One approach to 'career management' not mentioned here but that I think is non-obvious but helpful to you and to others is to help recruiters with referrals.<p>Now: I know recruiters are often the subject of a lot of mockery on HN, but referrals are a way to stay engaged and to look good for times (later) when you may need their help.<p>And any sincere efforts to help others find work is both rewarding and creates a good halo effect.<p>All good reminders, all hard to keep in mind :)
