Article: Certain areas are up-and-coming for this market. Silicon Valley in California is an obvious choice for this field. However, other, more unexpected areas, such as Washington, D.C., Alabama, Virginia, Utah, and Montana, have projected growth in the field of up to 45 percent. While some companies may let you telecommute, most of the time, they are going to want you in the office. Many tech companies value group creativity, which is easier to encourage in an office setting. If you plan to work for a tech company, start by applying for positions. You can find job listings on major job websites, such as Monster, Indeed, or Yahoo. However, you can also search the websites of major mobile app companies to find jobs. Think about the apps you love, and look at the developer. Those places are where you want to apply because you already have a passion for what they do. What type of company you apply to depends on what you want. If you work at a startup, you're likely to have more hands-on time with the app and maybe more control. However, you don't know if a company is going to succeed or fail in it's early stages. With a more established company, you're more likely to be working on one small part of several apps, rather than being in control; on the other hand, you can be more confident that the company doesn't go under. If you have a degree and experience, use that to help you get a job. For instance, if you designed your own app, you now have a way to show how well you can code or design. If you interned at a company, you now have experience under your belt that other candidates may not have. Use whatever you've got to stand out from other candidates. Be sure to highlight the experience you have in your cover letter. For instance, if you had an internship, you could say, "I would be a valuable asset to your company, as I already have experience coding at a similarly sized tech company. I interned at XYZ Tech for 6 months in 2014." When you work in the tech industry, you need to always know what's coming. One way to do that is to read tech magazines, as they often focus on what's ahead. As new coding platforms and technology comes on the market, it's your responsibility to learn it, so that you don't become obsolete. If you're going into business for yourself, that means you must be everything to your app. You must figure out the best way to profit off it, and then you must market your app across major social media outlets.  Some companies offer the app for free, then charge to make the game faster or more enjoyable, such as offering packs of coins or stars. Customers may already find these types of incentives in the game, but the packs make the game move along more quickly for impatient players, especially if you pace the game so that only so much can be completed in a day without more of the in-game coinage. Find the right keywords. When naming your app and writing up a description, think about what your customers will be looking for. What word would you use to search for your app? You need to make that a part of your title, description, or keywords if possible.  Use in-app sharing. One way to encourage users to share is to have ways to help each other in the game, such as being able to give other users extra lives. If users can share on major social media platforms, such as Facebook, you'll have more luck with word-of-mouth.  Don't forget to pay. You can set up an app on Facebook or a mobile platform, but if you're not willing to pay for advertising, you're going to have a hard time building your customer base, especially if you're just relying on your friends.

What is a summary?
Be ready to move. Apply for positions. Use your experience. Be ahead of the curve. Market and profitize your app.
