How I got my first job as a developer

This is very smart! I actually worked as a QA for a software team before becoming a developer so I was exposed directly to the agile process before I learned the code!

I think this is spot on. Focusing on talking about the software development lifecycle, working with others and estimating time are much more important to a hiring entity than whether or not you can find a solution to a coding problem.

After reading the whole article, I'm speechless. How can a person present a simple calculator as the product of the year🙈. It explains how to write the project details on the CV and how to Present it to the Interviewer.

I recommend this article for a new developer who is confused about how to write and present the project during the interview process.

A lot of valuable information out there. Thanks for sharing 🙌 And Good luck with the contest as well 😄

What a great article! You made a robust plan for your project.

Amazing writing, Julia. Sold this project better than most full-stack projects built on complex technologies I've seen.

Very insightful article Julia Undeutsch! Especially the "How to write about this project in your CV" section. I learned something really valuable from this article. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more amazing articles from you!

So much valuable information here. Thank you for sharing (^_^)

Great writing and presentation skills you have got. You have articulated your thought beyond imagination.

Excellent article. Thanks for putting this up.

Your methods are good practices that every beginner developer should know and build upon. I am also a self taught FE developer with 6+ years experience and I used many of your tactics in interviews along the way. In fact, just coming from an interview where I used some of them and it went great :) In this fast paced and constantly changing branch, versatility is an important ability, as it's almost impossible to master all concepts/technologies required in a project. If you say that your mindset is oriented towards constantly learning new things and adapting to challenges, it will give you a big advantage in interviews. Make this look like one of your strenghts and it will get you a long way.

Best of luck Julia, and thank you for the article. Congratulations on your job, you're going to be a great developer !

This article is a gem. Thanks, Julia, for sharing your experience. I never thought many things could be told for only an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript project. Gain a lot of insights from this article.

Very well written 👏. This would definitely help out someone who is trying to get their first job as a developer.

Great writeup, I loved all the information you shared!

Keep it up with the rest of the challenge :)

You focused on quality instead of quantity.

Informative 👏, we want more and more like this one 🥰

It was a great read !! Thank you so much Julia for sharing this insightful information 😊🤍

A lot of useful information that would help on a job interview. Thanks for this article

What an amazing way to present a project! This is so clearly laid out and interesting and I would have never thought of presenting something like this. Love it!

Damn' this is mind blowing 🚀 thank you so much. Its gonna very much helpful to me as I'm gonna looking for job from next month.

I really enjoy reading this

It's my first time reading someone article with this much focus.I'm new to this field ,and this article has just boosted my confidence. since I've no money to spend so any courses 😃 so I'm learning at my own.To be honest it's seems hard now but I now I'll worth it if I stick to this core of the actions I've just learned HTML5 and CSS3 now I'm going to start my love JavaScript i'd your guide like how much time should I spent on JavaScript .(also GitHub , replit on their way)

Damn, this was really interesting read 🚀

In my honest humble opinion, the interviewer is already bored.

Very unrealistic.

An interesting thing is that even as you progress through career, knowing how to package and present your work (as well as yourself to that matter) will always remain an invaluable skill.

After interviewing hundreds of developers I know that many amazing and talented developers don't even try to stand out. And that's a pity.

Very good article Julia Undeutsch that was definitely worth the wait and a good read.

Good lord! That was impressively thorough.

I love how you intertwined your existing knowledge and attention to detail with sensible humility throughout, in the sense that, for some of the topics, you didn't claim to have personal experience but just what you had heard or read about it.

I would add that one should apply this method to any previous experience, whether or not it was within the IT industry.

Take any knowledge already gained or prior exposure to tech-related concepts, even if only troubleshooting a coworker's buggy computer, and apply the same template.

While still being truthful, you should leverage each bit of experience and any takeaways to your advantage, both on your resume/CV and during the interview.
