<p>Through every step of acquiring a new job you are telling a story. The story needs to make sense through each of the steps on it's own while still leaving opportunity to learn more through the next steps.</p>
<h2>Job Search</h2>
<p>The process that we go through for finding a job is always changing due to both our experience, and evolution of the world around us. Early on in your career you will certainly be taking an active part in finding and submitting for job listings. Recruiters will openly admit that they aren't even hired to fill entry or junior level development positions. This means that you will have to be reading through listings and deciding what positions you are interested in and can possibly interview for.</p>
<p>If you don't check all the boxes it doesn't mean that you can't get the job. Job descriptions are wish lists. The perfect candidate would have everything listed, but the odds of that happening in the budget provided are often quite small.</p>
Expand Down Expand Up @@ -30,3 +80,29 @@ <h2>Networking</h2>
<p>There are two vastly different schools of thought on professional networking. On one end you have people that are looking to make contact with as many people as possible in hopes that someone will be able to help them. On the other end you have people that want to have a small network of people that they know very well. I don't believe that either is entirely wrong. Ultimately networking is just forming of relationships in your chosen profession. The people that tend toward more connections are likely to identify someone that can help them with their goals. The person that has fewer, but stronger connections is much more likely to be thought of when one of those people hears about a position that might fit them.</p>
<p>When it comes to networking online, you will most likely find yourself utilizing LinkedIn, and if you aren't sure about how to make your LinkedIn profile appealing then there is a free course on YouTube by Danny Thompson that will help. I personally try to look at LinkedIn daily. When I meet someone and want to stay in touch with them then I go and send them a connection request right then. It's important to maintain your network throughout your career and not just when you are looking for a job.</p>
<p>If you can find an in person meetup group in your area that is usually the best means of networking, and you can be learning things at the same time. If not then you can always find groups online. There are virtual meetups as well as discord and slack communities that can be really helpful in your learning and networking.</p>
