@F5DevLife I had a great time chatting with you Ryan and hearing about your story and the things you are are working on at the moment. Really excited for your journey in tech. Look forward to talking again.
#100Devs thanks for the follows, I have gotten requests for coffee chats. Im currently in Africa visiting my home country, after Im back, I'll definitely make sure to respond to as many people as I can.
So miracle happened… July 12th, I was officially offered an internship position at an IT company as a software developer.. and the same day, I signed the contract ( it’s paid and will be doubled my income now) @leonnoel, you have literally changed my life completely. #100Devs
Other than the fact that LinkedIn has more organic traffic, you also get other engineers commenting on your posts, especially if your project is really well done. And recruiters love that, it shows credibility when you have engineers working in the industry praising your work
A tip for aspiring devs is to share your projects on LinkedIn. You might not get loads of traffic on your personal portfolio, so try to also share your projects as posts on LinkedIn n make use of the traffic that's already there on LinkedIn
Also try to use a gif or short videos when sharing your projects instead of just links, sometimes people have short attention spans and don't want to leave their feed to click a link.
