Applying for jobs is a volume thing. Don't worry if you don't have specific skills or years of experience, let them assess that, just apply for any positions that seem interesting. Apply for a lot of jobs, have a github with side projects, even if they are half finished,that's fine if they have readmes. Get on Dice.com. Go to events when you have time and meet people. Don't give up.
- coroutines 11y agoI actually felt really bad about my Github after I started applying because most of the repos I had were forks of things I wanted to work on but hadn't gotten around to. I felt like I was taking credibility from others so I spent an afternoon deleting a lot of untouched inspiration. I do think applying for jobs is like throwing spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks - but it's such a waste of good pasta :( (I swear that's a metaphor with deep meaning) Anyway, I'll go look at dice.com right now, though :-) - my pool has been craigslist, indeed, linkedin, glassdoor, assembly, caljobs, and.. I know there are a few others :s This might be an unpopular opinions but I sort of wish there were just a government-run site for posting your resume and connecting you with companies. If I ever do get hired I'm sure identity theft is soon to follow from all my applications :(
