right because obviously I don't have 3-5+ years of industry experience.
My question is, am I not looking in the right places? Are my key words phrased incorrectly? Or are there just not a lot of junior front-end engineering positions available?

. Is your CS program in your Engineering Department where you graduated? Throwing the wordEngineer
around could potentially make you more marketable.
