For 15 months I have been trying to get a coding job. I have a Bachelors in Computer Science, I graduated in 2012. It's a long story, but for years I was told by people I trusted that there was no future in coding and my information flow was heavily restricted. After working as a computer tech for some time, I got back into the coding habit and started looking for work, applying to coding jobs, starting a github, learning python. And for 15 months, despite passing coding tests and white board interviews, I have always been either rejected in favor of "a candidate with more experience" or asked how many enterprise e-commerce applications I have written as side projects. I saw the thread a while ago on how to get experience, but I have trouble coming up with side projects because well, it's been done already. Should I keep trying? </p> career beginners help discuss Christopher Steinmuller Thu, 23 Nov 2017 07:33:10 +0000 https://dev.to/csteinmuller/hello-world-1pi https://dev.to/csteinmuller/hello-world-1pi <p>Hello World!</p>
