Yesterday while doing nothing, I got a job offer for €100/h that I will NOT take.
These random assignments and high-paid job offers come to me all the time .. because of my work in public.
I'm not that special - there are many with more technical skills than me. So why are they not getting these?
In 2025, your personal brand and network will be the best way jobs. Not by sticking to the old route, but by showing interest in what you do for work. To name some examples;
- Build your homelab
- Post on LinkedIn, Work in public
- Network, and show you have a network
All of this is easy when you know what you're doing.
Also yesterday, one of our KubeCraft members got invited to a Podcast because of this. How cool is that? Opportunities won’t come knocking if no one knows you exist.
Put yourself out there. Share what you’re learning. Engage with the community.
Jobs won’t just be something you apply for, they’ll come to you too.
