Ritvika Nagula, a senior software engineer at Microsoft Azure, received four job offers shortly after graduation in December 2018. She actively applied to numerous companies through various platforms, including LinkedIn and Indeed, and utilized her networking skills to ensure her resume reached hiring managers. Nagula advises engineers to focus on their resumes, emphasizing individual projects and relevant work experience first. She believes that while cold applications may not always be effective, a strong resume can make a difference, and she found cover letters to be less critical in her job search.

Networking played a crucial role in Nagula's job search, as she actively connected with people on LinkedIn to ensure her resume reached decision-makers.
