Selecting Hiring Websites
There are a lot of hiring websites, and you only have a limited amount of time each day to search, so it’s important to narrow your options when selecting which ones to use.

Avoiding Scams
Unfortunately, job seekers can be targeted by scams. Many hiring sites verify their job listings to reduce spam, but some still gets through. Use your common sense, instincts and web safety protocol when utilizing job sites.

Networking
Another traditional way to find jobs is by building connections. According to a LinkedIn study, 70% of people found jobs through their connections. In today’s developer environment, there are lots of great ways to network, no matter where you live or what part of tech you find exciting.
If you’re a recent or soon-to-be college grad, you’re most likely familiar with career fairs, where employers come to campus in search of entry-level hires. Definitely plan to attend any of these that include companies looking for software engineers.

Attending Events
Attending events and conferences gives you different ways to discover open positions. For example, conferences are often sponsored by companies that are hiring, while it’s common for recruiters to attend to meet candidates.

When you attend a conference, you’ll learn a lot from the speakers, but as a job seeker, the people you meet will be just as important. Here are some ways to make conferences work for you.
Building Connections
Many conferences use Slack or Discord to help participants stay in touch. If you have this option, be sure to join and say hello in the channel to start building connections with other attendees.

Making It Easy for People to Reach You
When you sign up for a conference, be sure to come prepared. If you meet someone who’s interested in discussing a job with you, be sure to have your contact information handy, including links to your resume and social media profiles.

Following up After the Conference
As you meet interesting people, be sure to follow them on social media and encourage them to follow you as well. This helps you keep in touch after the conference. Over time, this is how you build your network.

Participating in Clubs for Developers
Aside from conferences, there are other clubs and events that meet to discuss different technologies. Seeking out and joining these clubs can put you in touch with people working in areas that interest you.
Like job sites, there are a vast number of online communities and email lists. To find them, think of the technologies, platforms and code languages you’re most interested in working with, then search for those terms. Adding “+newsletter” and “+community” to your search is helpful.

Nontraditional Ways to Find Jobs
You can take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back. At this point, you’ve learned how to use the most common traditional means of finding a job in tech. You’ll now get creative and explore some of the nontraditional ways to find a job.

Targeting Companies Outside the Industry
When you consider dev jobs, you might immediately think about working for a famous tech company like Microsoft, Google or Meta. However, every industry needs technology to thrive these days, and job seekers often overlook lucrative opportunities outside the tech industry.

Proactively Contacting Potential Employers
It’s not unusual for a company to need a new employee for some time before they get around to posting a position. This happens especially often with small companies and employers outside the tech industry. This creates an opportunity for you: If you reach out, you can raise your odds of being one of the first to apply. If you’re a good fit, you might be the only candidate.

Creating Your Own Opportunity
Aside from applying for jobs with established companies, you can consider creating your own opportunity by looking around and noticing where your skills could help. Is there a local company or organization that could greatly benefit from your skills? Could you build an app that would benefit their current system? If so, you could approach the business and ask.
