I've built a decent network by just applying to positions advertised by recruitment firms I know specialize in my area, and then waiting for their response. I explain my interests in the introductory call, and many of them touch base with me now and then with new opportunities, some good, some not so good.

I've also DMed a couple recruiters directly and built the connection that way.

So applying isn’t considered bad practice even if you prob won’t be taking a new job now?

I am getting approached a lot via linkedin. Do you have your profile opened up for job offers?maybe worth taking a linkedin profile polish?

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks
