There isn’t a better time for workers who have a job in tech. There isn’t a worse time for people getting into the field.
Honestly, I can’t see myself winning the lotto and getting a job as a web developer a few months to a year, so I want to strengthen my skill set.
First thing I want to do is strengthen the projects I’ve worked on. Complete 12 projects this year. Nothing to fancy just something to work on my skills and deploy them in some way.
Second I want to be study some CS books. I was hoping to find something after graduating and have a mentor. Someone who could point me to helpful a resource and be like, “You should learn more about CI/CD, check this book out.” Yeah the internet is a thing, and there’s tons of reddit post asking about books about a particular topic, but there’s way to much information out there and it gets overwhelming. I’m just going to have to pray it helps what I’m working on when I buy them.
Until then find a job that can pay the bills and hopefully doesn’t drain me to the point where I can’t keep working on projects.
Are there any tips or resources a graduate who couldn’t find a job after a year should do?
