from layoff to job in 19 days w/ sr. engineer michael eaton
guest: michael eaton, senior engineer
- turn on the open to work signal immediately after a layoff instead of waiting around
- keep a simple tracker of every lead, referral source, recruiter, and interview stage so nothing slips through the cracks
- always follow up with recruiters and interviewers, even the ones who did not move forward, to leave a good impression
- build your network over years by staying in touch with former coworkers, speaking at events, and being active in online communities
- share what you know publicly so people come to you, rather than just consuming content and staying invisible
