handling an uncertain market w/james quick
guest: james quick, developer, speaker, and content creator
- when you get laid off, resist posting a generic update and instead lean on relationships you already built in your community
- share your work consistently on twitter, discord, or a blog so people can verify your skills before you ever apply
- treat content as proof for your resume claims, since anyone can watch your videos or read your posts and see if the skill is real
- if a recruiter or contact does not respond, follow up with empathy a couple more times instead of sending canned repeated messages
- ask your employer for time and resources to learn new things rather than assuming all growth has to happen on unpaid personal time
