1. Change up your networking strategy

Instead of messaging one person per company, message up to 5-7 people per company you never know who might reply

2. Enhance up your resume

Create a highlight reel up top in your resume to include a list of your top three transferable skills

3. Change up the kinds of companies you're targeting

Apply to smaller, earlier stage companies, or reach out to recruiters at larger companies that have apprenticeships or jr devs, figure out how to have more conversations based on your company preferences

4. Just graduate from a bootcamp? Talk with your cohort

Find out what others are doing that's generating interviews

Thank you for this one "Instead of messaging one person per company, message up to 5-7 people per company you never know who might reply." I'm always hesitant to do this so I will give it a go. If I see they are not active on LinkedIn, I will give their work email a try.

yes, that's right! When you message more than 1-2 ppl you increase your chances of finding the right recruiter for the role you're seeking, hiring manager or peer in the company that can support you. Also remember that not everyone is active on Linkedin and you'll never know that, so increase your chances of sucess!
