Social Media Sites What many developers don't know that job recruiter tend to find employees on social media sites like linkedin or twitter.This is why most developers need to be careful of what they do on social media.I know a guy who got fired because of what he usually post on social media.Social media can be your friend and worst enemy at times that's why you have to mind the way to express and present yourself on social media. con-karampelas-HUBofEFQ6CA-unsplash.jpg

Applying For Internships Applying for internships will give you a greater chance of getting a job as a developer in a tech company or startup.This is usually because companies don't actually require much for interns and through that you can be able to get a full time job as a developer.Working as an intern will give you an insight of how a developer job will actually be at.It is a opportunity for you to meet other developers .

Meet With Developers Who Have Jobs Developers who have jobs in companies like microsoft,google or facebook can actually help you get other jobs because they went through the application process and interview process which you will need in order for you to get a job.I would have loved to mention some developers who helped me through this and you can even meet them such as Bolaji Ayodeji, Shodipo Ayomide and the rest.

Attend Meetups and Tech Events One of the ways to get jobs through face to face contact is attending meetups where you can be able to talk to employer,organizers and partners if they have vacancy or even they can notice what you actually do and might be willing to give you a job.This was exactly how i got my second job at WesternGates Technologies.This is what boosts the career of a developer
