Why traditional job search advice fails in tech 💻

If you’re job searching in tech, you’ve probably seen advice like “don’t apply cold to jobs” and “just network more.”

While well-meaning, most traditional job search tips don’t work in tech, and they can actually backfire!

Why? Because this advice is usually written for mid-career professionals in conventional industries. It doesn’t account for the speed, nuance, or hyper-competitiveness of tech.

And if you're a senior manager or executive, generic advice won’t just fall flat; it could stall your search entirely.

That’s why I created this deep-dive guide:

​👉🏼 10 Proven Job Search Strategies For Tech Professionals 👈🏼​

These tips are crafted specifically for tech professionals, especially those at the senior level. They’ll help you stand out in the saturated market and land your next role faster.

Expert tip: These strategies work best when used together. Think four-course dinner, not random appetizers. When you commit to the full experience, you get full results.

Now I’m off to Starbucks. Have a fabulous week!
