Yeah, we have in demand skills but so do a lot of other people (espeicslly on a world wide scale). When everyone has “python developer” or “javascript developer” in their tag line, how do you stand out?

    I’ve researched this topic quite a bit and I used to work in staffing. It’s all about trust:

    1. Use your existing network <— the best
    2. Answer a million questions related to your expertise on a social network (like Reddit) and opportunities arise.
    3. Bust your ass working for pennies on fiverr/upwork to build up a client base and raise your prices later
    4. Post content related to your expertise on Twitter/yt/ig
    5. Work with a recruiter. You’ll get price gouged but work is work.

    Lots of people here saying ‘network’ but this is what it takes to network today.
