Hi all,

I am getting anxious about the job search afterward and I want to give myself a head start.

Assuming that I have no friends in the industry or referrals going into a 3 month bootcamp, what would you recommend I do in my spare time?

I want to attend meetups and career fairs on a weekly basis if I can ... Hackathons seem to be few and far between, but I’ll look.

The bootcamp will help me cultivate a portfolio and resume. This is sort of Career Building 101, but I want to ask: what worked for you?

Thanks for reading!
