    3 insider tips for landing development roles on Devex

    We kicked off our 2025 career event series with an “ask me anything” session opening the floor to your questions about Devex Career Account membership. Here are a few key takeaways to help you find your next development role.

    By Justin Sablich // 20 January 2025

    As an already competitive global development job market embarks on a year clouded by additional uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to have a firm grasp of all the tools Devex offers for those seeking their next role.

    This is why we kicked off 2025 with an “ask me anything” session that opened the floor to your questions about Devex Career Account membership. I was joined by Raquel Alcega, Devex’s director of digital products, in providing key insights into how to take full advantage of CA membership benefits, including hacks for optimizing your job board search and the vital role your Devex profile plays.

    I also provided an overview of the content available to Career Account members and shortcuts for accessing key benefits, including our Career Center page of curated articles, past and upcoming events, CV templates, and select downloadable reports such as our recently published 54-page guide to development’s top sectors.
