This content was produced in partnership with Woot!

You may be all stocked up on electronics and gadgets, but what about the essentials? Do you need any spare chargers? Any USB hubs to connect multiple devices? Honestly, many of these things are so useful, and you don’t realize just how much until you need them. Well, the good news is that Woot! is offering some crazy deals on tech gear right now. More specifically, you can get up to 75% off select items while the Woot tech essentials sale is live, until November 30. There are wireless earbuds, charging cables, tempered glass screen protectors, and much more — and you’ll get an additional $2 off the sale price at checkout when you use code TECHWOOT. For example, the Rocketbook Smart Reusable Notebook is on sale for $18, normally $34, which is already saving you an excellent 47% off. But when you use that code, the price drops down to $16. It would make a fantastic gift for the artist in your life — they can digitize their notes and artwork while wiping clean the notebook to reuse over and over, wasting far less paper. If you’re interested, you can shop the sale below, or keep reading to see our top picks.

Before diving in, here are some things to note. First, because of how Woot! works the available items are subject to change. Once they sell out, they’re gone, and so some items might not be available. Next, the coupon code provided is only valid for one use per customer until December 31, 2022.

Even with a great tablet and stylus, it’s hard to beat the tactile feel of taking notes on traditional pen and paper. Unfortunately, if you go the traditional route you’ll also be wasting a lot of paper unless you have this Rocketbook. It’s reusable, and you can wipe the ink right off the page. But before you do, all your notes, sketches, and on-page content can be digitized through the mobile app. You can then store and share those notes with Google Drive, iCloud, Evernote, box, OneNote, Slack, and much more. Sophisticated AI also helps you title and classify your notes so you can search them easier.

10 tips to help you find a new tech role even if you already have a job
ZipRecruiter job interview in progress

This content was produced in partnership with ZipRecruiter.
There's no question, we're in a strange market. There are many opportunities out there, but some of the bigger tech companies are laying people off due to the troubled economy. Some have even imposed a hiring freeze, but that doesn't mean you can't find openings in a tech field. Quite the opposite is true, actually, especially if you know where to look, and more importantly, how to prepare. It doesn't matter whether you already have a job or not, as it may be time to move on and advance your career, or simply look for a much better opportunity. Whatever the case, preparing for new roles, updating your resume, and practicing your interviewing skills, are just the beginning. There's a lot to do, and it can certainly be easy to overlook critical steps. That's precisely why we've put together this guide, detailing 10 tips that can help you find a new tech role, prepare for potential openings, and kickstart your job search journey. They're relevant if you already have a job, but also if you're looking for gainful employment altogether.
1. Define what you're looking for
The tech industry is varied, and there are a lot of roles and opportunities, some even being iterations of larger roles -- like WordPress developer versus software developer, or UX designer versus UI designer. Maybe you're looking for a better opportunity than what you have currently, or maybe you want to find that diamond in the rough. Whatever your plan, you won't recognize a good opportunity if you don't already know what you're looking for. In other words, take some time to sit down and think about what it is you want.

What constitutes an ideal career path for you? Consider your desired salary range, the type of work you're willing to do, whether you're okay with branching out, if you're willing to relocate, what kind of benefits you need, or want, and much more. This is the time to decide if you want to stick with remote or hybrid opportunities versus traditional in-office roles. You might also explore your skillset to understand what unorthodox roles you qualify for. There could be other career paths or opportunities you didn't even realize existed.
2. Define your key disqualifiers
What are bad qualities that you dislike or don't want to see in a potential opportunity? Some tech roles will be way out in left field, and may not even be a good fit for your knowledge, expertise, and skills. Are there verifiable red flags or pain points that you know you want to avoid? There are a lot of buzzwords and phrases used in job postings that can help you suss out undesirable positions.
