As I have talked about before (and if you haven't seen those, subscribe to the channel and go back and watch) it can be a daunting task to find a job as a Software Developer in 2024. The market is really tricky right now. In my 25 years I have been thru the DOTCOM bust, the 2008-2009, COVID, and now this. Let me share with you some things that I think can help.

#1 Keep your chin up!
Losing your job is tough. It is gut wrenching. It feels like you got kicked in the stomach - or even lower. Each time I have been laid off in my career my wife and I never tell anyone for the first few days because it is such a range of emotions to process. In my reading I have heard people talk about morning. Give yourself that space. Hopefully you got some severance to take a couple days or a week to process - but then you have to really pull yourself back up and dig into the daunting task of looking for new work.

#2 Network Like a Pro
In 2024, networking remains your golden ticket to landing a job. It's not just about who you know, but who knows you. Attend meetups, join developer communities, and reconnect with former colleagues. The relationships you build today can open doors tomorrow. Reflecting on my journey with CleanRouter, many opportunities came from the connections I fostered over the years. Never underestimate the power of a well-timed introduction.

The tech industry evolves rapidly, and staying relevant is crucial. Continuously learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools. Platforms like Udemy, Coursera, and even YouTube offer courses to keep you up-to-date. When we started CleanRouter, we had to adapt to new technologies constantly to stay ahead of the competition. In 2024, the most in-demand skills include cloud computing, AI, and cybersecurity. Stay ahead of the curve to stay employable.

Your online presence is often the first impression potential employers get. Create a standout LinkedIn profile, contribute to GitHub, and consider writing a tech blog. These platforms showcase your expertise and passion for development. In 2024, a strong online presence can differentiate you from the competition and attract job offers.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all resumes. Tailor each application to the specific job you're applying for. Highlight relevant experience and skills that match the job description. When we were hiring at CleanRouter and StartupHakk, we looked for candidates who clearly demonstrated how their skills aligned with our needs. Personalizing your application shows employers that you’re genuinely interested and invested in the role.

Utilize platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, and niche job boards dedicated to tech roles. These sites are treasure troves of job opportunities. Set up alerts for positions that match your skills and preferences. In 2024, a strategic approach to using job search platforms can significantly enhance your job hunting success.

Thank you for watching and reading. Remember, with the right strategies and persistence, you can land your dream job in 2024. Good luck, and happy job hunting!
