    Well, I think one way a Fresher could get some good advice would be to take the time to read the rules of the Forum they were posting in, and then post this message in an appropriate forum, like this one: [^].

    «I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

    To be fair, it's not obvious that you would find that forum as a sub-entry of "Application Lifecycle".

      Hi, I am new here(in The Lounge).. so, My question is:- How a Fresher(Me) get a Software development job? Qualification is BSC-IT(2012)and currently working at Software Engineering Institute as a Junior Faculty about 2 Years. My hobby is become a Software Developer. I already developed some freelance software in C# .NET, and I think I have a knowledge in C#.NET(mostly I like to code in C# all day).. So you think why I waste my 2 years in Junior Faculty? when I passed BSC-IT exam, I thought to do MCA and I joined the MCA distance education, after that some problems raised with the university. Now it's delaying the MCA. and meantime I also tried to find jobs on Software Developing but couldn't find or not match with my profile.. Is it must to get the degree and work experience to get the job? Is it doesn't matter how much you know or what you love to do?? Sorry for My English Language(its messy).. I Want some Suggestion...

      Don't watch the clock; Do what it does. Keep going.....

      Step 0: Make sure you're a software development fresher. Step 1: I never made it as far as binary, so I have to stop there.

      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

        Is the job market "fair;" can Fresher expect to sit at home with employers visiting them to offer lucrative jobs ? If Fresher doesn't do their own research, paying attention to details, and produce a good resume, and network with contacts, and make sure the resume gets in the hands of people who might offer them a job, is that "unfair" to him/her ? In my own experience as a programmer (when I worked for "other people") while serendipity did, indeed, bring some fortunate opportunities my way, I worked very hard to put myself "in that way," and keep my eyes on it, and seize the opportunities that "just happened." Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence ("Arete"), then, is not an act, but a habit.”

          Do you have any friends/family that already work as developers who could give you an in? That's by far the fastest way to get started. Apart from that, spend lots of time on reading articles on CodeProject, watching videos on Pluralsight, applying for every job going (not just in IT, better to be employed in any respect than not be employed) and just be relentless in trying to get that first programming job.

            You're right, the job market isn't fair. But I think a Fresher should be granted to still having to learn how to deal with that.

              I agree with you in the sense that I think everyone deserves a friendly welcome to CodeProject, and gentle, rather than harsh, feedback to guide them ... if they then, over time, prove they don't give a hamster's ass about this community and its guidelines, well ... even then, while refusing to tolerate their behavior, there's no need to make fun of, or attack their character. cheers, Bill
