It will be my first conference talk, and I am nervous :)

I don't know how to structure my talk, how to practice etc. I think I need to write a script of all the things I want to say then build the slide to support that script. Much like writing a blog post, or how many youtubers create videos. Is that a good approach?

I was wondering if there are any companies interested in hiring a remote software engineer from Iran.

(I have experience of working with Go, OCaml, Vue.js, Javascript with TypeScript, k8s, some Rust, etc. CV in my HN profile page.)

I love programming. I have been working at a couple of startups in the last 5 years. I want to move my career forward and improve my chances of being hired at a big company that is relatively more stable. I am in my early 30s and I am feeling insecure about the future. I have sent my CV a few times to Google and I didn't get a single response back.

Outside work, I write little programs for fun and to solve my own problems. I contributed to a couple of famous open source projects and blogged about it. I have put most of my personal projects on Github (link in bio). I am willing to put as much hours as required to make myself more employable. But I feel stuck. I don't know what to focus on, what projects to start, or what books to read to get them to notice me.

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks.
