I can't even get technical interviews. No one writes back.

June 15, 2020


Struggling to get your foot in the door?

Forget about CVs and applications for a moment.

💡 Start small: go for startups.

They are willing to take risks and hire ‘underdogs’.

💡 Be genuine: don’t apply, build relationships.

Follow their CTOs here and on Twitter.

What technology do they use? Why?

💡 Get involved: study their GitHub.

They usually have some piece of open source.

Help out with open issues.

With documentation and reporting.

Stand out.

It is not about being better, it is about being different.

When was the last time you ‘stood out’?





Stay cool,
Dragos
