a tough last year so let's talk about it w/ david neal sr dev advocate
guest: david neal, sr dev advocate
- expect interview requirements like unpaid take-home projects to sometimes be unreasonable and it is ok to decline them
- take real time off to sit down and figure out what actually brings you joy before jumping back into a job search
- if you are struggling after a layoff or tough year, consider talking to a counselor instead of pushing through alone
- make a list of companies you would actually love to work for and reach out directly, even if they have no posted openings
- getting involved in public speaking or community work builds skills and connections that can directly lead to future jobs
