How I landed 2 part-time dev jobs

[ver2point0]

/* 
If you don't want to read my 15 points, 
here are some insights I learned along the way.

It takes times. 
Review my timeline.
Face-to-face networking is super-effective, at least, in my case.
I love education. 
I would not be here without it.
I have not completed the FCC front-end certificate. 
I will eventually finish it.
I have not completed FEND.
I most likely won't complete it.

As I am writing this, I am physically and mentally exhausted.
I'll come back in 12-48 hours and answer questions.

Don't give up. I didn't.

Thanks FCC - I got my first job as a front-end developer!

Edit: Thank you all for the congratulations and encouraging responses! I went on vacation for a week and was totally overwhelmed by all the emails and PMs that resulted from this post when I returned. There are a lot of questions to see my resume/cover letter; I am by no means an expert but I’ll try to address those questions in a separate post very soon. Thank you all again and I’ll keep you updated on the new job! So it’s official. Starting October 16th, I will be an official, salaried front-…

I got a job as a remote fullstack developer!

After finishing FCC beta i decided to make a portfolio website (you can view the old version here) and continue my education with open source society, which i was already doing but paused in Febru…

Awesome! Congratulations on your roles. And congratulations on winning the scholarship. It sounds like you’ve been patiently building your skills over the past few years.

You’ve used a lot of different resources. If you have time, you should review some of them over in https://forum.freecodecamp.org/c/reviews - I a lot of us would benefit from knowing the strengths and weaknesses of these various programs and resources.

Thank you, @QuincyLarson!

I’ll set aside some time to do some reviews.

I clicked on the link and it said that the page does not exist.

I was just about to ask about that. I think he meant to link: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/c/reviews … he did say reviews haha, seems like a typo.
