Hello guys, I wanted to know when we can know that we are ready for the job market!

Question

Any tips for beginners and things to do to get ready? Any advices of additional training? Anything that helps to get started (besides SoloLearn courses of course).

Thanks in advance, and sorry for any grammatical errors, I'm brazilian by the way, nice to meet everyone!

Answer 1

Even if you have a bachelor's degree, you may feel unqualified for the job market. There are also people who leave a Bootcamp or courses quickly join a development position.

My advice is that you start building applications to practice what you know and that as you go feeling comfortable rise the difficulty of them (this will also serve as a Portfolio for potential employers). Another important thing is that depending on what you want to do see the requirements they ask to hire a Junior Developer. That way you can give you an idea of what you need to master at least intermediate. And if you meet the requirements animate to apply for the position.

Good luck!

Answer 2

as long as you have a portfolio, some place online that displays your knowledge the results may surprise you

Answer 3

this guy gives a nice presentation of preparing yourself, although short but he includes good learning resources and tips.
he had a good academic background with statistics and genuinely interseted in learning hence the best outcome but it's possible without solid academic background too
