how do you sell yourself w/erik anderson, sr. software engineer at yum! brands
guest: erik anderson, sr. software engineer at yum! brands
- build experience by volunteering for nonprofits or small shops instead of waiting for someone to hand you a job
- log hours honestly on your resume so part time volunteer work does not read like a full time role
- optimize your linkedin headline, about section and skills with the specific keywords recruiters actually search like react or node
- spend time daily posting, commenting and engaging on linkedin since activity signals to the algorithm that you are responsive
- be intentional about telling your company what you want to work on so you do not get stuck as the expert in old tech you dont enjoy
