Create your portfolio

Creating your portfolio can be impressive. Your portfolio is the reflection of your skills and it is the very first thing potential employers will look at. Once you built your own site, it’s time to load it up with all the work you’ve done for companies or clients. If you’ve only been coding for months, check out Google to find out what you can do to create a portfolio that will get you hired. Make sure you highlight your core skills, play up any tech-related experience, and give specific details to prove your achievements and strengths.

Make unpaid projects pay off

Freelancing projects offer a great way to add some weight to your portfolio. It’ll not only give you the chance to build your experience but also reinforce your bank balance to some extent. You can also offer to create HTML newsletter, navigation of already existing website, etc. They’ll be a great addition to your portfolio and will boost your job search and your career.

Participate in competitions

Nowadays, you can turn around by bumping into the interesting events. They’re fun and exciting way to know people with the same interests, tackle interesting problems, test your coding skills, learn from others, and maybe win prizes. This makes you a lot more appealing to hiring managers at web development consultancies. Keep your eye out at the event for sponsors and recruiters. Web developers may be noticed and offered a job right on the spot!

Keep yourself updated

Besides keeping up on the news, you should also keep up with learning new skills and tools of the trade. As a web developer, knowing these will keep you updated with what is more in-demand.
