    Default Job woes

    This sucks. I can't seem to get a job doing Qt programming. I got rejected from KDAB due to lack of customer service experience. I apparently need a year of that. I applied at Nokia in Germany, through a mate that works there, but got rejected because lack of experience. He's going to see about any internship programme there. Since internships help you get experience entering a career path.

    Hopefully, they have a position opened up so I can do that. Hope to gawd there is. Because honestly I don't know any other option. Both my mate said that Nokia liked my code and nothing was wrong with it, KDAB said the same thing.

    3 years in Qt/C++? Thats very good. Telling you from my experience, Sometimes there is a wave of opportunities coming, and sometimes its a dry desert. Keep looking, you will be absorbed into a good job, only C++ skill will get you there.
