state of the economy w/ the jobfather, jermaine murray
guest: jermaine murray, career coach and technical recruiter known as the jobfather
- treat your goals as abstract but firm, stay flexible on the path you take to reach them
- a resume that is too long can hurt you, cut it down so a busy hiring manager will actually read it
- if you cannot land your target role right away, take an adjacent job like qa or business analyst that builds skills toward it
- look beyond typical tech companies and consider startups and older established companies that still rely heavily on tech
- stay flexible on relocation and contracting, and keep networking and building community to create opportunities
