Karleb:He could at least start and see where he will get to before writing it off, i don't support him giving up on the task. You can't learn if you keep drop task. This a very competitive environment if yoy can stand out whats the reason of going into tech. |

Supreme145:Oyinbo says "Opportunity meets preparation". In your case, you are busy applying for jobs looking for opportunity and forgetting that without preparation, success isn't guaranteed. Just let it slide, more opportunities will come in the future but NOW it's time to develop yourself. It's time for PREPARATION. Don't let the next opportunity meets you unprepare 1 Like |

BigDawsNet: OP please this is a real legit advise, please get internships first, it will help. Supreme145 PeaceJoyLove:Now this is a legit advise, infact what OP should be focusing on now is internships whether paid or unpaid. Like me for example, I just started being active into CyberSec, though little knowledge of past, but instead to be aiming high, I am starting low. I am connecting with top guru in the industry, tapping real world knowledge from there. It hasn't been easy though, but we just dey grind join. OP my most sincerest advise to you: 1. Get internships, no CAP. 2. Starting building professional networks, even if you are a gig worker, don't underestimate the power of refferals. 3. As someone said before, if you can contribute to opensource. 4. Take care of you health (especially mental health). Wishing you all the best. More wins to you. Supreme145:I hope your portfolio, CV are ready sir? Check out this opening (internship) https://jiokcareers.com/job/frontend-developer-internship/?utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply&utm_source=google_jobs_apply&utm_medium=organic Official website of the company. https://whipafrica.com/ Wishing you the best boss. bb6xt:Please can you give me skills endorsement? I want to expand my moves. |

Supreme145:It is not easy to get a job. From the responses you have gotten so far, you know what to expect. Entry jobs arent without experience on linkedin. In fact middle experience is like 3 years experience on the job. So entry is someone who is grounded. You may want to consider going for internship. Some are without pay while some are with. With this, you can gain experience. Actually getting jobs take time. You need a lot of experience. I laugh the way those guys pit it as if it's easy to just learn web development and get job. Lol. It is not that easy. The competition is really high there. From my investigation, some of those guys srent working but pretending they have online jobs. Lols. I am.happy you brought this out here. Imagine competing with Indians and middle east guys in web development. Lol. In fact, Europe and Middle East are where the opportunities can come from cos to get from Asia is slim. Lol. Well, reflect on everything. You may have to get an intern job ....even with intern, you need experience to get it. Web development is highly competitive. This is the truth which they wont tell you, but it is doable. It is achievable. You just have to study hard and get experience anyhow to make more money |

Guy, I honestly think you could get someone to do the job for you and all that but then, it's not advisable. Moreover, that 48hrs deadline is unrealistic. Those three APIs request methods (GET, POST and DELETE) in that question will take your time, we have not even talked about the DB set up and that shii o. It took me months to learn REST framework properly and someone wants you to all these in 48hrs? Really? Issokay. MOSH YouTube channel has some beautiful tutorials on all these things though. You can check it out if interested. |

kponkedenge: Well then, if you're looking to be a web developer then you're not only going to have to like PHP, you're going to have to love it. |

OP we can collaborate on stuff like this, I'm working on the backend of an e-commerce site and I'm also an experienced beginner. I already worked on a project with database for movies and am fairly fluent with APIs. |

Alusiizizi: No bro, I still wouldn't learn it. I'm quite versed in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, I'm even starting to get bored with webdev cos it's too common. What I wanna really perfect my skills on is App Development, cos I haven't started practically on that, still watching YouTube videos on mockplus cloud and doing the basics. PHP has always been a no no for me. Lol |
Re: Should I Take This Job?(photo) by Nobody: 12:16pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Except if you have another job already in the bag, I will advise you hold on to this, especially since you can still request an extension of the deadline. Quickly utilize that option and source for inputs from those already on the field, even if it means paying. You would have spared us the jargons tho |
Re: Should I Take This Job?(photo) by Nobody: 12:18pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
Tell him you can't handle it in the time frame given as your expertise is not quite up to that yet. But as someone willing to learn you will explore more learning resources. Hopefully, in the near future, he can still consider you. But work on the task given and understand how to make it work. You can even just do a dummy project based of the tasks and add to your portfolio. |
Re: Should I Take This Job?(photo) by Alusiizizi(m): 12:26pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
kponkedenge: Really can't see why this would be so. PHP framework is typical of most programming languages. My guess is that learning programming itself is the issue here, in which case you would need to work on that if you want any piece of the global action out there. You simply cannot get anywhere if you can't program in this enterprise, of course I could be completely wrong in this assumption. |
Re: Should I Take This Job?(photo) by Alusiizizi(m): 12:28pm On Dec 12, 2021 |
kponkedenge: And for your progress, you really should learn programming if possible, the financial rewards are almost limitless. |

Supreme145:That's the way sir. See, they will drill you. Even some tests will be too advanced. These are things you must keep in mind and tackle. I dont think I have even seen any front end job alone these days. So, I keep wondering why someone here promotes knowing only front end. It's when you start applying for jobs you will see that they want full stack. And to even get full stack without experience is hard. So, you just need to start somewhere. The issue is that those Asians even have practical experience from their high schools. There are many ways they get experiences that keep them going. But here, it is real hustling. Many people come online to make claims there are jobs. Yes, there are...but if is not for the cheap guys. Or for limited knowledge. You just dont Leeson front end like they claim and yoy land a job. Its hard. If they are sincere, they shoukdntell you that they are also hustling. Many of them dont have job. Some even got jobs on probation and lost it. Lol. See, those yahop top boys research more than people looking for legit businesses. Some of then can crack blockchain from A to Z. They are hackers. But see, they see results in what they do...and that's why they dont give up. And they make money. It motivates them to keep going. But for us who are trying to be legit, we easily get tired. Those yahoo boys were lone rangers too some years back. Imagine studying blockchain like 4 to 5 years ago. Wont ppl laugh at you? It's the same with learning Artificial intelligence and data sceince now in Nigeria. They will even discourage you that hunger will kill you. Let's learn from those yahoo boys. Binance doesnt joke with Nigerians. Those boys invested their time in crypto in those days. They endured it till they cracked it and are now experts. We must learn the same from them by having the same spirit. We must not give up. We must push ahead till we overcome the hurdle. But we dong want to endure it. All we want is fast money now. I smile at times. Sir, you may need to get into back end also before you land a job. This is the honest trust. One way you can easily get job is diving into marketing. It is a broad topic. Not saying you should lose focus of what you are doing, but at this stage, you just need a job to keep going. If you are gifted in writing, dive into content marketing and SEO also. With your front end skill, you have an edge. There are many ways to get the job done. But believe me, if you want to get job in web development....just be ready to crack it well. Except if one of these boys has a link for you to apply for only front end. But I doubt they will want to assit you with if such truly exists. They wont share with you. Goodluck sir. 2 Likes 1 Share |
