Anyone have tips on how to maximize call backs? I’m sitting at a 1% ratio with 300 applications and 3 responses. I just hacked together a full stack project using Java Spring Boot and React to slap on my resume. I have 2 YOE in Python Web Development and Automation. Any other suggestions?
Referrals, referrals, referrals.
How do I meet others in the tech industry? I’m cool with my coworkers but I honestly have no one else who could refer me to some other company. My coworkers have tried to ask their network for opportunities for me but it’s been a bust.
Meetups, conferences, join Slack groups that are active in your city... put yourself our there, be willing to help others
Go to tech meet ups. Meetup.com.
Use async/await instead.

Google CFO confirms 'large-scale' layoffs (Apr 17)
Take those hacked up projects, throw them on your github, and put a link to your github on your resume. Those projects do not deserve their own section. You’ll need a referral from a friend who can speak kindly about your skills. NG just isn’t the type of branding that looks good on a resume.
Yup, I’ve done the first part. And dang, I was planning on hosting one of them once I finished for demo purposes on AWS but is that not a good idea? I agree that NG is barely a household name.
It’s not that it’s not a household name, for example is “databricks” a household name? Problem is Recruiters and HMs need to pull in people that will pass HC, and odds of that happening are hugely increased with someone from a SW company. The problem with defense is the hiring bar is extremely low. Odds are that they won’t be able to pass TPS and are just ignored. You need a friend at one of these companies you want to work for to vouch for you.
