mindset in the job search w/ jasmine vo
guest: jasmine vo
- after getting laid off, take time to actually process it instead of jumping straight back into work the next week
- treat a layoff as a transition, not a personal failure, since company funding and budget issues are rarely about you
- if you like structure, college can help, but self-paced routes like 100devs can get you into tech in a few months
- block off set hours each day to network and learn, just like you would treat a 9 to 5 job
- find a mentor early so you learn about career paths you don't know exist instead of just following the path others expect
