Private Job Board

The private job board has been paused.

To test out the private job board idea I took on a small group of initial people to work with. In this process, I learned quite a bit about the current job market. One thing I learned is that finding job adverts and framing them wasn't offering much value to people in the at-the-time quite slow market.

I wrote up my general reflections in this Substack post and in this Youtube video. You may find them useful. They represent the best advice I have on how to navigate the current market.

After this, I launched 0DE5, a Youtube channel with exercises for people who are looking to build deeper tech skills and have more fun with them.

This idea emerged from my hope to help the 'be the best' group I mention in the post above. However, 0DE5 ended up aimed at a broader audience and is not job-focused. You may still find it useful in pushing ahead of the job market. I will say that if you are looking to enter the field as a junior dev and you learn to the depth 0DE5 covers you will likely have a better understanding than most other candidates.

At some point in the future, likely as part of 0DE5, I will focus a chapter of content more on people who are on the track to a software development job. You may want to watch out for this.
