discovering your super power w/ heather downing
guest: heather downing, senior developer advocate at okta
- look for contractors who communicate quickly and clearly since patience and clarity matter more than raw skill
- it is okay to say you dont know something as a contractor and offer to research it if the client pays for that time
- time box your interview schedule so the job search does not take over every day of your week
- stay in touch with former coworkers since they often become the ones who refer you to your next job
- when asking a manager for help, bring what you have already done and what you plan to do next so they can just say yes or no
