Programming will not get you any job

You are motivated by a random YouTuber saying he made it as a developer, and so will you. You think to yourself, "Maybe I can do it too." It came easy to you; it wasn't hard to master the skills needed to call yourself a developer. What's next? A job? That's easy. Every company is looking for and would be honored to have you

Wrong!

Learning how to code or be the best developer is 50% of what you need to be hired. We all know that competition has never been higher. More than. At the time of writing, a massive 217,633 tech employees have been laid off this year by 857 companies, according to Layoffs.fyi . a website that tracks industry layoffs.

What can you do?

As I said knowing how to code is 50% of the total task. What is the other 50%?

Knowing how to sell yourself

Yes, you heard it right. Selling yourself is the part that is most often overlooked by developers. Especially the junior developers.

  • Knowing how to interact with employers

  • Having a CV that stands out

  • Having a Portfolio that represents you

These factors collectively constitute the remaining 50% of the skills you need to secure your dream job. Among the three points mentioned above, one stands out as the most crucial. While the first two points are readily available and can be learned online, the most important one often goes unnoticed and is not discussed as extensively as it should be

Portfolio

Having a professional-looking portfolio is something you can't afford to overlook or be indifferent about. Your portfolio is a reflection of your identity. Especially in today's world, where anyone can make false claims about themselves, it becomes a headache for recruiters. To address this issue and verify your information and claims, they often scrutinize your portfolio.

However, that's another challenge you might face. Building a portfolio can be relatively straightforward, but managing one is not always a smooth task. Moreover, selecting a format that presents you in a professional light can also be a daunting decision.

Fortunately, there are several solutions available to address this problem at hand
