Hi,
This month my objective is to attend conferences and meet ups related to web development.
My question is how can I use these opportunities to network so that I can get a job as a junior front end developper?
Currently, I do not have work experience, nor do I have an academic degree in the field of Computer Science. I have a portfolio website with a few projects on it and a linkedIn page.
Thanks!
One piece of advice I have heard several times is not to treat the meet up as an opportunity to talk solely about yourself. If you find someone that happens to work at a place youâd love to work, rather than swerving the conversation to âget me a job there as soon as possibleâ, ask them what itâs like to work there, what projects they find interesting, what technologies they use, and show a real interest in them and the work.
Itâs kinda conversation 101, but lots of people are bad at conversation. If you are the one that allows people to talk about what they love, you will be remembered fondly, and that canât be a bad networking strategy.
By all means, if they ask you about projects youâve enjoyed working on, be sure to sell yourself as a passionate problem solver etcâŚbut donât just go around shaking hands with every one saying what a great guy you are and that they should hire you 
Honestly, just talk to people. Learn from others. Ask questions. Answer questions that someone else asks if you can. Networking just means getting to know people. Donât treat meetups like job fairs, but more like club meetings.
Relax and try to have some fun.
Thanks for your answers. Iâm going to a meetup this evening. So Iâll just relax and be myself!
Have fun - once you catch the meet up bug, itâs quite addictive!
whats the meet up bug all about please
Sorry, itâs an English idiom / slang phrase.
âTo catch the bugâ of something means that youâve been exposed to something that you end up really enjoying.
It comes from the idea of catching a cold / flu (bug is slang for germs) â now that I think about it, the idiom falls down a bit, since have a cold or flu is not nearly as fun as going to a coding Meetup!
When a bunch of coders are trying to debug one of the memberâs program and theyâre all congregating around the laptop, their faces aglow, like insects flying around a light bulb. 
ohh thanks bruv you guys are really great here:raised_hand:
