- expect a no mans land after bootcamp where you have to build your own structure for job search, networking and projects
- choose a bootcamp with real structure and accountability instead of picking the cheapest option
- send personalized linkedin connection requests referencing something specific from the persons profile to boost response rates
- always reply to recruiters even to decline, since responding back is a small effort that builds goodwill and future opportunities
- track every job you apply to in a spreadsheet so you can revisit rejections and reapply when new openings come up
