how to tackle the job search with content w/ dan digangi, eng manager
guest: dan digangi, engineering manager at postmark (active campaign)
- during a layoff, double or triple your usual job search effort since timelines are running much longer than before
- inmail messages tend to feel spammy, so add a short direct note when sending a connection request instead
- when networking goes cold, try reaching out to people outside your immediate function like sales or product, not just engineering peers
- build a personal story bank of specific project details and accomplishments so you aren't caught off guard in interviews
- posting honest content about your layoff and job search can create unexpected connections, so put yourself out there even imperfectly
