 So this talk is about five hacks how to get a dream job. So how many of you really enjoy your job and you consider it absolutely amazing and you're going to work there for the rest 40 years? Okay, so like 60% of you who didn't raise your hands, so take notes. A little bit about myself, my name is Azad Mardan and I work as a technology fellow at this small startup in finance called Capital One and if you're wondering, yeah, this is my dream job and I also do other things as well like publishing books. I've published and wrote 11 books but the key takeaway of this talk is that if you're applying for a job and it's posted online then it's too late for you. So the goal is for you to create the pool so the companies will actually find you instead of you submitting to the company and the way you do it, hack number one is to publish a book. First of all, create an outline, then get a feedback as early as possible, send it to strangers, use Google groups, Facebook groups, etc. Don't ask your friends because they would be nice to you. Block is a great way to get early feedback and then you can assemble those posts into a book later if that topic or that theme is popular. You can use Google Analytics for that. How long will it take to write a book? It all depends. Typically, a book could be anywhere from 10 to 400 pages. I recommend you for your first book, you don't do it more than 70 pages and roughly 100 pages of a technical book it's about 10,000 words plus or minus diagrams and the source code, etc. And really anyone can write a book that can write from 500 to 1,000 words per day. So block a weekend or a holiday and just do it. Use Markdown and those wonderful tools like WinPAP, GitBooks and PandaDoc to self-publish. It could be your full-time job too. The guys who published just one single book, they made $1,000,000 book on MeteorJF and Nathan Barry, he had like three book projects. He made half a million of dollars. You can also go to digital publishing but it has its own upsides and downsides. You would make less money but you'll get more prestige. Hack number two, improve your web presence. This should be obvious to everyone but just to really enforce this and to make you go and fix those things. If you don't have a blog or personal website by the way you can use GitHub pages, it's free. It's better than paying $5 for some hacky hosting and have a nice GitHub profile that has really good contribution to open source. Social media, improve your LinkedIn profile. Curriculum Vita, your resume, it's a relic of the industrial age. It's only for HR. Don't hide your LinkedIn profile, make it visible. Get endorsements. Ask other people to endorse your JavaScript skills, your Ruby skills, Python, PHP, etc. Get recommendations. So recommendations that take longer than endorsements so you really need to talk people and follow through to get them. Make sure you fill all the projects in front of your LinkedIn profile. So create a bullet point list. Then speak at a conference. That's what I'm doing right now. You can start with Lightning talks, you can do with Meetups, start small then go big. You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great, right? And it's a numbers game. Most of the conference they allow you to submit multiple proposals so you can judge what topics are better. Having a catchy title definitely helps. And you can convert the conference talk to a book and vice versa. The Clown Gym Moving is very fast. Massive OpenLine courses are really great, almost cheap. Udacity Nanodegree, they're like job descriptions. And by the way, there's the Node.js Nanodegree with Capital One that we're working with. It's coming out really soon.
