CEO at Headstarter: #1 community for software engineers. Get off local host. hmu for resume roast
sometimes it doesn’t matter how many: - leetcodes - resume edits - networking events You do Because there is a lack of substance. Here are 3 ways to build “substance.” 1 / build relationships with people better than you, older than you and smarter than you. This is not networking. Networking can often be transactional. Aka “hi i hope you are having a good day… Can i get referral pls” Instead be curious and a data machine. These people better than you, older than you and smarter than you… how did they get there What were the projects, mentality and people they met that moved the needle. 2 / Solve hard technical feats and talk about it. Maybe in your internship you were the first to figure out something that no one else on team found out. Maybe in your side-quest you tried to ship it but found a dependency injection issue on lanngchain repo and you made a PR. (This is literally why I hired an intern last year out of 9,000 applicants on Handshake/li) Demonstrate technical prowess within the limited knowledge and capacity you have. Then talk about it on LinkedIn. Write blogs about your thinking. It validates it. 3 / Have a deep desire to achieve. Bold words and a bold voice will echo. Famous proverb by Napoleon “What man shall concieve, man shall achieve.” You need want to come out guns blazing, wanting to become different, standout. And that sharp voice will resonate. Vica versa. A dull attitude, a dull github and dull resume will be against you. So just as a friendly reminder: sometimes it doesn’t matter how many: - leetcodes - resume edits - networking events you do when you don’t have substance. Thoughts? ?? repost if you agree
The best feeling is when the person you're talking to pauses becuase they have to think about their answer. Still working on asking those good questions!
Being open about what you are learning and the pitfalls and victories you make a long the way is a great way to build genuine relationships
Building real substance comes from deep relationships, solving real problems, and having a relentless drive to achieve. Everything else follows.
This is very insightful.

2 周I think a good way to emphasize these points is... "Talk less, listen more" I say this because this really encompasses on how you're always willing to learn. Talk about your accomplishments briefly, but listen to others on ways you can improve your work. There's always something to learn in life, and it can be displayed by those 4 words >:D
