Yes, I was able to crack 4 companies including an Indian prop-tech Unicorn NoBroker.com, Fisdom, Desynova, and WebileApps for the role of ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ซ.
But how was I able to do it, when there were lots of layoffs and hiring freezes happening all around me?
Well, here are the top 3 things I followed,
1. ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ :
Now this was the part that helped me land 3 out of the 4 offers, and I got responses to 93% of the cold emails.
I personally used to check job postings on various sites like Instahyre, AngelList, and LinkedinJobs and used to mail HRs, or hiring managers mentioning how my profile matches their requirements, and why I'm interested in them along with proof of work (mentioned in point 2)
(If you are interested to know the e-mail structure or format, please comment, will share it in future posts)
2. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค:
Recruiters and hiring managers love to shortlist profiles where candidates mention projects they have worked on, along with the live links and source codes for the same.
Having a personal portfolio website that contains links to all your projects as well as your other details is an attractive point here!
3. ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ:
Now this one is also the most important part, as sitting idle after following the first two points for 2 to 3 days will not work.
I consistently used to practice different stuff related to problem-solving(Leetcode was sufficient enough), and various development things even after getting the first offer, which improved my chances of getting an offer from the other mentioned companies.
Wrote a personal post like this for the first time, so do share it with your friends if you find it useful,
Also, open to any type of help needed ๐
