I’m currently a caretaker for an elderly relative and I work part time on the side. I’ve been teaching myself how to design and code websites for the past month now. I’m nowhere near good enough to start applying for positions yet but I’m interested in eventually getting a jr. front end or software developer position once I’ve finished the projects I have setup for myself and updated my portfolio. I also have a degree in an unrelated field and experience in that field however it’s not a field I’m interested in. My goal is to learn as much as I can with code so I can get good enough to actually be considered for the positions I want.
What are some ways I can make myself a valuable candidate for a junior developer role? What really makes someone stand out for said roles and is it even feasible to make such a drastic career change in the current state of our employment market?
