The MaxCoders Guide To Finding Your Dream Developer Job Charles Max Wood

In this first MaxCoder guide, Charles Max Wood shares with you the secrets behind finding your dream developer job. Whether you're a recent bootcamp graduate or a veteran programmer, it's often difficult to find a job you love. If you're unhappy with your current work opportunities or are having trouble finding your first or next programming job, this book will walk you through the process of not only find a job, but a job you'll love going to every day. Early in his career, Charles Max Wood found that he could either work a job he loved for a year before they downsized or laid people off or he could stay in jobs he hated forever. Realizing this, he began researching companies before applying to see if they were a fit. This book contains the techniques and tricks he learned for identifying great companies to work for and then working through the people and systems he could find to put himself in front of the right people to get that next job. In many cases, he'd end up being interviewed for a job before it even got listed on job sites. Over the next several years, he coached dozens of other developers and helped them get placed in terrific companies working on technologies they enjoyed with people that challenged them doing work that mattered. Through his coaching, he realized that he couldn't help everyone one-on-one, so he put his approach into the book you hold in your hand.
