I recently met one the people starting up https://www.jobhuntframework.org/ and I have high hopes for it. Often the skills are all there & just polishing the presentation, interviewing skills, and confidence is needed. You can know programming inside out and still not “get” recruitment.

What’s the common mistake they are making?
-
One bigco mistake is over-analyzing the role (he taking yourself out of it) as it is described and not allowing for the way things can change so quickly once you’re in the system.
-
Another is only applying to the hottest companies in the world. Google has its pick. When Sonic Drivein hires software engineers they’re not desperate.

Curious whether you've explored therapy as a complement to your technical education model. Like coaching but beyond, I mean.

A talented software engineer friend of mine was having trouble finding work. I noticed his resume and personal site were light on soft skills, so I advised him to pitch those more, and he responded, "Why would I do that, don't companies only care about technical skills?"
-
Sigh. Yup stuff like that.

A good case study: Homeless PHP developer who posted on Hacker News. Say “WordPress plugin dev” or “Magento dev” instead and he’d have his pick of jobs. Still PHP. Just different keywords.

I’ve noticed people get locked into role hierarchy too. “But it says senior developer”. What is senior for one might be junior -or just “developer”- for another. Titles aren’t rigid. Always worth enquiring.

Past a certain # of years you can just pick up tech calmly in a few months, the skills are more teaching, mentoring, abstraction, architecture. Not talking about myself, it just blows my mind when devs of 10+ years can't find jobs. They must encounter problems I don't yet get.
