Personal Brand Blueprint for Software Developers

What is it?

This product contains everything I wish I had known when I started looking for internships and jobs as a Software Engineer. In this course, I will take you through the steps of setting up a personal blog and project website. I will show you how to utilize these tools to stand out when applying for jobs.

Why do I need it?

Lets get real, software engineers usually suck at communicating. We prefer precise data and accurate definitions. This doesn't make for good conversation. Sure, precise data and definitions have their place in a conversation, but without context or a story, the conversation is meaningless. Applying for a job as a software engineer is essentially an extended conversation. You're trying to figure out if you want to work at a Company and they're trying to figure out if they want to hire you, so you both ask questions and give answers.

In this product, I'll give you the tools you need to hack this conversation by answering the questions interviewers will ask before hand. They wont wonder whether you know a certain language, they'll see that you already worked on a side project using the language. They wont wonder if you're actually passionate about tech, they'll see you already wrote a blog post about you're favorite IDE. Get the point?

Who is it for?

This is for anyone who wants to better understand how to build an online presence. It's especially useful for those trying to find a job. Its useful for experienced engineers and those just starting out. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO CODE TO USE THIS PRODUCT!

Who is it NOT for?

This is not for software engineers who already frequently write & network online. It is not for engineers who already have a solid online presence. It is not for engineers who have zero trouble getting interviews and offers.

What's Inside?

Inside you'll find 5 videos and 2 website templates (1 project site, and 1 blog). Two of the videos walk you through setting up the website templates. 3 of the videos are bonus content that take your sites to the next level, including setting up analytics, learning markdown to style blog posts and setting up custom domains.
