Job Search Bootcamp

My yield was low. Less than five percent of companies responded to me. I was throwing applications into a black hole. Everything changed when one of my cohort-mates, a former recruiter, shared a guide to the job search. He told us to send emails directly to real people with each application. It could be anybody. As long as someone read it. From then on, whenever I submitted an application, I searched for the company on LinkedIn and emailed someone on their engineering or hiring team.

For most small companies or C-level executives, the email format is usually firstName dreamCompany. For larger companies, it may be firstName. To verify emails, I used Rapportive to cross-check emails with social media accounts. The results were amazing. It also felt great to hear from real people. Sometimes they even interviewed me themselves.

You will face Level 1 interviews a non-tech company that needs any dev , where interviewers ask you nothing more than JavaScript trivia.

I strategically set up my process so that I had lower-level interviews earlier, and higher-level interviews later on. Early on, I gained experience, built confidence, and secured offers from companies that had less intensive interviews. This is illustrated below as a linear correlation between the number of weeks I was into the process and the base salary I was offered.

I unlocked tougher questions. I unlocked higher salaries. See the details below! If you want a promotion within the first year, you need to get off to a fast start.

getting the interview

Watch all the things. These things are worth thousands and are all free on youtube. Focus in particular on raw javascript, aka everything that Kyle Simpson teaches all available on frontend masters, or you can read his free YDKJS book but i prefer the video. Even if you think you already know some stuff, LOOK for the things that you skimmed over or only sorta kinda know. I didnt focus on it and probably did badly on all of them. Podcasts like Software Engineering Daily and some Youtube channels help to explain them how real companies do it but absorbing all that info is hit and miss because it is so unstructured.

I did try to though. Set a reasonable deadline 1 week or 1 month and then just build your idea as best as you can by that deadline. Resist the urge to perfect it. Just get it to launch, then get feedback. Build fun stuff, or explorations, or clones. Try max big new libraries each time to see how you like them. This can include contributing to open source.
