state of the market & how to stand out
guest: dan digangi, software engineering manager, velocity team at activecampaign
- connect with every person you interview with, even after a rejection, since you could move up the list if other candidates fall through
- when job searching, reach out to second and third degree connections instead of only asking first degree contacts for referrals
- look beyond big name companies since startups often hire people with less experience and offer fast skill growth
- during interviews, turn the q&a into a conversation by tying your answers and questions back to your own relevant experience
- connect with recruiters at target companies with no note, then post content regularly so they see your work in their feed over time
