Hi all. I’ve just been denied a junior level role with over 8 years of exp as a swe. Used the last of my savings to pay rent. Next month will likely be on the streets.<p>If anyone has any connections, please give your boy a chance.<p>I will however try to continue to code once I lose my house. Will start a “blog from the streets” for your all education and entertainment.<p>o7
All I could find is the following links, if it helps:<p><a href="https://larajobs.com/" rel="nofollow">https://larajobs.com/</a><p><a href="https://djangogigs.com/" rel="nofollow">https://djangogigs.com/</a><p><a href="https://djangojobs.net/" rel="nofollow">https://djangojobs.net/</a><p><a href="https://www.golangprojects.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.golangprojects.com/</a><p><a href="https://remoteok.com/" rel="nofollow">https://remoteok.com/</a>
Just one role?<p>When I'm in unemployed mode I try to knock out a job application every day. Granted I'm pretty lazy, so it's more like 2-3 job applications a week, on a good week.<p>Have a template for your CV and cover letter. Then just tailor it to each job application.<p>Be less selective about what technologies they ask for. If the job wants {Java, Spring boot, postgres, microservices, Jenkins, git} and you only know {Java, MySql} go for it anyway! Sometimes I look back on old job ads that I ended up working for, and they look nothing like what my job was: (blockchain? internet-of-things? What were they thinking!)<p>Don't bother thinking about why you got knocked back. It could have been any number of reasons:<p><pre><code> * Maybe they saw your exp and figured you wouldn't settle for junior's salary.
* If you did settle for a low salary, maybe they figured they wouldn't be able to keep you long, because you'd quickly move elsewhere for a better salary.
* Maybe you were one of about 10 candidates.
* Maybe you're resume was screened by HR or someone who didn't understand your technical worth based on your writing.

It's a numbers game.
