"(Junior) Developpers are getting screwed." - typecraft
I've been laid off by my company several months ago and there seems to be no room for junior devs to get work experience. Some recruiters phone calls here and there but once we get to showing my resume and portfolio to clients, they all systematically turn me down.
It's worrying honestly. I even tried charity work on Datakind but their project dashboard has been empty for months.
I'm not even making it to the interview portion. I got my bachelor's in December 2023.
I've had a total of 2 telephone interviews.
@MaleGoddess @Wopu pro tip - if you are applying to a job where there are more than dozen of candidates, find a niche to limit competition. this is why i never had issues with finding work. i used to do Drupal-based projects so i had big advantage. smaller job/gig market but higher pay and low competition. i cannot imagine doing some mass tech like js frontend, php symfony and whatnot. i always did personal projects so i had the knowledge but one has to be smart about work.
