- build your linkedin profile first since hiring managers and recruiters spend their time there, not just on job boards
- message hiring managers directly with three clear reasons why they should talk to you instead of only relying on applications
- volunteer for nonprofits or churches to build real portfolio projects since that experience never expires and also builds your network
- skip generic clone projects like an instagram clone and build something unique you can explain in detail during interviews
- tailor your resume to match each job posting's key terms since ats software filters out resumes that dont hit enough keywords
