Re:Tech job listings are down 40% on several job boards by cortesoft on Friday July 08, 2016 @03:37PM (#12058082)
After my very first job, all my subsequent jobs have been to work with people I have worked with before.

Do you have any connections like that? People who you worked with, who know you are good, and want to work with you again?

It is a lot easier to find work when the people hiring know that you can do the job because they have seen you do it before.

I do, but it is relatively small. I've worked at smaller companies or smaller teams since I've been in Austin. A few of the interviews I mentioned were through people I know and who personally vouched for my capabilities. It didn't change the outcome, unfortunately.
