• If you've read this far, you shouldn’t miss the story of how it all began...
• I moved to the US for my Masters at 29 and the hustle for job search hit me really hard.
• This is despite me graduating from World's Top University for Computer Science
• The only advice I kept hearing was "Keep Applying" and that’s not comforting advice.
• I had already applied to 150+ jobs by then and applying more only felt daunting.
• I tried everything from Auto filling chrome extensions to AI Auto Apply services but nothing worked seamlessly and it is still a huge problem to manually apply.
• So I decided to hire a college student from India and then trained him to apply to jobs on my behalf.
• Guess what? 800 applications and multiple coffee chats later, I got interview calls from 5 different employers.
• Things moved forward and many many interview rounds later, I finally converted them into 2 job offers.
• One of those two job offers was from the applications that the intern had applied to and another one was from my personal networking efforts, which wouldn't have been possible had I continued applying to jobs all by myself.
• It was such a revelation that I decided to start this as a service first under the name ApplyatScale.com to help people get out of this job hunt trauma.
• With time I started receiving more interest than I anticipated from jobseekers. So I expanded my team, built tech and made what it is today scale.jobs
• And incase you would like to know more, DM me or visit www.scale.jobs
