How to Search for a Role in Tech in 2025

Landing a job in tech today isn’t about spraying resumes. It’s about standing out in a world shaped by AI, SaaS, and innovation. Here’s your roadmap:

1. Build a Personal Brand

• Optimize your LinkedIn for keywords like “SaaS Sales", "AI sales,” “RevOps,” or any keywords that will put you in the front.

• Post 2–3 times a week, insights, tools, challenges, or wins. Focus on bringing value to the readers.

• Share articles (like this one!) to show your finger is on the pulse.

  
  

2. Use Smart Job Boards

• Wellfound (formerly AngelList): For startup roles.

• Otta: AI-curated tech jobs.

• LinkedIn Jobs: Use filters like “Hybrid”, "Series A", and “Series B.”

  
  

3. Network, Then Network Again

• Cold message reps, SDR leaders, or VPs. Ask about their experience.

• Attend events like SaaStr, RSA, and local tech meetups (Expensive).

• Volunteer at conferences if the budget’s tight, you'll still meet the right people.

4. Upskill, Always

• Learn tools like Gong, ZoomInfo, Salesforce, Outreach

• Get certified in AI sales platforms or RevOps strategies.

• Read playbooks, not just blog posts.

  
  

5. Be Proactive

• Don’t just apply. Record a quick video and send it with your resume.

• Use Cognism or Apollo to find hiring managers and email them directly.

• Show you can do the job before you get the job.
