It has already been a month since I started my first job, during this time couple of people have reached me and asked, “How to find a job”?.

Fantastic news is, I even guested on a podcast. I was so excited I am not sure I will listen to it. I will share it with you when it's published.(fingers not crossed).

I’ve done so many things since I started seeking a job. I would like to say from the beginning, that you will not care about anyone who says, ‘It’s easy, of course, you will find it one day. Oh, yes this is the problem, When is one day?

We are working, struggling, wondering to reach that day.

1: Portfolio

I don’t have a great portfolio, I have seen way better than mine. But the key is , after all, I have a portfolio and I can show people(companies and recruiters) what I do and I had created my portfolio just after I have learned JS.

I didnt think too much about my portfolio I know It is the way you can show people what you have done and who you are. I don't want to be a perfectionist I want to have something that I can share my skills.

If you want a perfect portfolio I can share a couple of great work with you:

Jacks’ portfolio is exhaustively informative. His portfolio has a blog page containing tech articles.

Bruno’s portfolio is perfect for aesthetics and the best way to show people your 3D skills.

You want to see more portfolios? Here is the hashnode link for all.

2: Github

Even If you write one line code, please use Github. This is one mistake I did when I was learning to code. I always thought that I could learn later I don't have anything to publish yet!

Github is your Instagram, this is your story archive!

At least, after 6 months you will see what you achieved and what was your mistake. You will see your progress. If I had my first Hello World would be great to feel entry entry entry-level me.

3 : Job Search

The next part is heartbreaking. Please note: You will need encouragement. You will get hurt and want to quit. You will need to keep people around you who encourage you, see your progress and care about it, and most importantly, you will need to have self-confidence.

I cry I quit, I didn't want to open my laptop, didn't want to see people coding.
I am thinking to write a blog for job searching deeply. But here is the websites you can create an account and seek a job.
( Depends on your country of course )
