Find all the who's hiring threads on hacker news. I remember seeing at least a few interesting positions in Canada.
Buy the book "What color is your parachute". A lot of people swear by it. Personally I was too shy to find it of much use.
Look for jobs on the Joel on software job board, and the 37 signals job board.
Start an interesting blog about your programming passions.
.. just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
- yourfriend 16y agoDone, code spit interviews from hiring threads here on HN - very poor approach. I can point out but I would rather not. Thanks for other suggestions! will try them.
- tocomment 16y agoWhat are code spit interviews? What was a poor approach? Just curious.
- yourfriend 16y agoPardon me for inventing that word without realizing. By code spit interview, I meant interviews based on code exchange over phone, then without any kind of feedback what-so-ever, saying we can't proceed. Code in question was really trivial something along the lines of calculating primes, I consider it a poor approach to judge a candidate.
- Hovertruck 16y agoI had a similar experience after applying for a job through HN, with the difference being I was never told we can't proceed... or anything, for that matter.
- eliot_sykes 16y agoCan't comment on the parachute book, but have read "Don't Send a Resume" which if memory serves has good advice on how to get an employer's attention.
