Summary response: all job apps are bullshit.

Seriously, do whatever it takes to go talk to a real human. I'm 50, by the way, and change jobs every two years. This shit works.

Job apps are an efficient way to turn you down and fill roles nobody else wants at a bargain rate.


Um. No you're not. I refuse to participate in a process where I send out 300 bullshit apps.

Instead, network. Reach out to your college profs and family friends. Go to meetups and tech events. Do hackathons. Anything to get time with a real human to build a connection.

Seriously, its how things get done.

Python & Analytics, with a heavy skew towards pricing and website investments.

Also has a bunch of web calculators and some past research projects.

Pricing content goes on hold when my day job is focused on that. Too much professional backlash...
