The recent months hit the software engineering industry very hard. Many people were laid off. It seems like companies are becoming very picky about their candidates. And it became harder to get into tech, no matter if you are a junior engineer without experience, or a senior one with a few years of experience behind your back.
But the truth is that it is still possible to find a good job. You just need the right approach. Luckily for you, I have the answer.
For the past 4 months, my wife and I worked on our first collaboration, which gave birth to our first book—From Applicant to Employee: Your Blueprint for Landing a Job In Tech. This is an A to Z book on how to get hired as a technical specialist. It’s suitable for all levels of seniority, starting for inexperienced junior engineers, to highly experienced senior engineers.
But why trust us? Combined, we have more than 25 years of experience in tech. My wife is a Technical/Leadership Talent Acquisition Specialist who worked in all kinds of companies, including Facebook (Meta). I’m a Senior Software Engineer who took an active part in designing the interviewing process, and interviewing candidates for all levels of seniority.
The book contains 9 chapters which leads you through the interviewing process, starting from defining your perfect job description and preparing your CV, all the way to offer negotiation and how to succeed in your new job. We cover the most typical technical interviews, and talk about the caveats of soft skills interviews. We provide tips on how and where to look for a job, and how to befriend your Recruiter/Sourcer in order to succeed in the interviewing process.
This book is a brain dump of all the knowledge we have about the interviewing process. With our diverse experience from small startups, to mid-sized companies, and all the way to Big Tech (ex-Facebook, ex-Autodesk)—we cover everything.
