LINKEDIN! It’s such an important social platform for aspiring developers, and quite the controversial one as well. Some people love it. Some people hate it.
I think most developers actually use Linkedin very ineffectively. If you’re using it the wrong way and not getting much out of it, why would you like the platform? I get it.
In this podcast episode, my goal is to solidify your strategy of using the platform to give yourself a competitive edge at landing that first dev job. I invited Shaily on, who has helped several people build up their Linkedin presence.
We didn’t just dive into advice on how to present your Linkedin profile. We also shared resume tips, integrating your past experience with future dev jobs, networking tips, content creation tips, and even our frustrations with the platform. Enjoy!
