I have just finished building some solo projects for my portfolio and I am now ready to prepare for studying and practicing for job interviews. I was wondering about ways to accomplish those things with a hectic schedule, especially since I became a new parent and only have about 2 to 3 hours each day to do some coding and frontend related stuff. Any advice and resources given will be gladly appreciated
Check Freelance websites like Upwork that provide projects you can build in exchange for money. After all, these are the projects real Companies are looking for! I don’t use Discord but I’d recommend having a look at some coding Groups that’d help giving you something to train on and give their time and attention to give you feedback. Or if you have a relative or friend who works in tech, they can help you too!
Getting freelance gigs tends to be a very different skillset than interviewing for full-time positions, so I recommend figuring out which one you’d rather focus your energy on.
In addition to the freeCodeCamp interview prep content, you can find a lot of examples of what company interview processes are like. Sometimes, you can even get details about the real interviews for specific companies. This sort of material can give you a general idea of how skills are assessed in technical interviews. When you’re applying for jobs, if you are selected for a technical interview, you can always ask what to expect. The recruiter might tell you to prepare specific material, what topics to brush up on, or just give you a general idea of the format. It depends.
