Yes, I know this headline feels counterintuitive. But the list of resources, hopefully, will be an awesome help even if it feels your job search mostly sucks.
So, why did I put together this.
- Back in 2019 I spent a couple months doing customer discovery for a job search app project. And I've yet to find a great way to open source the findings and find contributors to bring the resources to the masses for maximum impact. Here are two LinkedIn posts as the pinnacle of what I shared.
- There's no list to help engineers, or regular folks who venture here, get some help with job search here on Github. While there are tons of great, ahem, Awesome lists.
- Why here? GitHub is one of the easiest places to collaborate for me.
Aside: if you learn the basics of Git and how to get around on Github, you already scored, so here are two 101s on the two:
- Why now? There's no other list, there's one for Engineers, yet as of 22 Jan 2023, it's totally empty. The list here on Github that comes closest is which gives you pointers to interesting work related awesome lists on GitHub.
There are three ways to chunk up the resources, by:
- Phases of Job search--Prepare, Hunt and Close
- Channels of Job search--Networking, Personal branding, Direct approach, Job boards and Recruiting agencies
- Industries--Talent acquisition folks, Tech

If you have time and want to put in some effort to help others coming behind you.

I'll probably add more.
But generally: 0. submit an issue if you have found issues (typo or factual)
- you will need a GithuB account
- you will need to fork this repo(sitory)
- you will need to make a new branch, N.B. can do it here on GitHub too
- make the changes, can do it on GitHub too,
- make a pull request
I have first found out about Awesome lists from Ripenaar's Free For Dev list. All other credit will be added here or simply as citation in the specific files. Less of a credit and more of a how this whole thing started for me - a LinkedIn article of mine about the job search framework I devised.
