I've got a lot of experience with back end and front end web development, database management, general programming stuff and good old fashioned data entry/tech support. Looking for any position from developer to mindless data entry at this point.

Any advice on how to search would also be appreciated, haven't done this in a very long while. Like what websites do people even use now haha

If it helps, I can write you a recommendation at my current employer Google. They suck, but when you need money, you need money

That said we're only lightly hiring right now due to ongoing layoffs

I've honestly had pretty good luck passively with linkedin, I just update my profile like it's a resume and respond when recruiters get in touch.

Couple tips - be sure to list the names of all the major tools you know - programming languages, frontend frameworks, cloud stuff, databases, etc, etc. Recruiters often don't know much about what you do but do have a checklist of relevant technologies for jobs they're trying to fill.

In my experience there are a couple basic categories of recruiters - the good one is people who send you a polite message on linkedin and mention at least one thing they saw on your profile. It's worth taking the time to have a call with a couple of these people - even if the current job they're trying to fill isn't a good fit, good recruiters will keep you in mind if you're able to articulate what you're good at and what sort of job you're looking for - things to think about are team size, what type of work interests you, big or small company, etc etc.

The other type emails you with an URGENT listing for a contract java job in texas, you can safely ignore these since they're playing a numbers game and won't really offer you anything in exchange for your time.

If anyone asks you to send them money or buy anything, it's a fake job - this is a thing fairly recently.

When it comes to cold applying, be persistent! You might not hear back from most applications but try not to get discouraged - despite the grim news environment lots of places are hiring programmers, just maybe not so much Big Tech Companies.
