Thank you for your reply. I'm based in the U.S. I also have Bulgarian citizenship, and apparently there is a boom in tech jobs there at the moment, so I had actually tried looking for internships there as well. One job posting really appealed to me, because the company primarily uses C and I had just completed two Programming courses that were taught in it so I thought it would be an excellent opportunity in particular. They invited me for an interview and gave me a quiz on C towards the end, but most of the questions were on concepts we were never taught in my classes. Needless to say, I bombed it pretty hard and they then e-mailed me that I could not move further in the hiring process because of my results. Not quite sure why they made their final decision based on such a quiz, when they told me during the interview itself that I would go through training courses for C if hired. I figured Bulgaria would not suffer from the Catch-22 of experience like in the U.S. did, but maybe I was mistaken.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about building a relationship with professors? I hear about it alot but I'm still quite puzzled on how exactly to do it. I've started going to my professors for help alot more these past two semesters, but it still hasn't left me with any meaningful connection with any of them. (I also have struggled with socializing, although I have made some improvements, so perhaps that is another reason why I am confused on how exactly to go about it. Does it involve starting to talk to them about things outside of academics and when should I do that, in that case?)

How does one post their projects on their resume? I've been worried whether posting links on it looks professional or not, and whether or not I should just write sections summarizing what they are about in that case.

Thanks again!
