How to Get a Developer Job – Even in This Economy [Full Course]

Thanks so much for letting us build this course!!! Hope it helps some folks. The technical skills are only half the battle (that doesn't mean you can skimp on em tho)

Did anyone wake up to this playing? I was watching some podcast, when I woke up this is playing lol.

00:20 - 17:30 1. how to allocate your time: before the threshold of applying a job, 100% time to learning; after the threshold, shouldn't stop learning, split the time 50/50. 2. signal ang noise analogy, give employers the signal you are the right one. 17:32-19:02 learning by doing(practicing), if you could build something people are still using, that would be a good signal. 19:05-21:52 try to find a job out of pity is a bad strategy. 21:53-26:41 Portfolio Projects: an interesting project is very effective. 26:42-30:47 Building a project is most efficient way to learn and to show that you know how to code. A project not always is an app, it also could be a library. 30:48-34:25 Set a realistic goal, because only if when your goal is concrete enough, you will know when you have achieved it, more specific your goal is, more driving it is. 34:26-47:10 One impressive project is way better than 30 mediocre lackluster projects. How to write a good readme and why you should avoid using word like "just". 47:11-53:33 How to write quick start, usage, contributing etc.

Gonna watch this as soon as I get home from work!! Thank you for always putting out great content for people trying to get into programming jobs!!💙

...how the heck did I get here.

This is gold. The video is full of good and interesting advices not only for entry-level developers, but for experienced developers too. Though I've been coding for a long time developing dozens of websites from my tiny company, I'm having a hard time finding new clients and projects, so I'm gonna put in good use some of the tactics said here. Thank you and happy coding. :)

I've worked for 2 companies so far since graduating, a total of 3 years for both. Got laid off and looking. It's been a year. No callbacks, no interviews, no nothing. Revised my resume a hundred million times, cold emails, even making it a LatEx resume to beat ATS systems. Nothing. The only thing wrong that I can point to is my location. That's the only thing I can think of considering I live in Africa

I got in by going help desk > technical administration > systems admin > now software developer with very little training or projects . Just basic hmtl css and some c# . ...

I'm in the same situation as the example of the guy who graduated more than a year ago and doesn't have a job. I graduated in the middle of the pandemic and I couldn't get a job so I continued with my normal job and after a few months I stopped applying for jobs and the worst thing was that I stopped studying. I regret it a lot and now I'm making up for wasted time reviewing everything I did and learning what I should. The challenge will be to have this bachelor's degree on my resume, which increasingly increases the time without job experience. little experience writing in English

The amount of "Jr" listings I see that ask for 5+yrs of experience is insane.

What an amazing video. If people wondering if these tips work. Yes, some of the things mentioned here are what helped me land my first job. If I had this video when I was looking, I would of probably landed my first job even quicker. Lots of actionable things here.

Thank you for this video! I have 4 years of experience and I can tell this is gold!

Thanks for this! I've been building my own website for about 15 years, I learned bit of code over the years until about three years ago, and then did some local classes via local adult ed classes, so I've actually coding for about three years, and rebuilding site, this year. I've done back end C# mainly over the last 13 months, but going back into front- end doing some HTML, CSS and JS refreshers. Going for getting hired this year. Turning 57 this year, I've needed to get laser focused.

This is what I need! Thanks for understanding my needs

Thanks guys. Every bit of help is greatly appreciate in this grim market. But one thing I have to point out is that it's NOT getting easier for subsequent jobs unless you're relying on cronyism. In fact, finding a job after a gap is much much harder than your first ever job.

I still have a lot of learning left because at a certain point in your talk about projects I had no idea of the jargon you used for GO and the different APIs.

im 30 n planning to change my career domain to coding , any hopes ?

I'm going back doing more projects. Some concepts in coding still don't click yet for some reason and my unimaginative self can't think of ideas to create my own projects.

I understand this is for backend, but it seem to useful for front-end as well. The electronic drums are very cool, I've been into electronic music since about 1980.

To Quincy , Beau and the creators of this course. THANK YOU!
