How to gain some experience as a beginner

Career (You Can Do This!)
1

I’m a career changer, so an internship is probably not an option for me. I have built a few projects on my own, but I still want some enterprise experience to include on my resume and LinkedIn. How can I achieve that?
Thank you!

  • can you share your github profile where you’ve uploaded projects built ?
  • This is what has helped me in getting job
  • built projects of various complexities from Frontend Mentor website
  • built couple of big projects from my own hobbies

Later approached ; Y Combinator founders with my GitHub profile to show my commitment and quality of work

I am sure it will help you as well, all the very best

My github: Your Repositories

Although there aren’t many projects in it, since I am a beginner to web dev. I’ve also looked into Y Combinator before as you have told me. But they only hire people with legal work permit in USA, so, I don’t meet the requirement.

What are your goals at this point? Are you trying to find a job right now, or are you trying to build skills and experience that will make you qualified for a job later?

If you’re trying to build experience working on a larger project with other people, then starting to contribute to an open source project. I recommend starting by contributing to something that you use often and know well from a technical perspective - such as a library you’ve used in your own projects.

I absolutely loathe the idea of promoting one of my own topics, but I received such good replies and advice from the community when I asked a similar question that I think I have justification. I think you will find it helpful.

Do try not to post anything on this old topic, as reviving old topics isn’t really a thing on this forum :)

All the best to you, @filics,

Nicolas

Personally, im still learning too, however ive been taught that freelancing is key, because you work on projects that 1- Are projects people actually need, and 2- You also get paid for it, freelance projects make you stand out from the crowd.
