A little over a month ago, I graduated from the Quality Assurance course at TripleTen. Since then, I’ve started my job search, but so far I haven’t had any luck. I’ve received several emails declining my application, saying they’re moving forward with other candidates, but not a single phone call for an interview.
So far, I haven’t found the tools provided by TripleTen to be useful—these are things I can do on my own. I applied to the Externship program a while ago, and the response was that there’s a waiting list and I just have to keep waiting. I don’t know for how long, or where I stand on that list, so I have no idea of my position.
I feel frustrated because most job postings require experience that I don’t have, and there’s no one to help me with that. For the Money-Back Guarantee program, I’m required to attend meetings that are supposed to help me find a job, but the information can easily be found on the internet. All it does is waste time without offering real alternatives like networking opportunities or connections to companies that are hiring. We’re expected to do everything on our own
Hi Maria,
This is Ksenia from the TripleTen team. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being open about your experience. We understand how challenging the job search process can be, especially early on, and we’re sorry to hear that you’re feeling frustrated.
During regular meetings with our career team, students can not only work on their resumes and job search strategies but also review their application funnels to better understand why they might be facing rejections and how they can adjust their strategy to improve their chances of landing interviews. Additionally, we're testing a new service and introducing placement coordinators, who build relationships with employers to help connect graduates with companies. This makes it easier for graduates to gain direct access to hiring managers and secure interview invitations more quickly.
We’re also actively working on reducing externship wait times by engaging new companies and projects, and we expect to eliminate the waitlist in the near future — so that all our graduates can add a new project to their portfolio.
Our team is here to help you, and we'd love to connect directly to better understand your situation and explore how we can assist you further. Please reach out to me directly at kpetriaeva@tripleten.com, and we can discuss next steps.
Thanks, Ksenia.
