from car salesman to software dev
guest: david, software developer, former car salesman
- message hiring managers directly on linkedin instead of commenting on their posts, since commenting just creates more competition for you
- if you have experience in an industry like car sales or healthcare, target tech companies serving that same industry for your first dev job
- build a real support system or mentor outside social media who actually knows you, not just quick calls or viral advice
- pace your job interviews and give yourself real rest, since burning out on back to back interviews hurts your performance
- check linkedin for existing connections at a company before applying, since a real referral can speed up the process a lot
