Summary
Ted Neward tells me about his job search that started in 2022. Part 2 of a 2 parter.
Details
Cover letters. The interviews, "elite code" - nothing to do with real programming jobs. Selling elite tests and tutorials, memorizing code. Showing that you can code, live coding. Ageism; cost of developers. Emotional aspects of the job search; much is out of your control; it can be devastating; accept help. Leverage the network, keep busy, keep the faith. How to find Ted.
