things nobody tells you when you get laid off:

→ you'll second-guess the job you just left even if you hated it
→ the "just keep applying" advice is real

But heads up, we're half way there!

Bring your questions. Leave with clarity.
I didn’t realize how outdated my resume was until I reread it and thought, “Wow… would I even hire me? LOL.” 😭
Your resume isn’t bad.
It’s just not strategic.

Let’s make sure your profile works as hard as you do. 💻✨
It’s only Tuesday and I’ve already mentally retired twice and accepted three imaginary job offers.
Your LinkedIn headline is not your job title.
your job title tells people what you did.
your headline should tell people what you can do for them.
That's a completely different sentence.
👉🏽 Come hang with us on March 4th at 1:30 PM ET: torc.community
Monday is just Friday’s consequences catching up.
hot take: the developers who focus on community while building their career end up further ahead than the ones who only focus on just coding.
Domitrius Clark (@domitriusclark) is proof of that as he joins @tasonjorres on Tech Commute Today · 3 PM EST

The most underrated thing about being part of a dev community:
someone's already solved the problem you're stuck on.
and they'll tell you...if you just show up and ask.
It's what we're here for!

How we are we feeling today? TGIF!
your manager doesn't need to know about this call.
Yappy Hour is our weekly Friday hang, no slides, no agenda, no one asking if you've updated your Jira tickets.
just developers talking like actual humans.

🔥 Yappy Hour en Español | 27 feb, 2PM EST
El finde está a la vuelta. Solo quedan unas horas de cordura corporativa. Ven a quemar el estrés antes de cruzar la meta: stakeholders imposibles, legacy code del infierno... todo vale.

You can have a great GitHub, a clean resume, and solid experience and still get ghosted multiple times in a row.
The process is broken. It's not you. We can still help you work around it.
Take a moment and head over to our youtube to see what community awaits you👇🏽

In 90 minutes Jason Torres (@tasonjorres) and Danny Thompson (@DThompsonDev) are going live.
the topic: how to successfully land jobs in tech.
the format: two people who've been on both sides of the hiring table, telling you what actually works.

My to-do list woke up before I did🫠
hiring managers say they want "culture fit"
but nobody ever defines what the culture actually is...
If you missed todays GC 2.0 session, a key takeaway was that Richie Lam (@RichieLampani), went from running music venues to becoming a fractional Head of Talent for defense contractors most firms won't touch.
The career pivots that make zero sense on paper are sometimes the most relatable.
At Torc, we’re building a community-first platform where developers don’t just apply for jobs, they grow, connect, and innovate together.
Powered by the global strength of Randstad Digital, we are redefining how top tech talent meets opportunity.
This isn’t another job board.
Midweek reminder:
You don’t have to solve your entire career by Friday.
Just make one solid move today. 💻✨

It’s only Tuesday… which means you probably already have something to vent about. 😅
Yappy Hour is your space to talk stakeholders, legacy code, job search stress, or whatever’s been testing your patience this week.
