You need to almost extend the time period out a bit more. I know it took me 2-3 years of applying for jobs to get in eventually. I'd be curious if people found they had to have a longer period.
It took me about 7 months to get the phone call from Pandemic half way through last year.
It was a great place to work, but unfortunately all too brief (for well published reasons). It took me about another four months before I found my second job.
Well done tho those who were able to score straight away.
From the time I started posting a completed folio to getting the job. I'd say it took 4 months.
keep in mind though. the interview was done on the 2nd month. it just took 2 more for all the bits and bobs to pass through before I could officially work.
It took me about 6 years to get into the industry, from sending my first batch of applications all over the world to squeezing my foot through the door of a local QA department. Persistence and luck play a part in scoring any job, but I'd strongly advise newbies to network with people in the industry. They will be more inclined to give you a leg up when junior positions become available, and might make your journey less drawn out than mine.

6 years and a spin of the wheel

Wow, you've certainly got my admiration for sticking it out for so long!
Damn man... and I thought I
Damn man... and I thought I slugged it out for a long time. I graduated from QANTM and it took me 4 years (had to relocate to Melbourne too :P )
