SUMMARY
What you do before a formal job search is critical to finding the right kind of job. With that in mind, you should consider the following things:
- Know your likes and dislikes as a programmer and a prospective employee.
- Understand the market to find and apply for the best jobs.
- Develop the marketable skills that employers look for and that can enhance your career.
- Manage your public profile to show you in the best possible light and make sure there are no surprises to turn off potential employers.
Once you’ve worked through all these points, you’re ready to begin your job search.
