- languages like python and java are in high demand for data processing, and messaging tools like kafka and rabbit mq are hot skills to pick up
- if someone does not reply to your first message, follow up again since recruiters often need two or three messages before responding
- networking does not require meeting everyone at an event, picking one or two people to intentionally connect with is enough
- record a short selfie style video introducing yourself and add it to the featured section on linkedin to stand out to recruiters
