🧑💻 Getting hired as a developer in today’s market… what do you have to do?
I saw a post about: “zero Junior Android Developer job ads” for the past few months in the UK 😬 and I noticed this in Romania too.
When I was hiring developers, a couple of years ago, the challenging part for a candidate was to show their technical skills (and soft skills for some roles).
Now, the big challenge I see is: getting noticed 🙋 especially as a junior / beginner dev.
There’s this classic advice to “build projects” and “keep trying”, but usually it doesn’t come from the people who are actually hiring, or who recently got a job 😅
On the other hand, the few existing job openings still ask for the classic “5+ years of experience”. Btw, I was never a fan of these year-based requirements.
I still think it’s good advice, putting yourself and your work out there, going to meetups and events, I’m just not sure if it’s enough, or what are some other strategies.
What do you think? 💬 Comment below
... and if you’re hiring or you got a new job recently, care to share how you picked among candidates / what worked for you?
