I'm really motivated OP. Is application still ongoing? If yes, is it free a?
I don’t think it is still free. There is a $300 application fee but log on to their website for confirmation.

Hi Everyone. Hi Laurel

I received your mail with questions regarding to ALX so I decided to answer it here since a lot of people might also be curious.


I wasn't among the people to graduate ALX. I deferred on my 6th month. Also, if you wanna know what I have been doing during those times, you can check my diary, but be rest assured that I have a job now.

As to the reason why I deferred, Well I felt like I wanted to focus on my stack because I really wanted a job.

He also asked regarding the ROOM. I'm currently in a WhatsApp group for my cohort on ALX and all the people who have gotten jobs did it on their own with their own skills. If you want to get a job before or after graduation, then you should be learning your own STACK at your free time.

ALX are partners with a lot of companies but when these companies come seeking for jobs in the ROOM, ALX usually try to pick the best for them. So this means people with working experience before ALX.

So don't try to limit yourself to the curriculum alone because the delusion that it will get you a job will disappoint you. Besides, you don't have enough time to learn everything in the curriculum so try to learn the ones that will help you and copy when necessary.

After graduation, everyone is currently trying to face their own stack to improve their skills and get a Job. I recently learnt ALX have another platform aside the ROOM which is called "Gold fellowship".

If you're able to enter there, there's 80% guarantee of getting a job. But the issue is that they're very strict with requirements and only 1% are accepted.


In conclusion, if you want to get a job and standout, don't limit yourself to ALX curriculum. And don't fill yourself with the delusion that hill get a job after graduation with ALX experience alone. You need to make time to hone your skill either as a frontend, backend, DevOps, Cloud, Database, or Blockchain developer.


I hope you will all understand my point without tagging to argue that "you know someone who graduated and got a job".

Good Morning

Mehn... I have been so busy that I barely have a life these days. Alx virtual assistant program just git tougher! And trying to combine both is giving me headache.

Recently, I moved my alx experience to my LinkedIn, you can check it out, I hope to connect with you all. Below is the link to my LinkedIn profile...

https: //www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-okorie-8ba64b214

You have to close in the spaces to access the link, my schedule has been too tight because of many engagement I have to follow up on. The August cohort group has been functioning so well and the group is almost filled up. They're about 500+ there now. We had a google meeting yesterday to discuss the concept of emacs, vim, shell, and the sandbox. It was a pretty interesting one.

We all agreed to follow one another on LinkedIn, Twitter and engage in each other's post. Since I started posting on LinkedIn, it's been awesome! I can't believe I ignored that app all this while.

Meanwhile, C language has been dealing with me lol but I don't intend to give up! Lately I feel like I have friends around me and it is pretty reassuring.




Hmmmmm!
You sure say no be Kobojunkie b this?
