doing the job before you get the job w/ jason torres
guest: jason torres, host of the tech commute, former filmmaker now in developer advocacy and job search
- earn the job by doing the work before you get hired, just like apprenticeships in film or trade industries
- build genuine relationships early so people are willing to help you when you actually need it
- lead interviews by asking questions and building rapport instead of waiting to be asked things
- if you keep losing out on roles for the same reason, change your approach instead of repeating it
- find a personal reason to keep going since that will outweigh the frustration of rejection
