It is required whenever you need to interact with another human (which is nearly every day, for any job/career).
And good marketing just boils down to understanding other people: their needs, fears, and desires.
- a resume/job interview is just marketing
- a job posting is just marketing
- marketing will help you understand what skills are in demand (i.e. what to learn/make?)
- asking someone on a date is just marketing
- and of course, marketing is used to sell products and services, too
I'm OK with sales too, although I usually ended up persuading the other side not to buy our products, so I ended up giving up a career in stock broking 10 years ago.
On the other hand, I have never been good with dates. It's a completely different set of mindsets and skills IMO.
Stay up to date with everything which is happening in your field of job.
Regularly apply for jobs to make yourself interview ready. You can find newest job post’s aggregated from Twitter at careerbrige.com
I hope this helps!
if you can’t get a stable job, you can always start giving programming courses, this can be done at home. I really haven’t seen successful programmers who have completed such courses, but I have seen quite successful lecturers who teach such courses.
The value in this case is that if you ever need a job, some people will want to hire you specifically, not because of your resume, but because they trust you and like your vibe. They'll say "I know a guy" and you'll be that guy.
People underestimate just how many deals are done in-network, based on vibes alone. Jobs only get listed online if all else fails.
