this show is called guidance counselor 2.0, because we had guidance counselors in middle school, high school and college, but now as adults we don't have access to that kind of resource, or we at least we didn't until now. this is the 'soft skills' podcast of the software engineering industry, focused on hiring and job search tips. host taylor desseyn and his guests fill in that guidance counselor role, and give job searchers the advice they need to find their next position.

today's guest is josh cirre, developer relations engineer at laravel. josh is a content creator, educator, and dev rel for laravel. name a hobby and he's probably tried it because he still can't decide what he want to be when he grows up. he plays music, he has two girls with a third baby on the way.

among the topics they'll touch on are the power of pretending to have the job you want, the balance of when to go above and beyond and why, and finding where your future employers hang out
