𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗖𝗦𝗖 𝘅 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲! Three years ago, I joined the Computer Science Club (CSC) at Pitt with no idea what a tech internship even was. I quickly discovered the club's many resources for job searching – including the now-famous summer tech internships repo. This list, along with the club’s support, gave me everything I needed to land a software engineering internship my freshman year. Now, as a rising senior and the president of PittCSC, I’m super pumped to be working with Simplify to take this resource to the next level. With Simplify's help, we’re adding these features: 🚀 New jobs scraped & added within hours of posting 💌 Daily/weekly email digests for postings 🍂 Off-season internships and co-ops (fall/winter/spring) ⚡ Faster and easier contribution process HUGE thank you to everyone who made all of this possible - can’t wait to keep working with Simplify.

I got my startup its first thousand users by handing out 25,000 Squid Game-themed business cards. When I first launched Simplify in October of 2021, getting our first users was extremely tough. We had a hard time convincing job seekers to sign up for what seemed like “just another job site” and we didn't have the money to run paid ads. After watching Squid Game on Netflix, I had the idea of printing out business cards from the show with our branding on the back – and sliding them under doors on college campuses in the middle of the night. The vision was to capitalize on the virality of the show to get some eyeballs on our site. My cofounders and I drove to over a dozen colleges to sneak into dorms and slide over 25,000 business cards under doors. It was time-consuming and our backs hurt for days – but it was exactly the type of jumpstart we needed to get our platform off the ground. Today, Simplify has grown to help over half a million users discover and apply to 35 million jobs - and we’re still firm believers in scrappy growth strategies like this one! 🚀🚀

Here’s how to save hundreds of hours when applying to jobs: ~~~ P.S. The tool is Simplify

Quick PSA: The number of applicants you see on LinkedIn’s Job Posts ARE NOT actual applicants who APPLIED. This means that jobs that say “over 100 applicants” could be much less. That # is only able to tell if people clicked on the link to apply, regardless if they submitted their application. This is why it’s still important to apply, even if there are a lot of applicants! ~~~ Spending too much time applying for jobs? I built a free chrome extension that autofills your job applications and helps you tailor your resume. Check it here: https://simplify.jobs/

As most of you know, I've been applying for full-time jobs for after my current contract ends. Online applications are kind of tedious. You have to enter the same information on every site in a slightly different form. I just found and have started using Simplify. It's a free browser extension that has a fantastic resume builder and can fill in all of the info automatically on job websites. It has saved me hours of time! I really appreciate what Michael Yan and crew have built here! (Psst! If you're still reading this, are you looking to hire an experienced technical writer?) https://simplify.jobs/
