Use an online platform to avoid the tedious process of making a resume from scratch.
## Step 1 - Prepare

- [Creddle](http://creddle.io/)
There are many free resources out there to prepare you for the technical interview:

## Searching
- [Coderbyte](http://coderbyte.com)
- [Interview - GitHub Repo](http://github.com/andreis/interview)
- [Interview Cake](http://www.interviewcake.com)
- [Interviewbit](http://www.interviewbit.com/profile/fvcproductions)
- [Interviewing.io](http://interviewing.io/)

Job boards
Look up [Meetup groups](http://www.meetup.com) in your local area that are dedicated to preparing for coding interviews and go to a few Meetups

- [Angel.co](http://angel.co/jobs)
+ [Job Collections](http://angel.co/job-collections/)
- [Panda.jobs](http://panda.jobs/)
- [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/jobs)
- [The Muse](http://www.themuse.com/)
## Step 2 - Search

Make a list of companies that you would love to work for and rank them by desire.

> For example
Research existing people at these companies that have your desired role and check out their personal websites, GitHub, and [LinkedIn](http://linkedin.com) profiles to get a feel of what their background is.

Rank | Company
---|---
1 | Apple
2 | Google
...| ...
10 | Yahoo
Check if you know anyone working at that company already by checking their company page on [LinkedIn](http://linkedin.com).

## Salary
Explore company reviews using [Glassdoor](http://glassdoor.com) - it's phenomenal for this sort of thing.

Create a minimum salary target for every company and change accordingly based on job type.
### Job Boards

Recommend asking for better salary from companies you feel you could offers for but don't necessarily want to work for.
[Angel.co Jobs](https://angel.co/jobs)
[Behance Jobs](https://www.behance.net/joblist)
[DesignerJobs](https://www.designerjobs.co/)
[Dribbble Jobs](https://dribbble.com/jobs)
[Glassdoor Jobs](https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm)
[Indeed](https://www.indeed.com/)
[LinkedIn Jobs](https://www.linkedin.com/jobs)
[PandaJobs](http://panda.jobs/)
[ProductHire](https://producthire.co/)
[StackOverflow Jobs](http://stackoverflow.com/jobs)
[SudoHoot Jobs](http://jobs.sudohoot.com/)
[The Muse](https://www.themuse.com/)
[Women Who Code Jobs](https://www.womenwhocode.com/jobs)

Only focus on `base salary`.
## Step 3 - Apply

Many companies like to offer the total package number first which includes bonuses and other benefits.
Keep track of all the jobs you apply to using a platform like [Airtable](http://airtable.com) or [Google Sheets](http://sheets.google.com).

Realize both your salary and bonuses offered are going to go through taxes, so take that into account.
Use an online platform like [Creddle](http://creddle.io/) to avoid the tedious process of making a resume from scratch.

> For example
## Step 4 - Accept

Rank | Company | Type | Min. Base Salary
---|---|---|---
1 | Apple | Full-Time | $100K/year
2 | Google | Part-Time | $50/hour
Create a minimum salary target for every company and change accordingly based on job type.
