🔑Outreach is the key difference in getting a job in 3 months vs. 8 months, which equates to roughly $21,000 in salary! (Source: Recently hired graduate data).
To set yourself up for success in Job Search, do the following immediately:
Update your technical skills, preferred roles and location preferences.
Update links to your resume, Github, and LinkedIn
Take the Codesignal GCA if you don't have a score of 650+
Attend the Welcome to the Job Search live session on Week 1 of your Job Search
Send at least 10 customized outreach emails to at least 10 employer contacts (more on how this works below)
Green Github 15+ days of the month or complete 10+ code challenges
**Secure 1 interview in your first 30 days of job searching. **Graduates with 1 interview in the first 30 days are 3x more likely to get a job in 90 days. This interview doesn't have to be at your dream company, in fact, it is better if it isn't. If you only work toward one goal, let it be this!
