Our career services is the same way. I think they do that though because they don't want to over promise people employment employment so just kind of look at it that way like they don't want. Give your hopes up in terms of making you think you're guaranteed a job so they start off pretty basic. I think for that reason but tech elevator kind of does promise employment but it's hard to do that nowadays. It's really hard to do that so just keep moving forward😊
@@thetechdad87 yeah, they sell it to boot camp students or potential boot camp students as if they're going to get you hired and they have these networks of employees. But the truth is they can't promise you a job and I think most of us know that part at least. But they don't want to get our hopes up too much. But I do wish that there was more inside scoop so to speak. Because ultimately it depends on how well we interview
Agreed BUT I will say TE was very clear there are no promises and it would take a lot of hard work. Also it looks like now that class is over I'll be getting a lot more 1 on 1 career services. But like you said ultimately it's up to use to turn the charm on and put the work in!! 💪
@@thetechdad87 Yes, coding dojo is the same way. They don't make any promises out the gate and I'm cool with that because nothing is guaranteed. You can't promise anything in life, even if you have a computer science degree. The advisor's there don't guarantee you a job because you have a master's degree in computer science or a bachelor's, so it's really all relative
Seriously thank you. We do all this stuff for our families and no one says that enough I genuinely appreciate it. I'm proud of you too. I know it's not easy
My advise to you (and to others going through a journey like yours in programming) is to start freelancing. Build a project to demo for clients and start showing it off. Of course, don't stop applying for jobs, and don't stop expanding your network and don't stop working on your skills, but freelancing and building at least a few projects to try and sell will serve two purposes: 1. Hone your skills 2. Maybe get some extra cash. Best of luck
I like that suggestion I have a few simple projects in the works to keep me busy I'm thinking about doing some high level videos where I explain stuff to better reinforce my learning and help others
That's huge, congrats! 😯
Thank you

Yeah I think I just expected to be more personalized but in reality there is no handbook on how to do this. Were all just figuring it out together.

From one Tech Dad to another man I’m proud of you bro! I actually just finished a coding Boot Camp myself in April actually did a six month course.
