Рет қаралды 53,900
Күн бұрынHi friends! In this video I am going to be sharing with you how to get a programming job with NO experience. It is the problem so many of us face when we start job hunting (or even further in our career, transitioning into different roles) on how to gain experience if you are just starting out in that new role. I am sharing with you some tips and ideas for how to gain that experience without having to have had a job in that role before. I hope you find this video valuable and helpful!

// My Story
I am currently a software developer who once modeled and thought I wanted to pursue a career in the fashion industry. While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.

I’m a recruiter and a career coach, and you’ve just described my exact approach I use with clients and that I’m starting to use for myself, from First Timers Only to making a project for a friend or as a volunteer and just saying “client”. Absolutely spot on, great job! Another resource I point folks to a collection of free classes called the Open Source Computer Science Degree. I’d also suggest finding some Discord groups of programmers, particularly if you aren’t the “usual” person who takes this career path (a woman in tech, black in tech, trans or otherwise queer). If that’s you, there are programming groups of people from your background who will help you break in. If that’s not you, pick literally any other meetup tech type group.

The truth is we don't get a lot of projects or even a single project from a client. When I was just starting programming, I create apps for the company I was working for, not that they were asking for it. It's one way I learn and get into the mud. Some of the apps I made, the company have used it. It was free for them. who won't? Right? Then I added those accomplishments to my resume. I have the codes. When I have the interview, I show them and tell them how I coded. They just wanted proof that those are yours.

Good video. In my point of view, Experience is how you carry yourself as brand. Try to find the problems around you and try to get the best possible solution. Ask questions about your surroundings. You will learn new things. This is the real experience that you will carry in to your interview and work. If you have the required solution and skill set of the problem of that Organization, you are in. I got my first job without experience.

That’s interesting. What preorders have you contributed to? If you contribute to no name projects I could see that. If you contribute to tools they use then I guarantee they’ll care. Contributing to eslint, and other big js projects got me in the door places I wouldn’t have otherwise. Also got mentors in the community light years ahead of where I was at.

I start "messing " around off and on writing code around 2004, so would this count as experience ? But at 56, I'm getting back at it seriously. I've had some interest from a few tech people, but probably need to spend a few more weeks of practice and I'm in the healing process from a broken finger and typing with one hand and two fingers, at the moment lol.

if you have worked 4-5 years with your first stack and became proficient with it (senior level) , then it won`t hurt you get some experience with another direction. But if you are still new, then better concentrate on web development (judging by tech you started with). Recruiters won`t take seriously someone who says that he is beginner in 10 languages. Obviously I am talking from career building point of view, if you just having fun, and messing around etc - then it is different (still probably not a good idea to leave JS for a long time when you are beginner, since at the beginning it is easy to forget stuff when you don`t practice constantly and become clumsy with your coding)

Okay. But how does it about with Ageism like 40, 45 newly aspirant programmer, or let's say with a gap of 10 years?
@Alpha_Chamber 9 ай бұрын
I'm 38 and about to transition into the tech industry from running a bakery/donut shop and now being a mail carrier for the USPS. My advice, without evening knowing, is simply to leverage your strength in prior careers and wisdom of time/life lessons. Ageism is a problem IF they see no nherent value in you beyond what a 26 year old with the same basic resume may have. Only because I think they fear that older folks may have issues taking orders from their younger bosses or may be stuck in their ways. What we offer at our age is invaluable. Having a 10-15 year age gap brings experiences and lessons that NOTHING else but time can bring. Make a list, reflect on what you know now from when you were in your young-mid 20s, and then learn how to craft those into value statements on a resume. My soft skills would blow most people out of the water. Running a small family business? Spoke with and interacted with customers nonstop from your local family up to the city, local businesses we worked with, to the schools, churches, etc. Mail carrier? I interact with every day people on a face to face level daily. I can go into any situation without knowing anyone and come out with a new group of friends, a bunch of new contacts, and invitations to hang out/events. Plus running a business, I put out fires 24/7, and I streamlined our processes constantly to work around employee shortages, material shortages, increased costs, etc. All of this to say Certainly you've got something, anything, that you've developed as a skill set from ANY job over the last two decades. Play your hand, it's all you got! Age brings wisdom and wisdom only comes with time and life experience. A good employer will see the value in that, plus you are trainable as you arent stuck in your ways after doing tech for 15 years already. You are a wiser, more finely polished clean slate. My age doesn't concern me a single bit, you've got this if you want it. Best of luck to you
