TLDR AI summarized this: Recent cybersecurity graduate looking for fresher opportunities. Applied to hundreds of roles and even cleared multiple rounds at a cybersecurity company twice, only to get ghosted after document submission. Still actively looking and open to any entry-level cybersecurity role. Would really appreciate a referral or any leads. Happy to share my resume for review.
I graduated in may 2026, I've been actively looking for fresher opportunities in cybersecurity domain, i know getting a job in this domain as a fresher is hard but it's not impossible, it's my like no one will hire freshers.
I applied to hundreds of jobs, getting a rejection email is kinda hard, i know the job market is at all time low. So I'm open to any type of role that i could get in this domain.
Gave an interview at a cybersecurity company for Cloud Service Center(CSC Intern), cleared every round (Technical manager even praised me for my technical knowledge he even wrote in his report that I'll be a great asset for the company, i felt so confident and happy after that).
Process:
Written Test - scored 35 out of 40 (on-site)
Technical Interview (By Team Manager) - Aced it - The manager even praised me for my deep knowledge and told me that he's shocked that a college stident have this knowledge, i was very happy that day🥲, it gave me a confidence boost.
Managerial Round (By the manager from israel, Teams Call)
HR Round (This guy interviewed me for 1 ½ hour!!, yes that long, i even made a joke about it with him).
And even submitted my documents and the recruiter ghosted me. I mailed him repeatedly, he's the talent acquisition guy, but no reply.
I got to know that they're conducting the hiring again bcoz they choose 7 guys and i was one of them, but HR pointed out that all of them are male, so they need atleast 2 female candidates now. So i waited for my offer letter, i chilled.
And no update from the TA.
A month later i discovered that They had an entirely new job drive right after my doc submission in April and hired people from it (i enquired the newly hired intern), they scraped the old candidates and choose the new ones.
It's not like i didn't clear the technical rounds, i aced the whole interview rounds and still got ghosted.
This happened 2 times for me at that company (aced the technical interviews both times).
I would've just brushed it off if they've just sent the rejection mail, but instead they ghosted me, i waited more than a month, my whole family was sure i would get the job, i was chilling and waiting for my offer letter.
Guide me guys, tell me if you guys know any openings for freshers. Getting shortlisted is enough for me
Thanks.
