@videofan14
@videofan14 24 дня назад
@eshw23 speaking positivity into existence. There's really power in the tongue. Don't limit yourself and doubt yourself even though it's easy to do so. Shift the mindset to be like I'm going to get a job this month, I'm going to ace this interview, etc As for networking, I really utilized Linkedin. You can also attend events but I'm such a homebody that I tend to flake those. Don't be like me. Anyway, Linkedin came on clutch! I would reach out to all kinds of people and connect and ask for some time to chat. I reached out to recruiters at companies I was interested in, people that had similar job titles I was interested in (so I could learn from them). If there was a position I was interested in applying to, I'd apply then I would find out the hiring manager or supervisor for that position and reach out for a chat. I also reached out to anybody working at the places I was interested in. It's good to put a name to a face and some can help with referral links or even move you through the process quicker.

Me too. That’s why I’m starting a Nursing postgraduate programme this September. The changing landscape of tech compelled me to seek a back-up career for long term security, a career where my skills will always be in high demand, globally. The plan is to use the nursing qualification as a foundation for other clinical specialisation, such as CRNA, NP, PA or Aesthetic (the culture of the world has changed- we’re now obsessed with looking youthful thanks to social media). Clinical aestheticians are more sort after (by people who prioritise safety) for invasive treatments than non clinical ones.

Great video and wish you the very best! You’ve got a sound approach which should be very effective. It’s not possible to be positive 100% of the time when it comes to job applications and interviews as it can be such a draining and time consuming task, so remember that it will all happen at the right time for you. There’s a job and contract with your name on it! Youve got this 🙏🏾

One of them even did it deliberately after I told him that such comments get to me. I have had enough experiences of my own, I do not need the wight of others, we all have ups and downs, but when I have a bad day I try not to spread my mood around...

I considered apply for a job teaching kids to code during lunch time and at after school clubs in my city. The entry requirements seemed way easier than most office based tech jobs in the sense that you're not required to understand a particular API or framework and don't have to build any practical real world applications but you do need to understand microcontrollers but the work hours are kinda short so it seems like a side hustle more than a full time job 🤔

I've been job hunting for 11 months (I do product management) and it's been a nightmare. I've gotten offers only for them to vanish because the role gets put on hold, the company ghosts me, etc. My suggestion to anyone job hunting is to focus primarily on networking vs. mass applying and shooting off your resume into the black void of the ATS systems. Networking/referrals really is the most effective and time-efficient way of getting interviews. I know there will be exceptions but that generally applies to superstar candidates who have worked at all the FAANG companies etc.

It sucks, because finally in my early 30's, which I don't think is remotely old, I have removed the negative self talk and have stability and finally actually programmed a few things, made a portfolio, had a 2 year course but... can't even get a Junior position, they are not willing to give any chances at all. Frankly, I don't know who's actually getting hired. Are 19-23 year olds without experience getting hired when Junior positions still require experience? I know 2 CS graduates that can't get a job as well... I never thought anything in the tech world would ever have a "down time", didn't when I was a kid, and most definitely don't think so now with all the tech we have. Sitting in front of your computer learning stuff is the common thing, when even a decade ago that was still considered pretty "nerdy".

People that are searching for tech jobs in big tech, you are missing the point: YOU, yes YOU are the Tech. Big tech is nothing more than a pile of managers. At any point in time YOU can decide to group together and start a new tech from scratch. Waste you time and energy to beg for a job in big tech or, waste your time and energy on your own tech company you are creating that over time will become big tech. Becoming tech is the easiest thing you can find in this world. Keyboard PC, compiler and editor and off you go. You don't even need enterprise tools, no cloud subscriptions, no jira, no collaboration tools. Start by creating a small program that does not require cloud or subscription for some local shops. Create what people want, programs that does not spy on you, that does not copy your data, that does not need endless subscriptions,......

I agree to have a good mindset and attitude and avoid negativity but there is a point where being positive can be another way of saying 'denial'. I say this as someone who is rooting for you to find something you'll enjoy doing. Also, in regards to learning A.I from experts at Google. Are they really the best choice out there? I mean, we are talking about the same company that had to take down their A.I because of the terrible images it made.

Underrated solution for software engineers = launch your own start up. AWS and azure offer more than $100,000 in credits to cover your infrastructure costs. In fact, launching a start-up might be less effort than spending 30-40h week on filling in forms, writing cover letters and applying for jobs.

@hl236 You'd have to put a lot of effort into thinking of a business idea for a start up. It's something I want to do in the future and not only do I have to understand tech for my idea but I also want to understand a bit about the finance side of business , working with private equity and so on plus thinking about how to actually be a good leader to potential employees.

Rule #1 NEVER quit a job, until you find another one.
@Bukola1
@Bukola1 24 дня назад
Well it really depends on your financial situation and life situation. Some people can afford to quit a job before finding another job because they have the savings to do so, or income producing side business.

Why are you job hunting? Is RU-vid not paying enough? If that is so with your following, then what hope is there for anyone trying to begin.

If you saw the first video the plan was always to go back to get a job! This was a 1 year break from work. RU-vid pays ok, 😎 lol But I've always made more from my tech job, plus the benefits like health insurance, retirement contribution ect. have so much value... content creation would need to make x2 more than I could get from a full time tech job... for it to make sense for me dedicate all of my energy to it full time, which right now for me it doesn't. Plus so many other personal factors make this a smart decision for me.

As someone that makes money on RU-vid, I would NEVER leave my job unless other opportunities from RU-vid arose. Views on channels decrease over time and your income is never steady, RU-vid has TOTAL control over your content, they could change their rules tomorrow, etc, etc. You have no control. The average content creator won’t make enough to live a comfortable life solely from RU-vid. It’s not the life the most assume
