Fragmented - Android Developer Podcast - 238: How to Land a Job (if you got laid off or if you're just starting out)
play

11/21/22 • 26 min

In this episode, Donn talks about the tips and tricks he's used over the last 20 years of consulting, freelancing and working full time to find jobs and new opporftunities. We're hoping some of these tips help those affected by the recent tech layoffs.

These are tips that Donn still uses to this day. They work wonders to help you land a job quickly when you do them.

The tips:

  1. Update your LinkedIn Profile and Build a Resume with the LinkedIn Resume Builder
  2. Set your LinkedIn status to "Open to Work" via the "Open to Work" feature on LinkedIn
  3. Directly Reach out to Recruiters you know or have interacted with
  4. Manual Discovery: Visit various companies career pages and job board and apply directly

Ancillary Tips to Boost Your Chances of Landing a Job:

  1. Blog about the technology you’re looking to get a job in
  2. Create a demo app or an app you can use to showcase your talents and put it on GitHub
  3. Record a How To Video and post it to YouTube showing how to do something, such as a tutorial
  4. Record/Start a podcast or reach out to hosts of other podcasts and offer to share some deep knowledge you have, or even talk about soft skills, etc
  5. Speak at local user groups or conferences (where you don’t need to worry about travel and costs, just show up and speak)

In this episode, Donn talks to David and Ross from Squeaky Dog Studios about building a business out of a side project.

David and Ross are long-time serial side project developers with experience that dates back to the Palm era. They've built games, apps, and now Watch Faces.

We dive deep into how they went from building their watch faces for Android as a side project and how they turned it into a full-time business in which one of the co-founders works full-time. We talk about building the app, pricing, support, which features to build, paid vs free, trial conversions, supporting your app and much much more.

If you've ever wanted to build a side project into a business, and it's app-based... this one is for you.

Fragmented - Android Developer Podcast - 232: Frustration, Flow State and "The Madness"

232: Frustration, Flow State and "The Madness"

Fragmented - Android Developer Podcast

play

06/13/22 • 43 min

In this episode Donn and Kaushik talk about frustration, finding "flow state" and how it's known as "the madness" and how to deal with it.

We originally were going to talk about an other topic, but during the off air banter Donn brought up how he was frustrated with losing/burning so much time on a task that he had for his side project. He only meant to spend a little bit of time on it and then spent WAY more time than he meant to. He got to the point where he had to stop working on the project, yell at himself for not time boxing it and then he had to refocus. This piqued Kaushik's interest and they decided to hit record to talk about this topic as its something they both deal with and have also hear many other developers deal with too.

The "Madness" is when you get consumed by your work and you're so passionate that you lose track of time, eating and more. You've become consumed ... you have "The Madness". This happens to all developers, and Donn and Kaushik talk about how to not let this derail your day when you have other responsibilities as well as life and work. We hope you enjoy today's off the cuff developer discussion.
