No matter how much I learn ,it still feels that I am still not prepared. It feels like there's more.

I have been a chef for 25 years with a passion for learning web/game development. I have decided to study hard. Now I have just made my resume and started to apply! Thank you so much for the inspiration Kyle.

I'm in my first job and still not ready. Lol

Videos like this make me realize I should’ve been applying a year ago

Thanks Kyle, you're one of the best mentor can be found on KZfaq, love your work man. This video is super motivational too.

People like you are very few. You are making a great impact on people's life and my life too.

Thank you man... I've been following you for a long time, I'll let you know once I get my first job. You are my superman... I really appreciate your support and the genuine dere to help, not just to amass likes and subscriptions.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!

Kyle, this is very inspirational. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this, I've been working with React for several months now and have made measurable progress building my own project. I was beginning to let comparisons bog me down, but this has helped to bring my worry level back down to earth

Appreciate your tips ❤

Kyle, Thank you....just thank you. You are a great person!

Thanks Kyle. Happy New Year!

This was very encouraging

Thank you .. this video really helped me boost my morale

Dope t-shirt !

Thank you for this video

Great video. I actually wanted to know this

*The only Video i need the Most* 😢😢 Thanks alot! You wake my hope...

Honestly, just by listening to your advice, I feel like I resurrected from hopelessness and have a feeling that I'll make it. Thanks for your amazing contents ❤

This is a great video that perfectly answered the question I had! I’ve been making time every single day to practice coding and I keep getting better and faster but I didn’t know when to start applying. After watching this, I feel confident enough to start making resumes and applying. I really appreciate it! (Still going to keep coding every day though!)

Thanks Kyle you are really making my programming journey smooth. Now and then I have that kind of feeling that if I am good enough or fit as a programmer or web developer. And in these times you are the one who lifts me from that negative loop and help me pursue my career as a front end web developer. Thank you Kyle for making this quality motivation videos and tutorials free. May God bless you 🙏🙏.

What a time to have this video. Just gonna start my First Job from next week. I'm a self taught Frontend Dev.

the most useful channel on youtube. we can not thank you enough

great stuff thank you.

Yeah I'm currently working as parttime fullstacks developer now and ready to apply for full time. Greatly thanks for content creator like you in youtube platform. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much

Honestly what you need the most in finding your first job is some luck and a lot of persistence. I applied for 1000 places until one place decided to hire me and its also because the web-chat that I made is similar to what they needed in their project. So they knew I have the skills that they need.

Thank You Senpai 🙏🙏🙏

thanks for this video it , OIam in support (IT) & learninng js, framewok from past 5month its been ups &downs but this vid gave me an hope that ican & start applying to jobs thanks again

you are my online teacher I learn everything from you

I've been learning web dev for about a year and a half now. I was worried that I don't know enough to apply to any jobs. I'm also extremely shy when it comes to meeting new people so that was also a minus. One day I decided that I might as well try to find a decent job and found it the first week after I started searching. I was a member of a local Facebook developers group in my country and the group is fairly active with job postings. I wrote up a decent bio about what technologies I use and what I am currently learning, and some of my ambitions going forward, I also linked my GitHub and portfolio page with a couple of projects. In a matter of days, I got over 10 emails for job interviews and people were actually praising me for the job posting, saying it's really good. I've also noticed a beginner web dev asking me for guidance, it's not like I was a senior dev, lol, but I was glad to help him out and he was extremely grateful. If anything, remember that YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING. Do you think chefs know how to make every single dish at a restaurant they just started working at? Most - if not - all tech companies have an onboarding process and they also allow you to attend seminars. Just like Kyle said at the start, you learn most of what you will use daily at your job - and you get paid to learn! Of course, this might not apply to every company - google, for example, you might need to know a lot more, but for beginners, I think most of the time we think we need to know every single thing before applying, and never doing so. Get out of your comfort zone and apply! If you're still in college and want to do part-time, I am certain there are companies willing to hire you as a freelancer. If anyone is interested I'd be glad to help you out as well!

Good advice

Thanks friend.

U really motivated me.

thank you so much

I love Rise Against!

thanks kyle the job requirements are a lie section made my day

all kyle said was absolutely right and also what i experienced on my professional career , im always afraid i will failed the expectation from the job requirements

Thanks Kyle

You only need to do to know if you ready is to apply. Thanks kyle!

I think I'm ready!

Perfect!!!!Sometime unexperienced developer don't have enough confidence because they are so impressed by what more experienced developers can do.Many year ago when i got my first freelance project i only knew HTML, very medium at CSS et Jquery(didn't really know Javascript a part from some basic topics),basic PHP et basic MYSQL...I grew with that project and at the end the client was very happy to work with me in other projects.The key here is really self confidence in the basic knowledge because the career alway starts with basic knowledge and we grow from there.Let me start sharing this video

You save me man. thanks.

Will see in this year

Helpful

I like your guitar btw. I play since I was 5

I'm in this phase "am I ready or not " ,thanks kyle

Love your content! I’m just curious, what type of equipment do you use to record your videos?

Thank you for the video! Was really looking for this boost in confidence! Based on what you said I'm overqualified for a Junior role! hahahaha I love your channel and it really helped me improve from not know how to deal with flex in CSS to building a "large" scale React App. I know you don't know me, but you been an amazing teacher! Thank you, again, for the content. It really helped me get to the career path I love and am excited about.

Can't thank you enough, how this video saved me from tutorial hell!

A Rise Against fan, I see! ✊🏻

I started learning Python from November 2019 and got a job in one of the start ups in March 2020. But the start up did not ran for more than 3 months. I came out and started applying for jobs, but it was difficult to get the job with the skills I had and experience what companies looking for in the Covid19 era. So worked for non tech domain to survive and was learning python and working small projects on my local machine (with resources from internet). So my query now is, I have 2 self projects built: 1. Grocery Store management project ,where it has Python flask framework as a Backend (which I was aware off), For front end I have used html,css,Javasrcipt which is new to me and I have learnt these front end skills ,whatever needed for this project while working on the project. Also for database I have used Mysql which is again the same thing as front end.i,e.. Learnt these Database skills ,whatever needed for this particular project. 2. The second project is attendance tracking, where I have used Python for backend using Flask framework, For front end, I have used react framework which again I have learnt along with working and have little bit knowledge on react from this project. For Database I have used PostGreSql. Also this project uses, Machine learning concept to predict the time, the person comes in and goes out. The reason I have used this project is gain knowledge on react, database and also Machine learning for my resume. Can anyone suggest me, whether this is the right approach for applying for job.? Thank you.

Thank You for this video I am 12 and I am now looking forward on what to do for the future

Make a video on explaining the questions and interview process for front end junior web dev jobs(not for faang) and also explain good front end portfolio projects

Angular tutorial! Let’s go

Motivating

you are the best

Continuous improvement

You are going to learn A LOT from your first job. From my personal experience, I was asked to built a POS web app for an E-Comm app. And i was terrified at first but man the job actually gives me so much knowledge about web development especially using React.

Your words give me hope, especially now that I'm trying so hard not to be a failure and end up on the streets. Oh, and I know html, css, JS, React, a bit of node, MongoDB, git ; I'm also a UI/UX designer with commercial projects and still can't even get an internship in front-end. Isn't it funny?

All the words are true!!!... i learnt c, c++,js, java, c#,php they use same pattern but syntax is somewhat different in some part!!! but the main core is data structures, oops, conditions, loops ete

Happy new year. You never mention ExtJS, is it a second class framework to you ?

My CSS skills are pretty good but i'm having the hardest time getting a grip on JavaScript... I'm a month away from getting out of this bootcamp and it opened my eyes to how much stuff there is to learn out there and it's pretty intimidating lol

I’m crying because I need this to be true. I made an ultimatum to ton hard with application by the end of the summer.

“The only way you can really know if you’re ready is to just start applying to jobs” Mannn but I’m shook bro! 😭

Hey! I'm currently studying a Informatics Engineering degree, and I'd like to know if there's a way to get any kind of work even if it's not that well payed to get started in the job world. I'm studying at the same time as working on a supermarket and honestly, even if I get payed less I'd preffer to work on something related to what I'm studying than a super market because that's gonna make me get experience. What's your experience o this? Could you give any advice? Thanks!!

I'm a junior in college and I don't even feel ready for an internship 😭. Now, I started learning web dev like weeks ago so ofc I'm not ready but dang. I actually studied this bc I liked web dev (only saw html and css tho) in HS, but in college I lost focus of web dev so I mostly used java and C++, I did take a couple of web dev classes but I haven't even been taught javascript there yet, one was html/css + wordpress focused (but I didn't learn anything new, like AT ALL, I literally just learnt flexbox and grid from your videos this week and it wasn't hard, it doesn't even take a day to understand the basics,, what a waste of my semester seriously, I could've been watching your videos, ughh) and another class was about like about CMS and I just learnt some PHP. This semester I'm gonna have an actual web dev class but I asked around and apparently it's with typescript, that's good too tho. Kinda sucks that I'm just actively learning until now. I did try the odin project like a year and a half ago, and I started it again like 3 weeks ago and I'm about to finish the foundations section yayy. But I'm kind of panicking since I'm a junior already and haven't even had an internship.

Just sent 2 applications. Really the best advice is to just apply.

I can relate with you same happened with me in my first intership 😂

So what to build like projects then?

I had a interview recently, where the company listed Deno as required with 4/5 "skill level". I asked the guy conducting the interview "So, I am curious, how do you find Deno, is it really that better than Node?" and he goes "oh no no no, we are not using it, we just want people to know how to use it". The website that I am using for looking for a job lists 4/5 skill as equivalent to a senior dev.

Hi, Kyle! I heard you said once that, before getting your first job, you had researched the companies for which you were going to apply before actually applying to their job offers, so that you could focus your efforts, instead of sending tons of applications, and also make sure you'd end up in a work environment you'd like, and all that payed off in the end. Could you please share how you got informed about the companies' cultures and how did you know they would be a good fit?

a cpl people in the bootcamp i just got thru quit a few weeks in so they could re-enroll next cohort when they were better prepared. I thought it was a bad idea, because that was the whole point of the bootcamp in the first place. Now they are 3 months behind everyone else who graduated, applied, got hired, and now gaining experience on the job. not to mention we are entering a nasty recession, so there may not be any jobs available to them in a few months time

Great

Any input on how covid 19 has affected entry level/junior level positions? I'm a recent grad with no internship experience (with a couple of projects) and i seem to have a difficult time even finding entry level positions.

Well what about if I have a job starting this summer how do I know if I'm ready for it?

This hasn't been my experience. I have projects with react, html css vanilla js ect and I cant find any job that doesn't require you to already be at a professional level. Haven't even got any interviews. There is so much competition for jobs here that I can't find anywhere thats willing to "train me on the job"

Should I learn react or node and databases first?

I am 2.5 years of experienced software engineer. I am 24. I can confirm what Kyle said is true. I got my first job based on my CS concepts instead of framework and stuff knowledge. That's what they look for as a junior or entry level developer. Trust me, I entered as noob and now I experienced so much, seniors around your, your manager, each of them is contributing to your growth in certain way. with experience you get to know lot of things, but not everything & that is fine. I worked as full stac dev, but my first job gave me light, That I really like to design and build pages, So I am looking for job as Frontend Developer, but expectations from me are much higher than entry level developer. Lot of recruiters just reject because they want react developer and I have no professional experience that, lot of them mention they are good if candidate knows either of these good enough.Thanks Kyle for inspiring, this same thing applies for mid level post too :). For people looking for their first job, github is your only place to visit daily, build , show , shine, get the job!

Kyle is the best

50 years of Deno experience, and Deno launched in 2020! Lol!

This is the second time am seeing a similar video

I think youtube reads my mind just got my first internship yesterday and I was just thinking this

Totally agree i applied as a mern stsck developer in company they selected me and now they give me small modules in react to build and teaching me vue.js

This is nice to hear, but I just don’t know if it’s true. Where should you look for jobs, specifically? And what requirements on the posting should tell you to click away, specifically?

I started applying jobs yesterday and I'm feeling anxius while I wait for that single email telling me that I would have my first interview, I've been thinking that no body will answer, I just build like 5 projects and 2 of them with css, react & redux, now I feel like they will considerate me after looking at my projects. Thanks for this relief

I made Python print something! Am I ready?

Just landed my first job as a full stack web developer. I am extremely nervous to start. Thank you for making this video really gives me some peace of mind.

What do you think about Laravel jobs?

The projects we do from KZfaq channel can we add them in our portfolio plz must reply

I know well CSS/SASS, JavaScript(ES5, ES6+, jQuery, react), html5 etc but the most I feel comfortable with react.js I don't need even search how to solve issue on the internet.. cus I can do it by myself and your videos helped me out a lot while I was studying exactly React ;) I'm looking for a job exactly based on react cus I feel so much comfortable - even tho I have created a lot of static websites, websites based on PHP. Now i'm testing myself in node.js, express.js and next.js (i'm doing it for myself not for seeking a job with those technologies). I think if I would not have a confidence in some technology I would never try to find a job in that technology..

Maybe in two years I will be ready.
