Shortest path to get a job in tech

[@jonathanjohnson2785]

Stop learning for learning's sake 🤣 🤣 That caught me off guard

for real tho!

I don't know why KZbin recommended this to me, but it's really helpful, especially now that I'm awaiting my graduation (Bsc. Mathematics and Computer Science) and I'm jobless.

[@dericjyyee]

That's probably why! Just focus on the key pointers in this video. All the best!

One question, how do you find your first employers after having built some Projects and having acquired the necessary skills for web or app development?

[@dericjyyee]

My first ones - I relied entirely on cold reachout to my social circle: Friends, friends of friends, relatives, etc. Just putting the word out there that I'm doing this and i can help them out. Be honest that you're new! They're likely to give you a shot if you're not asking for a salary too high. this is the standard path i would recommend as juniors. Only after stacking some projects, testimonials, case studies under your belt, will i explore using tools to automate cold reachouts, linkedin, digital ads, etc. Those really helped me scale my business. perhaps in another video!

[@dericjyyee]

Definitely!

@@dericjyyee how many projects do u think are sufficient to apply for entry level or junior level job, and also how complex those projects should look like, something like authentication etc should be covered?

[@dericjyyee]

@@the_anonymous369 as long as you covered the items in the video you should be good enough to try for entry level roles! Instead of adding more and more things I rather focus on doing the few things extremely well! Everything else boils down to your communication skills & luck
