@codingWithMatt Thank you Matt! It's been amazing, hard to believe it sometimes π. I'd never expected to get such a fantastic job as my first one as a web developer! No more hot restaurant kitchens for me π€£. How's your job and new career going?!
@ChrisWiegman I couldn't understand at junior job interviews, they asking for these skills like it's the basics. Luckily, I found an amazing employer and dev team, that is giving me enough time to learn these skills. But it's definitely hard for a junior dev!
@CJDesiderio For 17 months I thought that get a job in tech would never happen. A month ago, I got an offer for my dream job. Keep pushing, it will happen!
@chadmccullough Freelancing, helped me build my portfolio. Took me 17 months and 319 job applications, but last Monday I started my career as a full-time web developer. Keep pushing, you will get there!
@LeonNoirSR @tanoaksam You will get there! Keep networking, it was thanks to a referral that I got to be the first to be interviewed and got my job. From stocking shelves in a grocery store to web development now!
@tanoaksam Exactly, I applied for so many jobs. 30 days ago I was thinking that would take me another 1 or 2 years to get a job. This week was my first week as a full-time web developer, working in an amazing company with amazing people! Couldn't be happier! π
@TheJackForge I still can't believe I was working overnight stocking shelves, in a grocery store two weeks ago, and this Tuesday will be my first day as a full-time web developer!
I get really bored sometimes watching code tutorials. The best way I've found to truly learn something, it's by breaking it and trying to fix it. I always learn way more by researching how to make something work!
@MaruLucenaT I've been living in the USA for a decade now, and it's still hard to express myself sometimes in English. I can think in Portuguese, Spanish and the word in English can't come to my mind lol
@Emeric39958396 Sorry, answering your question. No, I had no experience with programming or web development. But anybody can learn this. Only jump to another subjection, once you completely understand what you are focusing right now. and build projects!!!
