| 1) Contribute to, or publish, open source, the more the merrier (it's a very good way to get judged by coders) 2) Keep a technical Blog and write about interesting stuff you did. Try to offer a service for your readers covering topics and explaining things to help them along, attracting an audience. 3) Get a twitter account to tweet about technical things that interest you, get followers that like what you tweet. 4) Participate in other coding communities (like stackoverflow) where you can help people along. 5) Make sure that your entire presentation is geared towards steering people towards your blog and your software. 6) Forget resumes. Nobody reads them. Polish yours leaving everything but the bare essentials out, try to smuggle in your blog and open source software links. 7) Cultivate a larger network, go to local or nearby meetups of the crowd doing stuff you're interested in. 8) Publish more software on the app-store (or anywhere), write about your software on your blog. 9) Participate in standard bodies. 10) Freelance and/or run your mini company besides, be sure to write about the awesome stuff you did while doing that on your blog. In short, get known for doing things. Don't think people read the resume and show an interest. And if at all possible, let people come to you with offers. Not the other way around, if they come, you already know they're interested. |
