## Job Search (Personal Contracting)
|
|
|
|
### Target roles
|
|
- Principal / Senior / Staff Engineer
|
|
- Frontend Architect, Full-Stack Lead
|
|
- React, Vue, TypeScript, AWS, PHP stacks
|
|
- Remote or hybrid preferred — Omaha NE base
|
|
|
|
### Search filters
|
|
```
|
|
Keywords: "React" OR "Vue" OR "TypeScript" OR "AWS" OR "Next.js"
|
|
Location: Remote (United States)
|
|
Job type: Contract, Full-time
|
|
Experience: Director, Executive (maps to senior IC / lead levels)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Easy Apply vs. Direct Apply
|
|
- **Easy Apply** — fast, good for volume. Pre-fills from profile.
|
|
- **Direct Apply** — sends to company ATS. Use for top targets.
|
|
|
|
### Saved searches
|
|
Set up saved searches with email alerts for:
|
|
- `React architect remote contract`
|
|

|
|
### Tagging prospects in AMS pipeline
|
|
After identifying a candidate, log to the appropriate Discord channel:
|
|
- Initial find → `#prospected` (channel ID: `1446581198179799120`)
|
|
- Contacted → `#contacted` (channel ID: `1446581227992780972`)
|
|
- Meeting set → `#meetings-scheduled` (channel ID: `1446581306166087730`)
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ AMS pipeline channels are monitored by the sales-helper bot. Stick to pipeline data — no casual conversation.

## LinkedIn API / Automation Notes
|
|
|
|
LinkedIn heavily restricts automation. For any programmatic work:
|
|
- Use **official LinkedIn APIs** only (requires app approval)
|
|
- Do not scrape or use unofficial clients — account ban risk
|
|
- For bulk outreach, use LinkedIn's native **InMail** or **Sales Navigator** features
|
|
- Browser automation (Whisker/Playwright) should be used sparingly and human-like
|
