Man, the job market for software engineers is rough right now. I'm back on the hunt for a new gig. Second time in just a couple of years. It’s a grind. The ghosting, the rejections… it never gets easier.<p>But earlier this week, I got a little lucky and found some inspiration. I saw a job posting that mentioned they were open to video applications. That got me thinking: why not use on of my own project to make interactive video applications? Figured it’d be a cool way to stand out, connect with the company, and show off what I can do in a more creative way.<p>So, I gave it a shot and sent out a few of these interactive video applications. And so far, the response rate has been shockingly high. Fingers crossed it keeps going like this.<p>If anyone else out there is struggling with the job search and wants help setting something like this up, just hit me up. Hang in there, everyone—we’ll get through this.
