Resume Secrets for New Programmers 

Just the video that I was looking for , Thanks for always delivery quality content!! soon I will get my first dev job .

Hahah was literally just updating my resume to get my first web dev job yesterday

Some great information here. Thanks for the advice :)

Pretty much my experience as well. Many forget that people work and hire other people, not coding machines.

I just wanted to take this time to thank you for your videos. Thank you!

Awesome channel dude!

It helped me to eliminate confusion. Great video 😊.

i like ur expressions in thumbnails, so funny

Hello James. Super helpful video. What projects would you advise I add to my portfolio to earn a junior web developer role in FAANG, Uber or the likes? It would really be helpful. Thanks in advance

Hi, I like very much your content and find it very interesting. I have been in the restaurant industry since I was 15 and now with 32 I’m almost burned. I kept working for over 15 years a 11/13 hours-day job starting from below up to restaurant management but my quality of life has been a nightmare. I’m doing a web development course on udemy but sometimes I feel my motivation dying. Working my job and learning coding from scratch is really hard and sometimes I end up searching for job postings to have an eye at what would I be earning IF I learned coding and thinking that I would start from a junior position can be depressing from the income prospective, at least here in Italy. Do you have any suggestions to keep up with the motivation? Thank you in advance and sorry form my bad grammar, I’m Italian!

You sound a lot like me. I went to a bootcamp, but im 36 trying to get into the business. I have lots of random jobs and my resume tgat i made is not very good. However the people who helped me at bootcamp didnt mention any of my 13 years of work experience and education and only addressed the projects i did at bootcamp. Do you think this is a good approach? I think somehow highlighting the bootcamp but still emphasing prrvious job experience is a better approach. I am not attached at all to my job experience and will gladly not mention it if this is the best approach. Please let me know your thoughts?

hey @devsmak would you put your non-CS degree on your resume when you have zero work experience for example a degree in music or history?

can you talk about why you choose front end over full stack? and why do most self-taught devs choose full stack over front end?

This may be a lengthy comment but I’ll try my best to keep it short. Now as of recently, I’ve made the decision of teaching myself how to code. A decision I’ve never felt more serious about in my life. My goal is to create a high end social media platform which is actually in the design phase (digital renderings). My current plan of action is to learn C++ as my first language (full course on RU-vid) but after heavy research I’m not sure if that would be the most optimal approach; given my goal. What would you recommend I begin learning first? Before I decide to eat, breathe & sleep coding I need to make sure I am using the right set of tools, that would make pursing my vision a lot clearer. Any input you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

First to see
