1. Find your fit
- pick the role that best lines up with what you’ve done.
- while you can always switch roles once you’re inside a tech company, the easiest way to break in is by proving to recruiters that you can do the job on Day 1.
2. Update your Resume
- on average, you have seven seconds to catch the eye of a recruiter or hiring manager.
- invest time in updating & improving your resume, it’ll pay off.
3. Online presence
- having online profiles builds legitimacy & acts as social proof.
- build a portfolio with a good list of projects
- contribute to open-source, build in public (on Twitter), write blogs & maintain an up-to-date LinkedIn profile.
4. Network
- your network can vouch for your work & introduce you to professionals in the industry, including hiring managers.
- attend job fairs, industry conferences & networking events to meet people who work in the tech industry & learn about job opportunities.
5. Reach out directly
- make a list of companies you’d like to work for & then connect with their HR people.
- hop on LinkedIn & search for your target company. Find someone from the hiring team to send your resume.
