- rewrite a resume that has not changed in years, since old formats stop getting callbacks even with strong experience
- do not be afraid to let a resume run two or three pages if it is tailored and highlights specific tech and accomplishments
- clean up your linkedin headline and attach skills to each job so recruiter searches for your title actually surface your profile
- get involved in online communities and groups even when not job hunting, since those relationships can lead to referrals and tips later
- follow up after every interview and rejection with a thank you, since hiring managers keep track of who to call first for the next opening
