This is literally what I did to get my first job:

  • I opened Google Maps
  • Searched for Web Development
  • Checked all the result near my home or acceptable places (public transport directly from my house)
  • Made a list of web dev agencies/software factories with their websites
  • Checked if they have a jobs section
  • Removed bad websites (personal opinion on what is a bad websites here)
  • Pick one and sent my CV
  • Got the job a week after that

I'm sure I had a lot of lucky to get my first job on the first try but I think the idea of searching near places still works in major cities (I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina back then which is the capital).
