Hey Faith! Love that name! That would also be my advice! Have Faith in Faith!
You are about to make some HUGE moves, some giant leaps and some life changes. Have Faith in Faith. Believe that you are incredible, because YOU ARE!
YOU ARE VALUABLE! So just know that when you are entering and walking into these interviews!
To network, Be direct and walk with purpose! Don't walk into a conversation by accident! If you walk into a conversation, make an impact and give them a reason to NEVER forget who Faith Kovi is!
If you message someone, don't start with a Hi. Have a purpose for being there "Hi I saw that you posted a job in XYZ. Here are 3 reasons why I think we should have a conversation."
Or "I see you are a developer working in the MERN stack. What tip could you offer someone who is interested in exploring this tech stack?"
Hope this helps!
