Still can't find a fuckin job, I've been learning React for the past three months, I'm a fresh graduate but I worked with other frameworks in the past such as .NET, I made multiple projects and uploaded them on github still nothing, seems like companies r only willing to hire seniors.

Let me guess :

You resume is a rainbow of all technologies you tried once ?

Not ONE completed project ? (In an entreprise environnement, not personal projects)

Truing to tell that you are fast learner and can do anything needed for the company ?

If it’s even close to the truth, it is normal. These kind of resumes goes in delete without even answering candidate

Not inaccurate. Lots of companies want to buy skills other people paid for, and outsource lower end positions. Are you looking local only or are you willing to relocate?

Example, right now we are looking for a junior dev. His responsibilities will be 50% custom code (Some scripts we need for automation, data imports etc) and 50% on QA and automation of QA.

Well, we are asking for 1 year experience in C#/.Net. That’s all.

The number of PHP, Java, react etc people is crazy.

“I’m a fast learner and already read about .net” : yeah no. We are here to help you progress, but you need to have a fucking base knowledge.

@SortOfTested local, relocating is probably gonna be quite difficult, I'm from the middle east.

@NoToJavaScript I can give u my GitHub link, u can tell me what you think.

@FuckTS Naan, it’s very public space here, don’t do it.

@NoToJavaScript well at least give me an advice on how to find a job

@Christos3012 my online portfolio is very outdated, I wanna send u my github in someway and u can tell me what I can improve.

@FuckTS Focus your resume on things/technologies you want (and know at least a little how).
Let’s say you want to work in front-enf with react.
Your resume should say something like “ My front end specialization is working with react. I’ve already completed some projects with this technology. For example this personal project where you can see how I manipulate data and use react : link”.
Don’t include technologies you “know” but didn’t directly worked with.

Be ready to responds to dumb questions.

Don’t ever say you are a fast learner, it implies you know nothing and want to use entreprise money and time to learn.

@NoToJavaScript who the fuck expects a junior Dev to have experience? The definition of a Junior Dev is "no professional experience at all with the required core technologies or technologies that are close to them and willing to learn them". A dev with one year of professional full time experience in C#/.Net is not a junior in that technology any more. I know management will disagree but they just want to keep the salary as low as possible.

@don-rager For me Junior dev is someone who finished the degree AND did some personal projects for fun. Our requirement (1 year) Includes personal projects (We added it in the description. It is written literally: 1 year in c#/.net experience including personal projects)

Someone who NEVER did a personal project is someone we don’t want

@FuckTS
Yeah, that's definitely going to make it hard. Best of luck, hoping for you!

@Christos3012 it's really hard to Pin point how Long an individual has to work professionally with a technology in Order to Put them in those vague categories. Someone can have 5 years of experience in which He repeated His First year 5 Times of you know what I mean. And someone Else can be a god with that same technology even though He only used it in his side projects for about a year
乁( •_• )ㄏ

@NoToJavaScript I guess we need standardized definitions.
another thing that's unique to the modern dev world: companies expect to hire people whose hobby is their work and who educate themselves in their free time. Imagine a company Not hiring a chemist because he doesn't cook meth in his free time.

@Christos3012 how can I show a demo of my projects without them having to clone it from github? Don't I have to buy a domain for that? I guess I can use my old student email to get a free .me domain from github.

@don-ragerNo it is not.

Of cause it depends on personal skill, but for Senior for example it’s a well know value (Applicable to ANY work, not only dev) : 10.000 hours.

This average value for average human to become good at something. It varies greatly from one person to anot her , but it is an average.
Just to tell you, we have exactly the same technical test (6 fast questions) for juniors and seniors. Except we expect juniors to get half wrong and seniors get 100%. If ‘senior” can’t get 100% on our test, he is far from senior.

@FuckTS
Sign up for AWS free tier, you can operate a t2 micro with Amazon Linux for free each month. Static sites, you can host in s3 for pennies with static site hosting enabled.

@NoToJavaScript we also have a different definition of Senior devs in my company. A good dev can apply his skills in every technology and a senior dev emerges from spending time in a project and having a lot of responsibilities. No one can enter any project and be an expert in its minute details instantly. The senior dev is simply the expert for a project who is great at handling his technologies and has lots of work experience that is agnostic to the specific technology i.e. engineering

Anyways what should I make as another project? A friend told me to make a crud app with JWT, so I guess I should do that?

@don-rager Ahh, here is a big difference.
Right now we have an intermediate dev, who has Senior level on our current project. (And salary which goes with that). He is a responsible for big projects.
But when you are looking to recruit a NEW dev, he doesn’t now anything about the project.

are you looking for local or remote positions?

@ben85ts mostly local but remote wouldn't hurt, how likely is that to happen though as a fresh graduate?

I would have 2 Tipps

1 make a good Personal webpage (No Wordpress or Wix)

2. Create a LinkedIn account and try to get a few connections

@dUcKtYpEd no idea what value this adds to the subject but ok.
