I don't know if pestering someone with 4-5 emails is going to make them want to work with you.

I'd be extremely curious to know what your GPA and internship experience were when you graduated. For you current job, did you contact a manager or senior engineer directly?

I can't argue with results, but I strongly disagree with your approach to contacting people. I'd also point out that 3.65 + relevant experience is a pretty strong resume.

Agree 100 % that for new graduates online applications are a black hole unless you have an amazing resume. Like I said I can't argue with results, although I personally would be less aggressive.
