Chapters

You have to approach the job search like it's a job. If you just wake up in your pajamas and your bathrobe, and you're just out here sending DMs willy-nilly and hoping it's gonna work, it's not gonna work. You have to approach it from a grind perspective.
What you just said is so spot on. We just had a person on Twitter Space Saturday. They were asking for help with their CV, said, how do you know if your CV is a problem? Found out they were randomly applying. I said, you can't do that. It's gotta be strategic. You're an engineer. And as an engineer, your job is not about the code. It's about solving problems. Hopefully you have a methodology, a system about how you solve problems. I need you to get a pencil and paper, a Google Doc, a Google spreadsheet, I don't care. Get something and get a system, get a strategy that you're gonna follow. Because the next thing is you track everything, where you apply, when you apply, the interview process. So the point is, don't do random things.
