Happy sunday nairalanders, my name is Eseosa and i recently graduated and i am currently trying to get a remote job so i had to recreate my portfolio website for recruiters, mreseosa.com This is the website please help me critique it and if you have any tips for job hunting i would really appreciate it. You don't have to hold back with the critique. Thanks so much.

The game has changed, the field is tighter now and people barely care about your portfolio website anymore. Use your knowledge to build a couple of websites and monetize them through AdSense, it's a little passive income, but it adds up. Or vlog and share your knowledge on social platforms, get paid directly and clients will reach out to you every now and then.

It's tougher for beginners now, but that's just how it is

I understand where you are coming from and alot of people emphasize how bad the job market is right now, the thing is i am not a beginner - i graduated this year but i started learning html when i was 15. So i have been building websites for businesses since i was in 100 level, the issue is there is no consistency, you can have alot of income one month then the next since months nothing. And i do post on instagram This is my handle. Building my professional career is just something i want to accomplish, Thanks for the Adsense tip i will look further into it.

the site make sense bro thumbs up check mine https://my-react-app-blue-ten./ not done with the responsiveness for phone sha....... i'm know html css tailwind jsavascript react, next.js typescript and currently learning react native if you see anything bad please point it even if its little ...........but i use go beg you remove that your picture abeg wetin be this 😂 no hate though but the picture is off

Clean portfolio. Love the look. Hate the position of the menu button as it seems like it took the position of your logo.

I reckon you'd be an excellent Front-end dev with some work as you are already showing signs with your layouts but you need a lot of work.

Loving the next js structure and all that. Doesn't make it look like the typical AI-assisted design but overall, I'd say 70%.

Keep up the good work

I couldn't have said it better. Creating products now seem more viable than seeking for tech jobs as they are phasing out with the emergence of AI.

That doesn't mean one can't make doe with tech. Still on an 8X deal and its private. Didn't have to apply for no jobs out there, just made leverage with an already existing client.

So@original poster, you could start getting private clients. Your portfolio is more than enough.

Been 5 years with the client so it's not like it happened out of the blue. So, my advice is to start now building clientele asap. It would create revenue from the jump and residual income.

And set out to make over 1m a year in residuals. That way you pay yourself without doing much, annually. Most devs end up broke becos they overthink ish and want to save the world by building the next big product or they'd prefer working for a big startup.

I took the other route. I got rejected for 5 yrs and built my ish instead. I started like you as well so don't be scared one bit!

Thanks for this, currently i am building a startup, it is an errand platform like chowdeck but specifically for campuses that way students can get a good source of income without affecting their studies. We just started this year so getting profit is not something we are looking at till 10 years to come because we plan on continuous expansions to different schools with all available earnings but the thing is i also need a way to fund my business while building my career along the way.

As for getting consistent customers it is a work in progress because i am still learning how to communicate my skills.

Website has too much AI slop. No HR would hire you with all those buzzwords on that monstrosity of a website.
