Write code. Spend as much of your time as possible doing that.<p>I&#x27;d ignore recruiters and fairs. Go to techy talks, meetups etc. Don&#x27;t hand outo a resume. In fact you don&#x27;t need a resume except for HR filter purposes (you need one, but it won&#x27;t be the reason you get a job --- not having one or having a poorly written one can get you nixed by HR&#x2F;management). Engage in discussion with technical people you meet who look like they have hiring influence. Talk about your project (see above: write code). Also ask them about their projects. Get their email and ask if they mind if you connect on LinkedIn. If you are lucky one of these contacts will decide to promote you as a good hiring candidate in their organization. Follow up via email to keep them warm. Don&#x27;t ask for a job. Ask some plausible follow-up question from the initial discussion or perhaps ask if they know if any company in the area hiring (this is code for &quot;I want a job&quot; but much more polite).<p>Also: write code.
