I was able to get a job in IT with no experience except for a coding BootCamp. Turns out it was just an IT Staffing company and I have to pass another full set of interviews with their clients before I get paid my salary.

[@souvikkundu]

👍 thanks 😊

[@bookercodes]

You're most welcome 😃

[@danpiths2847]

i couldn't see any resource links towards the end of the video for optimizing the profile Alex. do you think you'd be able to share it in the description again? thank you for the video, it was really insightful and helpful :)

[@bookercodes]

I will edit them in on Monday ✊

Hi Alex. Would this be a good template to reach out to recruiters? Hi [name], I've been seeing a lot of job opportunities from [agency]. I’ve worked as an intern and thought I’d connect with you to gain more knowledge about the open roles. Do you have 7 minutes to talk? I would love to ask you what you look for when you’re interviewing junior developers.

[@milosveljkovic4720]

Do you have any LinkedIn guides as in writing your summary to stand out compared to other Jr.Devs ? I think recruiters cringe when they see "I'm looking to learn from... / I want to progress my career... / Finished course xyz..." etc.

[@bookercodes]

Should I make one 🤔?

[@abdoulayeDiallo-ed2ze]

Wow

[@jesulobajohn8468]

OK, let's say the recruiter is a woman and she's very beautiful and I didn't see anything to admire and flatter other than her beauty, can I say something like. "Hello Megha, you're the most beautiful recruiter I've ever seen, I thought I should reach out to you!"

[@novanoskillz4151]

yea, give it a shot bud!
