So.. what your saying is Joshua Fluke is right?..
what about cooking tips, or even cooking series.
Almost everything comes through you is fantastic :)
@@hazimdds Cooking on the server? 😗
I most of the HR persons don't have contact with the technical team. They simply post some crazy job requirements.
Requirement 1: Center a div
lol
first reply
😂😂
Thug 😂
Both the easiest and hardest thing to do, but if you can, you got the job!
I started learning web development watching brad everyday. From india I didn’t even had a computer. My dad cant work now bcoz of health issues. I’m the only one who works and provide my family so i worked hard i was getting $30 a month doing some data entry then i bought a used computer with 2gb ram an old dusty keyboard. Now I can practice html css JavaScript i use mobile data to download vscode bcoz I don’t have internet connection on pc it’s really poor situation but i hope i get better at programming and get a good job.
damn bro this actually really inspiring. you're dedication despite lack of resources is admirable and makes me rethink why I'm not working just as hard and am being lazy. Keep it up man, wish you the best
I feel for you man. If you require any help , feel free to reach out.I will do my best.We are god stars bro.We will win.
Keep grinding, homie. You'll make it before you know it!
it's not the privileged but the determined that'll reach the star👏🏼⭐️
when you feel ready for applyng just be wary , it seems many post jobs are just scam, check the video and the comments, ruclips.net/video/Qba57EgF5GA/видео.html
Job postings be like "5 years of Deno experience required for unpaid internship"
@HM Nothing Else Hello HM, I think there's still a way out. How about you try to get into web programming and see how some personal projects can give you quite some knowledge about these things......Love.
Hahaha
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Terribly crazy...
So true, i saw one few days ago wanting 3 years in Deno
I agree, you'll never be ready in your mind when you want to start applying for jobs. I have been learning web development since 3 years and recently 2 months ago I started applying for jobs, and I received a great offer from the first interview that I gave. And still I kept applying and the experience has been great. I have been able to answer 70-80% questions asked in various interviews that I have attended. So, go for it. Start applying and good luck.
3 years is a really long time, how many hours a day on average would you say you studied?
@@keithmonroe383 on and off. Sometimes due to work I didn't learn but if I had to sum all the times that I did learn dedicatedly, it would be min 1.5 years.
@@ApurvKhare thanks.
what projects to do after learning html,css and js
@@codenchill732 there are plenty. But you can go through Brad's 20 JS project Udemy course.
Job requirement be like: "We need someone who can connect to a SQL database using CSS"
One said either CSS or Ruby. I was like ok.....
😂😂😂
he is thinking about CSS and Databases without any backend and it's called Dart
@@aisivan Ah I see I'll look into it, cheers.
😂😂😂😂
Great advice here, I used a lot of these tactics and steps when applying for my first few developers jobs. BTW Nice Zelda and Super Famicom system showing in the left background.
Hahaha thank you :)
I applied last week for a WordPress front-end dev job, already did 2 tests for them. Waiting for an interview. Wish me luck guys. Y'all can do it !!
What happened with u bro?
For me I learned React for 5 months, then I recently got hired as a mid level React Developer. It took me 2 months though to get a job. Also I had previous work experience as a web developer, just with different technology. You only need to learn 1 language and library / framework, dedicate 3 to 6 months of your life in learning that technology, then start applying. Don't waste too much time.
Did you learn redux??
@@gabrielfono844 yes, it's pretty much a requirement if you want to get a job. Even though you can get away w/ context and useReducer
@@kevinbryanbautista5280 I use context at all the time.
I may need to learn redux
amazing brother!
Great to hear, thanks for the advice and I wish u the best!
I've worked IT as an intern, but after graduation will start looking for a Web developer job in September. This video really helped. Thanks!
Get well soon Brad..❤️
Missing you a lot..❤️❤️😔
ANANTA KUMAR SAHU 😭😭😭
What happened to him? :(
"It took me 10 years before I applied for my very first job"
Those are rookie numbers. I'm currently at 13 years, and have never been paid to write any code... Maybe I should start looking for a job soon lol.
I learnt my basics 5 years ago, I know a few stacks and I have been creating projects for many years now. But still haven't started applying for jobs. Thanks for this video
I believe in you, we can all do it as long as we believe in ourselves
Same here :(
Just do it!
@@mecamon thanks, a friend of mine just asked me to build a website for her pageant I guess I will have a real life project on my portfolio
@@cod-newbie9166 good bro, I hope you do well. I wish you all the luck in your endeavors.
I've already subscribed to his channel before but not been paying attention to his videos, but after watching this video I went back to his channel, and I found some amazing stuffs like creating a Wordpress theme, I watched the video for some few minutes, then I realized this guy is a Wordpress wizard.
I got placed In MNC last month (Accidentally).
Big Thanks to Brad, Traversy Media.
I also love to share my story one day.
Where in india?
@@shazebstark Yes bro.
Parth Chaudhary congratulations man
Can i have your contact ? I don’t have friend who knows about coding or anything it’ll be good to have you as friend?
yeah bruh be my friend as well since i want to be a web developer but looking at the requirements here *sigh* i could use some insight to be honest.
This guy is really amazing... He's like 🔥 the most important is that he seems to know what is talking about... 👍🏽
thank you kindly :)
Let's go get some jobs! Thanks Adrian and Brad!
Yay!
Job listing here in kenya be like we need an experienced intern😂😂
😂😂😂so true
@Que_Rico I don't know about that never been there
In India, they need an IT department
@@m_ousam What do you mean?
hahahaha
I used to be a chef for 10 years, now after 2 years of (semi-obsessive) studying I am a 'Software Applications Engineer' for an Artificial Intelligence company.
Day 1: "Here's your WordPress credentials...are you able to center this picture on the login screen?"... It's like day 50 now and what I realized is about 80% of the job is just being the guy who just does it.
Remember you're doing something most people don't want to even do; people think I'm Neo when I say 'ran a query'.... Just know how the stuff works! Not every mechanic can work on any car, not every doctor can work on every body part, its absurd to think you need to learn every language.
How is it possible that I have never found your channel ?? Great content ! And new fan
This is my favorite RUclips channel
Love you Brad .I converted your story books project into a complete doubt platform.Added comments functionality.Deployed it and now I am teaching and checking submissions using it. You are like the sun☀️ , you dispell the darkness of my life.
this guy deserve more subscriber and recognition ..great job traversy
Thank you :)
Keep in mind that this likely applies mostly for the US and for large companies who are looking to hire several developers. Smaller companies in my country tend to look for one person who can do everything. When I somehow get approved for an interview they ask about everything in the requirements.
Wow, how did you know what I went through?!,
That was very motivating.
Thanks both Adrian and Brad
An eye-opener ❤️❤️❤️ I skipped so many job listings on LinkedIn due to this issue.
The tutorial hell is no joke. I've been practicing for several years but I have never felt I'm ready for job applications. Especially, it will be more difficult if English is not the language you use daily. I have been actively looking for a job in the US on OPT for several months during the pandemic but I unfortunately couldn't find one. Anyway, I'm gonna keep looking til I get one. Thank you, Adrian, Brad and everyone.
Thanks for the encouragement! Doing a lot of self tutorials while attending bootcamp myself in hopes that I get an opportunity when I'm finished.
I wonder how many of this channels viewers are job seekers, Brad has been giving employment to many.
Haha, thanks :) maybe, but people watch that are at all different phases in their lives. This won't apply to everyone. I am a big fan of helping the newbies :)
@@TraversyMedia And you do it well.
Brad is doing a great job to bring out these guys!!
I loved the video, but when you say "to know the fundamentals", What are those fundamentals that you are talking about?
Thank you for making that video.
Wow, this was very much needed, i will be graduating in next 9 months! And i am totally into Full Stack Development , A.I. and Machine Learning.
Thank you Traversy Media for this.
Many wishes from 🇮🇳
And i hope who is reading this comment become successful in their life 😊
Yes thank you. I have the goal of 6 months to complete all of this.. And I am going to work for it.
@@ronyahmed320 Wow, all the best my friend.
May be we can work on a project together on github 😊
What say?
@@akshaypendyala wow, it sounds great. But I am afraid I am just a beginner of programming. And I only heard of github. But never used it before.
@@ronyahmed320 Bro, dont worry take your time, have confidence and if you have any doubt you can always take help of community on youtube.
Even i was confused about github but slowly i got used to it once i started using it, its okay if you dont know, with time you will can learn it easily.
@@akshaypendyala thanks brother..but How can I take the help of the RUclips community... There is no platform for making a help conversation
Job requirements: Must have 3 years experience developing brand new language that was just released 3 months ago.
Ayy this is cool, i like this new dynamics for this channel, best whishes!
Thanks for the encouragement guys! For a junior dev like me, I find this very important as I sometime look pass the junior jobs that require 3+ years of experience and thinking I’d never get a chance
Thanks Brad for having Adrian, great video and amazing advice. I was afraid to apply because I felt I did not know enough to be hired. Instead of getting hired in my early 30's I finally got a job at 39.
Loved this talk. Gives me a sense of relief that the imposter syndrome is real, is everywhere and really is in everyone. I am not so keen to apply for jobs but really want to start a freelance web design and development business. I always worked as a backend developer, mostly as a consultant for projects with other developers and never really dived into client work myself so the web design + development work really is a little intimidating especially approaching clients and providing them with the web solutions they are looking for.
This talk really helped me understanding that its really is about putting yourself out there and then worry about the landing. As long as I am confident and proficient with my skillset I will land on my feet. Thank you Adrian and as always really appreciate Brad's talent to scope good such good mentors and making this possible.
I didn't know anything about Adrian,
But I already feel comfortable with him.
I think you made the right decision Brad, Good job!
Great video, I appreciate the insight. Quick question though on 3:10 , what would be considered the fundamentals in 2020?
Nice points, Adrian!
A lot depends on whether you apply to a good organization, where the technical people help write the job requirements or a poor one, where some non-technical HR person pulls a bunch of acronyms off of the web.
In good organizations I've worked in, there's an expression people used to use when hiring -- "The purple squirrel".
It refers to the candidate that, on day 1, meets every single requirement specified in the job specification.
The secret all good hiring managers know is that there is no "purple squirrel"!
They look at your application to figure out if you have basic technical competence, have shown evidence that you have drive, like to learn new things and will be an asset to their organization. (At least for junior positions.)
My point is not to get discouraged if you can't check every box on the form. Apply, get an interview, think about what you can do for them and sell yourself!
Good luck!
My expectation:
- Design & create wordpress sites for small-medium sized business and have my work signed off by lead dev.
Reality:
- Helping support existing clients by answering support tickets. Could involve writing basic documentation on how to use a CMS feature/plugin, helping with common server issues or writing a small bit of custom code to implement a new feature. On occasion I'll produce a landing page or email to help with marketing, but beyond that Junior Web Dev is mostly about lightening the responsibility for the lead developer so they can work on bigger projects.
Of-course every agency is differen't and the smaller you get the more responsibility you'd expect to take on (Unless they use page builders). When looking into a job listing, I would look further into the company as-well to help you prepare for the interview.
Just apply to everything and find out if it's for you when you get an interview.
Here's my story, I learn both front and back end during covid 19 lockdown(familiar with front end years ago) now all the web developer jobs require PHP and WordPress on backend where as I learnt node js 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I'm fed up.
It is so true what you are saying about the fundamentals. Know your fundamentals then move from there. Thank You
In india , Situation is different . Here , Companies need experience also for internships. And Student have to pay them for internship, So that they may get internship certificate. And worst is , students do that.
I hope this will change sooner but it is so difficult here.
Great video mate!!!!Hope to see more of your videos
Wow. This helped me decide to kick post grad depression and start applying.
Excellent advice, I really think this is something that so many developers need to hear. Only thing I'd add is the importance of making a portfolio where you can explain your thought processes on each project during the interview, otherwise agreed definitely apply sooner rather than later!
Good to see you here Adrian.
Following your wordpress tutorial right now. It's awesome.
thanks for support and sharing your experience, i passed many online coerces an still feel i need to learn more and not ready to apply to any job off line or freelancer, your vid encourage me to start...
Hi thank you. Your video has shed some light tomy doubt. I have not been applying for job for same reason you have given. It's makes me feel very incompetent to see the job requirements that are being listed. Thank you for boosting my self esteem.
I hear ya, I'm from Australia too and I should of applied a few years earlier than I did. Push came to shove while working as a tech support specialist. Even work mates were saying I was better than a junior. I recommend people just go for it and worst case is it was a learning experience. Shout out to Brad!
I learnt a lot brad, and thanks to him I now have answers to my questions. Brad, special request, if you also get a chance get someone to do chart.js, babylon.js if possible and things like more back end please. Though thanks again
This literally gave me hope ❤
Congrats Adrian, I am also following your channel!
Good luck with your new role 😊🙏
And thanks mate for the insights on applying for junior positions!
Very true all he says. I did the other way around.. took a full time senior dev to engineer a system from scratch, Started with my basics on assenbler, vb6 and sql server and ended up being a full stack doing everything possible in android, iOS, JAVAEE, SPRING BOOT, anything .NET, Mongo, anything SQL, react, angular, NODEJS and so on.. so don't get discouraged by those reqs, just apply and take the test.. whats the worst that can happen? and the good?
Great video! I went the same path, only it was 4 years not 10, but all that he said is so true. Job applications is written by hr specialists, they include 3 times more technologies than it's actually required to do the job.
Jobs are also posted with titles that are a little misleading. I have seen to many times where Senior Software Engineer or Senior Front End/Full Stack/Back End Developer is the title and I would speak with the recruiter and the description is not what I expected to out of a senior anything. Just give it a shot and believe in yourself that the hard work that you have put in is enough, because it is!
Love video topics like this! Very helpful for persons like myself who are just getting ready to apply for Web Dev jobs! Thank you and keep the awesome content coming!
I have learned that one of the biggest requirement is to understand your data structures and algorithms very well and the ability to solve problems using code.
Just depends on the job. For your typical front end dev you don't need either of those things.
Interview for my first job tomorrow. Just what I needed today, thank you!
Looks good so far, going to continue to the next level Interview. Thank you Brad, I learned A LOT from your channel and udemy courses.
Great points. I have lived in that do-loop of trying to keep learning code. For 10 years and never have applied to a coding job. Same reasons. Which is why I ditched a lot of that and just fell back on Networking.
GREAT video Adrian, you saved me a lot of time to apply for a job. It's nice to see you here.
Mind blowing video that deals with many obstacles in the hiring process! Thank you @TraversyMedia
love these brad look after your health people like adrian provides alot of value
Thanks for everything both of you
This is channel is another version of freecodecamp organization great initiative 👏
*This is definitely a very informative video. Thanks Adrian for the tips and Brad for publishing video on your channel*
I'm out of work due to the pandemic so I'm all in on being a web dev. It's now or nothing, but i'm still not quite there yet, I'm halfway through "The Odin Project" javascript curriculum and it has been very rewarding. I promise when I finish this curriculum I will start applying for jobs.
This video is so soothing and supportive. I'm glad that I found this video.
I like the ones where they say it's a front-end web developer job with the typical requirements but then also 7+ years experience in software development, cloud computing, ux, and product development are the other requirements
Adrian is spitting out straight facts, life is too short to be coding day in and day out and not applying for that first dev job.
I'm really wanted him to see in traversy media! All the best for him!
Thanks for this awesome video Adrian Twarog... I am at the same boat as you were at first... After watching this video it gave me courage to apply for a job..
Thanks once again. ❤❤❤❤
I know the basics of html, css and javascript and I know how they works but I'm afraid to apply because of the job requirements they are looking for. Thanks for this video.
That moment when you realize that you have always been a follower of both🇦🇴😌.
This video is blessing for me
I completed my graduation last year and was going the same tutorials loop route not applying for job doubting my knowledge
Now I'm gonna try my best to get into practicals asap Ty once again for opening my eye !
Adrian's won a new subscriber in me, lovely presentation.
I always tell newbies to build your fundamentals before jumping to frameworks and libraries, but they always feel FOMO. Loved to see Roos in Brady 😄
Great advice!
Thanks.
Thank you
Yeesh! Adrian, Great video and great tips! As a mentor for interns, I dare to say that you can never prepare too much, so better just get on the train asap and learn on the go.
Man this is really helpful
After passing the Apache Spark interview there was a guy from San Francisco who asked me if I knew and could help with HTML-CSS also. I think in that case he was looking for an excuse :D Happy that I didn't end up there. Don't worry about the requirement lists. Worry about the team. What kind of people they are...
Omg!! Just in time. I needed this video. Thanks brad! 👌🏻
Excellent Advice Adrian !!
Wow... very surprised, it's blew my mind. I never know the exact purpose behind those requirements before. Thanks dude...
This is really boost my confident to find a job. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the awesome advice. Please bring PHP developer as well. Thanks!
Thank you for the reassurance and confidence you have and grant by just speaking!
Very encouraging. Thanx!
Thats it! I'm going to take on my big boy pants and apply for my first dev job! Thanks for the boost, I needed it!
Thanks for the video. I really need to hear this so I am brave enough to start applying for my first developer job.
I've never had a job in the industry but I have been self-employed making apps for over 10 years now. Given the niche I work in, I qualify for zero, literally zero of all jobs being posted in 2020. I know from many years of experience that learning new frameworks, languages etc... is trivial and is something we do on a need-to-do basis. In a sane economy companies would be willing to give new hires a 2-3 week window to learn the tools and trim down the job requirements as they're posted.
Get a job in a warehouse. There are plenty of jobs in planning or scheduling for someone who is bright and willing to work with those on the production line. From there you will see people using all sorts of desktop and browser based applications . There will be a lot of gaps in functionality of those applications. That is where a junior dev can make a difference. Not working for the IT department. But for the production staff in the actual warehouse. Often the IT department ignores the needs of production.
This guy is very expressive
Great video! Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!
Very helpful video for me actually...because i am also doing same mistake of learning all those technologies that i see on job requirements.
Thank you so much sir for this video
My story is same as you *Adrian*, I know php, java, javascript, databases (SQL,Mongo), bit of designing. I wanna be full stack developer but i lose motivation of applying when looking at job advertisements. But i still applied at many but none of them gave response. I learnt laravel, django, MVC design pattern. I can solve real world problem and algorithms easily. So I stopped applying for now, and started working on my personal projects.
My point is that you don't need much only fundamentals you just need some who is in tech company who can settle you for your first job after that I'll become easy. Or you just need mentor who can guide you.
Awesome 😊 this 7 mint video clip really motivated me to not feel fear whenever there is a job.
Love Brad and his videos. Florin Pop highly recommended it. I have learned so much. Thank you.
Just curious, what are some topics Adrian has in mind when he says “Fundamentals”? Does he mean Data Structures and Algorithms?
I think the basics of html, css and js is enough, especially when starting out, without knowing the inner depths of data structures and all that which isn't always as useful on the job when starting out
Adrian Twarog thanks for your response. Great video! I’m also checking out your channel.
Thank you so much for this video because I was going through the same problems! 😁👍
Needed it thanks for this video
we miss you Brad
