I know I need to use twitter and Instagram to help leverage my online presense into a job opportunity.
But as a jr developer experienced that's not heavy on social media, I go early don't know wtf to write or tweet. And I don't want to post "dev content" related stuff because I dont wanna be laughed at.

What so I write or post? Help

An up to date LinkedIn profile should suffice.

Anything beyond LinkedIn won't be looked at, and that's even if that gets looked at.

An open GitHub or GitLab account with functional projects, including the documentation on how to get them running, adds more weight to your chances then having a social presence, especially if it's another dev hiring you and not some HR drone.

Also, be sure they do run beyond your own machine. 👀

So many times someone makes a multi platform project and the fucker won't run beyond a Mac due to some dependency or another.

Thanks for all the advice thus far ✌️

As for Linkedin. I have it. Everytime I see some job popup, qualified or not, I just copy paste my cover letter, tweak it here and there, attach my resume, and I feel like Its just a waste of time. I mean, I can essentially apply to 50 jobs a day. I get 0 feed back other than a successful application email. I feel like my job applications are being sent into some endless void. And I also noticed, theres a lot of fake fucking jobs and scammers. And it's not like I can call and follow up on my LinkedIn application because a) they're big companies x everything is automated. And 2) how would I even reference my application? It's. A tech company .

Don't even get me started on Upwork if I'm trying to do the freelance thing. I have literally lost money, sending proposals to jobs I'm absolutely qualified to so ..

@BreakfastFood find some legit recruiters - yes I know they're hard to find - but a few good ones + a full work history will get some offers show up.

As for sending CVs into the void, that's exactly what you're doing. Not many companies respond and the ones that do are just automated "you're not <some reason> suitable"

Depending on the country there might be some job websites that recruiters typically visit, outside of LinkedIn.

Unless you post your field related stuff on Twitter and IG, it's not useful for your career.

Also make sure your cover letter is personalized towards the company you are applying to. Generic letters are typically rejected in some kind of pre-sort as they appear to clearly be fire-and-forget, the CV equivalent of spam.

Make sure you write about what you would bring to the company, what excites you about them or the position and some bullshit like that. Doing your homework makes you stand out, but it costs you volume. Quality over quantity is preferrable in most situations though.

Also, check out some remote work sites (good lists on github for this), as many companies recruit world wide, which increases your chances.

@BreakfastFood LinkedIn jobs I’ve found are like 1/1000 rate of apps to call backs. Surprisingly, Indeed jobs seem to have a rate closer to 1/100 - 1/200 varying with experience.
