Make sure to keep in contact with old coworkers, especially if they&#x27;ve moved on to other companies. I&#x27;ve gotten contract work from former coworkers and actually got my first job because my boss&#x27; boss found out that I did some development and he was working with another startup that was looking for a junior programmer.<p>Otherwise I&#x27;ve had some success with recruiters, but the quality of the recruiter does matter.
