👋🏼 Introduction
I have been actively mentoring developers, both new and experienced, for just over half a year. One of the main concerns...

Thank you, James.
This was exactly the article I needed to read today. I can't say how many times I go back-and-forth with feeling READY and TOGETHER, and feeling like my portfolio sucks too much to continue.. ✌️
A porfolio never sucks. What sucks is not being aware that It sucks! If you know that, you have in front of you a road map to improve. Just don't give Up 💪!
You're very welcome 😀
It's such a common thing though, don't let it hold you back from going out and achieving what you want to.
Lots of great content here! I think a lot of this advice boils down to "show that you care"... and that will get you really far. Of course, you have to actually know your stuff as well - but just showing that you've put some time and effort into the process goes a really long way (and will help you get the interview at least!)
This is super helpful, thank you for the share.
Yeah definitely 🙂 in some way showing that you have an actual interest in the role and company is always a good bet.
Thanks for sharing all of these insights James ☀️
Always welcome Micah 🙏🏻
I'm curious what others do if they have outdated portfolio, like me.
I working since 2003, but many of the projects I worked on was replaced after 2-3 years or not exists anymore. Near It, I worked multiple time just to refactor or revamp fully or partially backends or modules what is not so visible.
And to make it more fun, multiple time my contract did not agreed on to talk to 3rd party about nor use the work in my portfolio.
i like the part about portfolio - its never ready
It’s true!! 😂
