#applying just randomly with no referral will rarely get you an interview :(

[kitkatcodes]

✧.* some job searching advice *ೃ༄

I haven't coded in many manyy days oops BUT I have spent that time updating my resume and writing cover letters to send to some of my friends who are helping me with internal referrals!

Here's some job searching stuff I learned:

Most people get interviews because of connections/friends

Ask anyone and everyone you can for an internal referral (ask nicely ofc)

Once they submit the referrals make sure you start researching and learning about the company and what they do

If they have a specific product, make an account and play with it

Make a list of things you like about the service and things you would change

Recruiters/Interviewers LOVE to hear what you know and think about the companies product it gives you a HUGE adv over others

I know it feels like a ton of work but trust me QUALITY over QUANTITY when it comes to applying to jobs. Do your research!

For those of you in the job search good luck and I hope you get that job you want! (´･ᴗ･`)♡
