Hello guys, from the posts dates, i guess its been a while since you guys where having discussions regarding finding a developer job abroad without a CS degree, but i would still like to share my small experience concerning the issue, cause for while now it has been one of the things i think about allot. I am web developer with 1.5 years experience in web development, and recently i started applying for web developer jobs, and dew to the lack of web developer jobs in my country Cameroon, i had to apply for jobs abroad, and though i have a portfolio website and a github account with some few projects, i still find it so difficult getting call ups for interviews after i apply for jobs and some of the hiring offices are kind enough to tell me my skills are not bad or my skills are good enough for the position, but are also sorry they can't continue dew to my background or me not meeting other criteria. I am sure some of you guys here must have gone through such, please what do you advice me to do, cause for me i have been trying to build my skills to the level i can impress an employer enough for him to want to get me visa sponsorship, but i will still like to get your taught.
