[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS will graduate from Virginia Tech in a few weeks. He plays golf three times a week at the Pete Dye River Course, which is about 20 minutes from the Virginia Tech campus. He is a very good golfer, but not quite good enough to play for Virginia Tech.  He met several important people at that golf course, including the CTO of a startup AI tech company. DS played golf with him several times whenever the CTO came to Blacksburg. Recently, DS received a job offer from that AI company because of his relationship with the CTO.  He sent out 900 resumes, received two interviews, and got zero offers. After asking the CTO for help, he was hired almost immediately.  He will be moving to San Jose in about two months. It’s not what you know, but who you know.

Golf is the key to networking.[/quote]

Every single golf thread there is this gold pro posting some outlandish story.

Why in the world would a Valley CTO be in Blacksburg playing golf? That’s hilarious. [/quote]

My question is why did this kid get rejected by 900 companies?

I know many kids that graduated from VA tech in 2025, and are still looking for jobs.  The job market today is not the same as like four years ago.[/quote]
