- give yourself time after a layoff before applying so you make decisions from a calm place, not fight or flight
- write a smart goal for your job search with a clear timeline instead of a vague target like just get hired
- figure out your strengths and where you show up most competitively before you start applying anywhere
- share your impact publicly, not just daily coding reps, so companies can verify your skills before they even talk to you
- turn on open to work and build a strong linkedin profile so recruiters and hiring managers find you first
