It's been a common conversation lately. More and more companies have been reducing their staffs through layoffs. Concerning at least, terrifying at most. And as we seem to be entering (or are already into) a recession, it feels like it doesn't have an end in sight.
Here at Post Status we could report about what companies are doing what, and wax long and laboriously about the cost/benefits, hardships, ecosystem issues, etc., but what we'd rather do is be a resource for you.
So let's focus on how we can help, instead.
Job Boards and Job LinksWe've compiled places where you'll find information about jobs that are available.
Résumé HelpWriting a résumé doesn't have to be difficult, but it sometimes seems so very overwhelming. Here are some resources to help you craft yours.
Job Search HelpNow that you've got your résumé done, here are some resources for finding tech jobs.
NetworkingWe've all heard it's not what you know, it's who you know, and while that may not be strictly true, it certainly does help to have connections to places that are hiring.
Here are some articles on making the most of networking.
