dealing with this downturn (solo show)
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- in a tough market, mix mass applying with one or two intentional networking calls or messages a day
- stand out to recruiters by communicating consistently, following up, and staying flexible when they ask you to do something
- text or email recruiters instead of calling since they are in meetings most of the day
- post content and engage publicly even as a junior developer so recruiters and hiring managers can find you
- if you keep getting rejected, ask interviewers directly for feedback and how many candidates are in the process
