Phew so, I just applied to the Kotlin Technical Writer career offering from JetBrains. That was stressful lol! Just thought I'd dump my thoughts out here because why not. I'm young with minimal work experience beforehand, so I'm probably not going to even be considered for the job (since it requires 3 years work experience and "good command of Russian", and I've got neither :D) , but still it was a fun and adrenaline-inducing process to actually write a CV and a proper Cover Letter and to put myself into that semi-narcissistic mindset of listing all my qualifications and skills lol. Honestly applying for jobs is quite an interesting experience, and at least this motivated me to write a good CV and everything so it's a good first step. Thank you JetBrains for somehow indirectly leading me to start looking for jobs, and maybe in the future I will have a Kotlin-oriented job but who knows really! K

(P.S the random channel is honestly great for paragraph-dumping)

"Nyet?"

Good luck! 🙂 I'd love to hear more as you move through the process.
