TheManOfTheYear:
What I did was, I listed those two internships I did in 2020 on my resume. I listed them as though they were full time roles. Under each role, I gave about 3 bullet points of the 'milestones' I did while on the job.

A bit of an exaggeration I must confess but still related to what I did. Stated the technologies I used. For instance; "I worked on different websites and helped add chat functionalities to them, using react and Chatwoot" etc

Now I have two previous roles. They are experiences. Whether college internship, or gig or whatever, they are all experiences. List am.

Afterward, I added my technical writing experiences I had with about 3 blog sites (which were startups too).

That gig were I had to build something and write an article on it using their SDK, I listed it and documented it well in 3 bullet points.
You just have to sell yourself well.

Please don't lie on your resume o, I simply mean you should sell yourself well with the little experiences you've gathered. Whether it's an internship or a gig or whatever. You get d point abi?

Somewhere in your resume, you could write a short intro of yourself in one simple paragraph. I was like "I have 2 years experience learning web development, interning and working with various startups" bla bla

I have a portfolio website, but no one has ever explicitly asked me for it. Details on my job search experiences henceforth.

. What if you don't have any internship experience of any kind

TheManOfTheYear:
I'd talk about the Nigerian start-up later.
But this European startup is where I really want to be honest. The job perks included
- training the junior developer
- assigning a mentor throughout your time with the company
- a chance to grow into a mid-level developer and even senior. Depending on how long you stay
- a laptop upgrade

What more can I ask for?

But the recruitment process was a two step one. First, they gave me a take-home test (which I'm still on now). The test was given alongside the UI design for it.
Omo. It tests every nook and cranny of your react skills.
From redux to Apollo to fetch data from their endpoint.
I am not allowed to use any library or any framework.
Just pure CSS, and React.

Even hooks because they stated it's must be Class Components

Meaning I had to put myself through a brief learning curve, to learn about class components and even classes in JS.

They said the test has NO deadline, but deep down I gave myself one month to finish it.
All these oyinbo people, they go say no deadline but be careful. It doesn't mean you shouldn't time yourself

Hello, can I get a sample of the CV you wrote pls

Talph:
I have read through the the entire thread, must commend the OP for a good job, you're pretty engaging with your writing skill, I wouldn't be surprised to know your coding skill is as equally impeccable.

To those just starting out to code and are stuck on JavaScript, you don't know JavaScript until you feel like you're a dumb Idi*t or she'd tears at how nuts the language is driving you. You should be rest assured though that one day, you'd wake up and everything would begin to make sense (this is how it happened to).

Don't rush the understanding of JavaScript, let it come to you, no amount of time you set out to learn JavaScript will ever be enough, trust me. I have been writing and learning for 4 years and I can tell you, I still Google basics things. Furthermore, I just picked up React 3 weeks ago and it feels like a home run learning that library mainly due to my well grounded knowledge of JavaScript, don't rush these skills, learn them with utmost desire to acquiring the knowledge.

Would you recommend I learn React before JS?

TheManOfTheYear:

My interview was great. I'd rate it 8/10.

I was already in the meeting room online about 5 minutes to the start of time. The first question was the usual "tell us about yourself and your background".

I gave a brief narration about my work experience so far, (didn't let them know they were internships), also talked about some of my technical writing experience.

At this stage, I quickly chipped in on some of the open source works I've done. The CTO guy immediately developed keen interest when I mentioned open source.
I've actually been doing some beginner friendly open source contributions on GitHub. Both in code and in technical writing. The guy seemed to love that fact.
I made sure I use that moment to shine.

He asked me to show some of my open source contributions on GitHub, which I did.

Now, after about 30 minutes of chit chats, it was time for some technical rounds.
Unexpectedly, it was my projects on GitHub they decided to use to fire me questions.

They went through the different code on my GitHub and ask me questions. For instance, the guy would enter a file and see a block of code somewhere, he would ask me to explain what the code was doing, why I used that approach rather than another approach (which he would mention).

Omo me wey don forget why I write some code sef
However, I would do my best to explain to the best of my memory and knowledge.

I made sure the interview was as communicative as possible. I expressed myself a lot.

So after one hour, they finally relaxed me.
Now it was time for me to ask them questions. So I decided to ask about their product. What their product really do and what the aim was in the near future.

So yeah, interview process differs, the main thing is to give them a reason to employ you.

But as for DSA, well, that's different lol.
Not all companies use DSA, that must have been a very high paying job role.

They gave me a specific time they'd get back to me, so fingers crossed.

@TheManOfTheYear

How can I contribute to open source on GitHub??

Would you recommend I learn React before JS?

absolutely not. React is based on JavaScript. Even if you're taking a good React course, you'll most likely see a refresher section on JavaScript. Refresher because it is expected that you know JavaScript.

thanks

I will not encourage you learn React before you learn JavaScript. JavaScript is like the prerequisite to React, JS will introduce you to the basics you need to learn before you right React codes.
Best of luck

Tattooboy:

I agree with the above poster. Learn core Javascript first before delving into any Javascript framework/Library. Gives you a better insight into how things work, and you are better able to diagnose problems. Same thing with Spring/Springboot. It's better to have a good understanding of the core Spring framework before delving into SpringBoot.

Please I just started learning Javascript. How do I test the console?

YouTube will give you a perfect and practical example.

Actually, Sololearn (on web / mobile) would help him with JavaScript as there are exercises for each lesson.
Next is W3Schools. Best learning platform with great UI unlike Freecodecamp.
And W3Schools courses are ALWAYS updated. That's the only e-course platform with a standard Bootstrap 5 course even; others stop at 4, for example.

I think he's already learning... He just asked how to view the items logged to the console.

That's the problem - most YouTube tutorials wouldn't explain in detail. With the actual text courses, it'd take you through the process and how to navigate errors with pictures before pointing you to a video.

If you're learning Bootstrap via YouTube, for example, you'd miss concepts but when you learn with the text-based courses, the videos are icings on your cake. But you need a cake first - the concepts.

Open your browser(Chrome) on your PC
Press F12, it will take you to the console page.

Hi people, currently at the airport heading to Addis Ababa (waiting for my flight).

I'm going to be talking about my 2 month industry experience so far.. this will give every aspiring software developer a view of what to expect and whatnot...

I should start composing this month

OP, you didn't write about your industry experience again and how it's been so far.
But why would such an interesting thread die? Literally spent my entire evening reading from beginning to the end. I'm highly impressed and motivated. Starting this journey soon, na laptop remain.

Good morning everyone, please I need your guys to help.

I'm learning bootstrap in W3 schools but I'm stuck on how to create nav bar. If I copy and paste the code on my visual studio, it will work fine. Once I type it, it won't work. I have checked the whole wordings and it is well written. If you have a way I can go about it, please let me know.

Thanks very much.

TheManOfTheYear what's up man? How's it going?

Tech rock bro. Within a year, our @manoftheyear did it. Congrats bro. Keep flying

TheManOfTheYear:
So people, I've not really been active on here, I apologize, work wan kee me lol

Soon, I'd be leaving the country for the first time (for work), and I'm super excited. My passport and visa ready, I need to do a COViD result test a day before the team leaves. Tech can literally change one's life, but at the same time, it has been so challenging lol.

My mental health was tested many times , but so far so good, I've been faring well. Thank you Lord!

Is it the same salary you'd be getting when you travel?

If you are not a developer that will take you time to build. It's better to give the work to a developer!

Check this:
https://frontend-react-blog-lilac (dot)vercel(dot)app

That was built with Django and React.
