Re: Broken labor market for workers in the IT industry
One of my stock interview answers goes as follows:
Interviewer: How much do you know about x?
Me: Not a lot, but ask me again in a few days and you'll get a different answer
Then, following the interview, read up on the topic, discern some pertinent points or relevant bits, then mail the interviewer (via the agency if necessary) with something that shows your understanding and enthusiasm.
Free training is everywhere these days, from overthewire.org to aws free tier. Write blog posts, make github contributions, use social media. Experience isn't purely from the job itself.
