Trying to get a job in software developer. Advice please .

[Toimur H]

@Michal__ I am considering using subliminals to see if they really works. But i have some questions regarding this thing.

Do we have to use those subliminals while we sleep or while being awake?

Do we have to use one set of affirmations over and over to get the maximum result?

How long have you been using those & will you please share your improvements?

@Javfly33 What size companies are you applying to?

I applied for my first job (no experience, no degree, no portfolio) at a small, sort of old-fashioned company that could not afford to hire experienced devs. There I got the experience to be able to move on after 1-2 years. 

Perhaps you can try that.

@Javfly33 Ramit Sethi's Get Your Dream Job course is awesome for this. I've been through the training program. 

With it, you can become the top 1% of all candidates in terms of interviewing skills alone. The quality is comparable to Leo's LP course. It's like you hired a team of researchers who went through several interviews, collected several data points, created insights and approaches, and field-tested those to find some of the best approaches.

If you live in the US(?) ranking high on CodeChef and SPOJ will definitely help and there are training practices to get you there with certainty. If you would like you can PM me and I can share some of the best training programs and resources for that based on your country and the companies you are targeting.

Hope it helps.

To become a successful developer and find a good job, you need to make a high-quality portfolio of your work, and then on any job search site you will be hired for any job

Junior roles usually do not require a portfolio, if they like your resume they usually send you an entry task which you have to do. For me it was an online CV generator which collects user input and outputs a .pdf document with your picture, personal data, education, work exp etc.
