I would suggest working on your online presence. Blogging can be a very good thing ( or vlogging, if you are more into this). The fact that you are here is probably a good start!

Blogging has a lot of benefits, which is outside the scope of this discussion I guess. But, if I try to put
myself in an employer's shoes, I would like to see that a potential employee cares about his work to put himself out there.

I don't know if checking one's blog or github is something that employers do, but I hope so.

I've been considering blogging ever since I discovered dev.to (thanks to @ben and @jess for creating this place), and I've neglected my GitHub account for far too long, so I'll start there, I guess.

Thanks for the advice!

Hell yeah. It's great advice.
