Hiring a developer, improving our website & other Creative Director things! [DAY IN THE LIFE VLOG]

Participate in the annual developer survey from Stack Overflow here: charli.link/2023devsurvey
Taking you on a super busy day of interviews for a React web developer and other prep work before I go away for the most of May!
➡️ If you do any level of coding, the annual developer survey is for you! The survey provides so much value from the results and teaches us about our own industry, from an inside POV. Check it out: charli.link/2023devsurvey

Iceland is amazing. I went there in September last year. It was my first trip abroad outside of the US and it blew me away

[@Miss_samanthanz]

Just started my coding journey but have done the survey!

[@lvsmagic]

I just got promoted to Lead Product Designer and am binging your content to help hahaha

[@MarivoneAraujo]

I’ll be your React dev some day! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been working with Next/Js now.

[@ilverin.matriam]

When you hire contractors where do you usually require them to be from? The US preferably or not necessarily?

5:15 You are spot on with that job advice. I read every single job description to see what they're asking for because I want to ensure that I answer all of their questions. If you're not following instructions on the job applications then you won't follow instructions on the job.
