@Ranchonyx thankyou! I love using the pomodoro method and I really wanted to build something I could use for myself. Would you consider it job worthy?

@yellow-dog I don't have an appealing cv. I have an average sales job and unfinished degrees.

@Fast-Nop My application letters always have my motivation in it and why I am a good fit for the job.

I did do some research but I don't actually know how to properly write one.

@legacy07 selftaught !

@HughRant Big companies or startups?

@HughRant how do you network with companies? You knew people at these companies?

@HughRant how did you do it?

@Demolishun I suppose. Ego is a big thing here. If they earn more than you they feel some type of way I have this sales job where we sell phones with a plan. We have to ask customers what their income is. And they shit on me because they know it's more than I earn. Everytime.

@andrewprohde after so many rejections I prayed for a little luck. My gf who had no experience, didn't like tech at all, has no degree, got hired as a frontend dev. She has what I want at the first try!!!! Do I have to build the next Amazon or Google to get hired :/

@Demolishun I live in Amsterdam. A lot of Dutch devs they just rejected me when I reached out. I could attend a meetup I guess..

@andrewprohde I started learning frontend a year ago. Thought I was job ready. Applied and got rejected over a 100 times. Was devastated. Nobody believed in me. Everytime I had an interview they gave me an assignment that was made for people who had over 3 years of experience. I applied for junior positions...

@jdebs I went to college but dropped out because I didn't like what I chose.. 3 times. So I am in major debt. I can't afford it to go back to college. I HATE my sales job. So I have set a goal to learn as much as I can untill end of this year and wanted to kick off the new year with a job. Also so I can provide for my family because I don't want to do anything else other than programming

@Demolishun this is great advice! I know it will take some time learning all this. But this is awesome advice thank you man !

@bahua wow legend man. These frameworks and new languages don't compare to that.

@vane failure is the way forward.

I don't want to be 30 and then get the job. I love what I do know. But time is of the essence and I need help from all you legends. I have got untill end of the year to become a working dev.

@tombatron I really do. I want to get a job in development.

@dudeking you are my hero now

@dudeking did you have a mentor or teachers?

@12bitfloat @dudeking I had stupid interests when I was that old. I finally found something that I am interested in.

@AleCx04 Appreciate the resources. I'm halfway with Edwin's course. So I am on the right track?

@norman70688 my bad. But great advice! Doing a course right now on building a CMS.

@ltlian They won't listen. They're stuck in 2010.

@C0D4 What should I build? And what should I absolutely master to be able to be entry level ready?

@AleCx04 I'm doing a course on Udemy right now. By Edwin Diaz. Building a CMS with PHP and mySQL.

@ltlian what would you suggest someone like me should do?

I was "that course guy" for so long. Completed a lot of JS courses but no real projects.

I'm learning PHP right now.

@Alice I will ! @EDWCode I appreciate that. I really do.

@C0D4 It's definitely not finished yet. I will publish it when it's done.

I can not handle it if I show it right now.

@rantsauce I would hold onto that degree. What year are you in?

@Fast-Nop But my imagination stops here. I just do not know what "good enough" is. If someone could tell me build this or that. I will do my best to do so. But I can't think of something right now what is in my skillset what will be considered as "good enough". With only less than a year experience nothing will be impressive because everyone else had made it or it's just not relevant anymore.
