staying positive in your job search w/ bree hall, developer advocate
guest: bree hall, developer advocate
- when job searching keep a running list of questions you missed in interviews and study those gaps before the next one
- a non-dev first job like client support can still build skills like empathy and real examples that help you land a dev role later
- mindset matters in a tough search, focus on doing one small improvement a day instead of trying to do everything at once
- don't be afraid to ask interviewers questions about the process or to negotiate things beyond salary like remote days or tools
- don't search alone, surround yourself with a positive community since comparing yourself to others online can hurt your confidence
