Hi Ryan,

Thank you for the insightful article on backchannel alignment. The strategy of building support and refining proposals before making a public presentation is indeed a smart and strategic approach.

As a computer science student working on projects like an e-commerce app and a collaboration platform, I’m eager to secure a remote part-time role at a major tech company before graduation. Given my current situation, I’m interested in applying the principles of backchannel alignment to enhance my job search.

Specifically, how can I leverage feedback from my network to build support and strengthen my candidacy, especially when I lack formal work experience? Any strategies for using these principles to find and secure opportunities would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your advice!
