How will I get a job as a software engineer since there are lots of candidates?

The best way is for a good friend that already works at a place to recruit you. That’s how I’ll likely get my next job.

I found my last three jobs through recruiters. Recruiters provide a very useful service, they bring professionalism to the job search. They get feedback for you when you screw up.

Pursuing my career without access to recruiters would have made it a lot harder.
