Reflection, Research and Resumes: How to get your next job

A presentation I gave at the August SydJS about how to get your next developer job.

Reflection: Think about your work history, where do you want to take your career.

Research: What kind of jobs and companies are out there

Resume: Make your intention clear, easy-to-read structure, consider the human on the other end. Think tabloid newspaper, not broadsheet.
