The reason why you'll never be ready for your first programming job is that you're not really supposed to be.

I get asked a ton: "When will I be ready for my first job?" Hopefully, this video sheds some light on the answer. Use my link bit.ly/3qTxGnh and check out the first chapter of any DataCamp course for FREE!"

Self-taught here as well, and just like you said, you just got to take a chance and put yourself out there. Great video 👍🏿

Thank you so much for this video! This is actually really helpful! I've been studying non-stop these past couple of months and realized the hardest thing is keeping myself from self-doubting every now and then. I'll try to be more open-minded and maybe start applying soon. Good luck with your interviews!

I literally just jumped into a job with only HTML and CSS four years ago... Guess everyone has their own path
@pophuman-beingsounds-royal8297 2 years ago

Wow loved it, thanks for the tips. Right now I am walking that path and I would like to know what possibilities you see for someone with a native Spanish language, who knows English at an intermediate level, who is learning to program in English on their own and who wants to go to work in an English-speaking country?

As someone who is 35 and going to college for the first time, I can say there is college-level information available for free everywhere. Some of these how-to-code videos are on the same level as my college classes. LinkedIn, EdX, and Coursera all have validated training for fairly cheap. However, you are correct that nothing is really more valuable than a portfolio.
