Let's jump in to the best advice to find a great job as a software programmer, even if you don't have much experience! Let's go:

Network but not only where no one else does

Our first tip is one of our favorites. Everyone knows that the easiest way to get a good job at a great company like the great tech companies is to know the right people. But if you just go to networking events, guess what will happen?

Answer: You'll be in the generic swath of applicants holding a resume in their hands just like everyone else. You'll be indistinguishable from the masses also applying for the same few awesome positions.

But what if... stay seated... you meet those same executives but in unconventional places. Places where no one expects you to be, and you can approach them as a friend.

What if you go to a bar where the the executives at a particular company are known for going. It's likely a bar right near their office. So first, find out where their headquarters is. Then when do most companies do happy hours or after work drinks? Thursday evenings, for example? Just go stop by, and talk to people in the same way you'd talk to anyone else you would meet in a bar. And do this not only in the city headquarters; Microsoft may be headquartered in Seattle, but they have offices everywhere--and the same for the other great tech companeis.

Of course, since this revolves around having a drink--make sure you yourself stay sober, so you can think clear-headedly during the whole conversation.

And another part of that: while you're having that friendly conversation, throw out in passing comments that add value to the executive. Like insightful comments your profession as it relates to their work, for example.

But how do you do that? Oh, and here's the fun part: before even showing up where they're likely to be: research them, very aggressively. But don't let them know that you did. Of course, don't ask out of the blue, "So how is your 8 year old kid?"--then you'll sound like an obsessive person and you want to avoid that! But it's not hard to discover people's interests by looking at their Twitter and other social media.

You may want to also note what city that executive lives in: if you want to work for Facebook/Meta in a particular department and the head of that department lives in Austin, you may want to take a trip to Austin to pursue this strategy.

And a good warning to keep in mind is: most of these executives probably pay for a LinkedIn where they can see who looks at them on LinkedIn. As a result, when you research them before you meet them, make sure you do not use LinkedIn because then, they will realize that the coincidence of meeting you isn't quite a coincidence.

Now this tip alone can work wonders, but why stop here? We have lots of other great advice that you can use to find the perfect job. Here's another one:

Befriend the executives on social media--but talking about subjects that have nothing to do with their work.

Does the executive at Google or whichever company you want to work for love bird-watching and Tweet all about it?

Great! You could Tweet about bird-watching also, and then respond to his Tweets. You do that a few dozen times--and then he'll know your name. And even better, if your Tweets are good, he'll have a high opinion of you.

Then, after doing that a few dozen times, perhaps over months, then... respond to some of his Tweets about the work-related subject matter. He'll think, "Oh! The smart bird-watcher is also a smart software developer!". Voila. You've now built up the first seeds of an out-of-work relationship, which is a strong base for starting to have a professional conversation.

Were these first tips helpful? We hope so--but guess what, there are lots more such tips out there online--so we'd definitely recommend to keep on reading and researching these creative ways to go about finding a great job at one of the great software companies, through the many resources available online.
