How do you acquire your first job ?

Question

Hey guys,
as many of you, I want to become a professional developer (in my case web). I know that it helps a lot, if potential customers see your skills or projects you already have done, but how do you start ?
Is it a good idea to create sample websites, that you can show to proof your skills ?
And what do you think about all the freelance websites ? - Is there even a chance to get a job, when you never had one before ?

Answer 1

I used my github account as a portfolio. I pushed there all of my web projects. One day my future employer noticed that activity and offered me a job. I always knew that I would get my first job that way ;)

Answer 2

yes, creating a portfolio of your knowledge is a great thing to do, when never worked professionally with that. Generally for web development(front-end), companies require a lot, like HTML/CSS, javascript, jquery, bootstrap CEO, etc Only if you have knowledge of frameworks of css/js, will be easier to get the job. samething for back-end development.

Answer 3

you can start from your friend or family, tell them that you can probably solve their problem. always offering your skill to anyone when it's possible. show off your work on github, bit bucket everywhere until you're noticed. don't forget to pray 😁

Answer 4

xamarin is to advance for bigginers becouse they don't have an idea on xml den how they can survive with xaml I hope it's pretty too hard. learn one by one it may take little time but you should cover all topic and ideas. related to particular technology.

Answer 5

The idea is to keep building something always with whatever knowledge you have. Keep developing websites and upload it to somewhere(try Github) through which you would be able to show your knowledge and skills to the employer. Once you get a good grip on development, you can try advancing in it by adding newer stuff. Later on you'd be more confident when you'd take up freelancing work. All the best :)
