How did you get your first job?
-
I've been programming since I was in middle school nine years (almost 10) ago. I've known since then that this was the career for me. The only problem is, I can't find my first job. It doesn't help that I'm in a small town with no programming jobs. I want to earn a living programming. How do you get your first programming job?
Well, this whole thing is just who knows who. Then over here you have favoritism.

I got my first job in a Durban, South Africa. I started coding since about age 10 (in basic), went through a couple of languages from QBASIC to VB to Game Maker, and then finally C#. My parents weren't in a position where they could send me to college, so I spent my first few years out of school working low paying retail jobs. When I finally got over it I literally sent out about 90 C.V's all over the country, and got 3 interviews :P All I can say is keep every little app that you make, as it shows what you can do. Its my little app's and games that I made in my spare time that ended up getting me a job. Just show them that you love coding, and when you get your first job, work hard!

I also feel that lack of work opportunities in small towns in a big problem for programmers. I myself had to move miles away for job for years. I even had to stay in Europe for a brief amount of time for job only. And now I found something in my home town but its a very small company and the paycheck looks pathetic. But as for the original question about finding a job. Well I got job in my college campus itself. My college is ranked 35th in India so getting a job was and still is not a problem for me.

I got hired because of a friend who worked at the place, it was at a Black Angus restaurant as a dish washer I was only 14 and when the manager found out I wasn't 16 he made me quit. :-\

i am learning all I can, the information is so intense that I'm not sure where to start. I know one thing I'd like to have the job that Jessica is creating for managing the new (Hotel Booking Application) if I could only find that article again, Id like to take photos of all the hotels around the world that would be a kick ass job ha! ;)
