Day 3
You have applications moving and a career center appointment booked. Today you deepen your pipeline by activating a channel most candidates overlook — your Georgia State alumni network. GSU CS alumni at Atlanta tech companies are a warm referral source that converts at a higher rate than cold applications. In parallel, check the Georgia DOL events calendar for upcoming tech hiring events. A 3-day job search with active applications, a career center appointment, community presence, and alumni outreach is a meaningfully stronger position than where you started Monday.
