Job application tips for developers

In this video I'm interviewing Angus Mackintosh, a tech recruiter working in Amsterdam. Together with Angus we discuss job application best practices: where to find job offers, how to decide when to put more effort into application and how to ensure our resume gets noticed. Angus also shares some great tips about using LinkedIn - the tool that developers love to hate, yet a tool which is used by almost all recruiters. By following a few simple practices, you can increase a chance get contacted by recruiters and finding a new job!
