I'm a tech lead with 25 years experience and can tell you the things I look for when hiring: 1. Humility. The most important thing to me is finding someone who is fun to work with, someone who is collaborative and good at problem solving while being self-aware about areas where they want to grow and improve and being willing to share their experiences rather than use their experience to make themselves look better. 2. Good communication. 3. Skillset (Can you actually build things?) 4. Degree. This is the last thing I care about. I've worked with MANY engineers, some degreed, others not and there's ultimately no difference because it comes down to the experience of the individual developer. To be honest, the engineers directly out of college with no experience have been the most arrogant and difficult to work with (generally speaking). Don't be that guy/girl.

Pro Tip, you might be applying to waaay more than 5 jobs. My dad always says "finding a job is a full time job" Edit: As an example, I applied to around 65 and got 1 offer. Your mileage may vary. Internal connections can lower that by a lot, I just didn't have any
THIS was actually an excellent video for me as I have applied so much with minimal response to the point that I thought I was doing something wrong, NOT INCLUDING THE PROJECT REDESIGNS, lol - you got me I can't wait to see the new videos and thanks for the tips!
You look kind of familiar and near the correct age for your return. Have you ever tried your hand at healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons?
Well, carpentry 2000 years ago and software development now have actually a lot in common. You really could say working in IT today is the equivalent of metal and wood working jobs at that age.
You should do a video about soft skills. It's a highly under rated skill set for younger students and you're very good at presenting information in a practical way. Keep up the great work!
Hey guys, i’m also in a position of actively trying to find a job. I’ve been coding for a little over a year now and am a bootcamp grad. I’ve had very, very little luck before just recently. I’ve gotten super active on LinkedIn and have started aggressively contacting recruiters. I’ve gotten more responses and opportunities in the last week than i’ve gotten all year because of this. Build your resume up and make it look great (format wise, dont put random styles on). And contact recruiters, gotta remember...they WANT you to get a job. Hope this helps someone.
Every job I've landed the last ten years or so - I never had any hardcopy resumes with me. I don't know, maybe having some will impress them more, but I seem to impress everyone well enough for now. YMMV
If the economy isn't strong you can apply for literally hundreds of jobs without getting a single interview. As an example during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 I applied for over 200 jobs and didn't get a single call. It can be discouraging.
Forrest Knight, Awesome content. I feel more comfortable with your guidance as I am going through this process. It can be overwhelming when you feel you lack information. 😇
I'll be honest, and I'm not ashamed about doing this but I basically just cold called every company in my local area and asked them if they would take a look at my resume and I was hired as an intern which eventually led me to a job at a different company (I do have a degree). I probably talked to about 200 -300 different firms before receiving one internship offer as a software developer and now work as a data analyst.
Very true. When I did my degree there were soooo many people in the program that even on the last day of school they still had no clue what a variable was or how a pointer worked.
It's a generation problem, partially. When I was about 12, I had to replace the BIOS chip of my XT, but I got a slightly different type and required some debug instructions. This took me into the real machine that operates on binary logic. Today: "I'm a C# professional" Writes apps for a C# compatible API, with an app... I would prefer BASIC, if it's a inefficient multi-layer fully hardware-abstracted system anyway...
Guys, Software Development jobs on Junior level are actually quite easy to earn, think about it , no one is expecting you to know all the things so having strong basics knowledge is all you need ! Just tell them that you are into programming hard and want to become a lot better, if they don't even consider it, then..they just didn't need a junior!
I wish this was true. The majority of job listings within my area list an entry level job as requiring 3 years of professional experience. One literally asked for 8 years of experience (I reported the listing). What they're doing is labeling a not entry level job as entry level so they can pay you less. Then no one offers genuine entry level jobs because they don't want to invest in good staff. They know that they treat genuine devs like crap so they know that if they invest in new devs they'll just be training their competition because no genuine dev will stay unless they're desperate. The only genuine entry level listing requires a 2 year contract at a crappy pay and no benefits.
@Peter Brown an engineering degree....for a junior developer. Im sorry but u must be wasting a lot of potential candidates who studied computer science, the degree that churns out developers, to instead get graduates who are from a lesser related degree such as electrical engineering. This is a junior dev role, not an embedded systems role.
"no one is expecting you to know all the things" Ha. Hahaha. Where do you live, because I want to move there. Almost all job offers I see ask you to know probably every single technology, programming language, framework or whathaveyou that their entire IT department uses. It's absolutely ridiculous. Bonus points when they ask for years of work experience and still marked it as an entry level job or junior position.
I don't agree with not lying on the resume. Lie with in reason. If you know React and don't have job exp but built projects (fyi, that look like could be for a company/client), put you freelanced for couple of years (obviously something believable). You just need to get your foot in door, this is what got me over the hurdle
@Peter Brown Do you need the junior developer to fix your computer(s) or to code cos I don't understand how you'd rather take someone with an electrical engineering degree over one with a CS degree for a software developer position 😐
Thanks, awesome video looking to get into the job hunt in one year when I finish my degree so building my portfolio and learning as much as I can for anything that will help me.
You forgot the part during the HR screening interview where they always ask you about compensation. That first HR is 99% about seeing if the candidate is in the salary range. Everything else in the call is just fluff.
The problem with learning this stuff is if you do years of a course to learn the code, then it sucks because it's almost impossible to get a job straight after finishing, you have to do projects, upon projects, upon projects, that are unique, in different code, and everything just to land one job, so after you finish your course or uni or whatever, you still have to continue doing projects for months more to land one single job. Because I can't just have on my Resume that I just finished a course or something and that is it, it will hardly get you a job.
I'm pretty awkward socially so I'm definitely glad you made this video because I definitely wouldn't have thought to do a lot of these things and I'm realizing how woefully underprepared i am going into college
How I got my first software development job (from the beginning): 1) At 12yo I got a VIC 20 for Christmas and went through the manuals that taught me how to write stuff (mostly simple games) in basic. 2) After school I went to college and learned COBOL, Pascal, and Assembly (amongst a bunch of other computer stuff... And maths). 3) After four years of that I got a job as a computer technician, then network specialist, then systems specialist, then senior systems UNIX specialist (to varying degrees all of these involved various type of programming as part of the job). 4) Then I got made redundant, and the next job I got was all programming and development (using visual basic). So if you ask me, that's how you get a development job Seriously though, my point isit good to have a goal but there are many paths to do a thing. If you don't unduly restrict yourself you will probably pick up a lot of useful skills and knowledge along the way. Who know what I'd be doing now if I didn't get that VCI 20!?
One interesting new hire trend I've seen recently are people, especially junior developers but also mid level ones, 'ghosting' jobs. They go through the process, get hired, show up their first day and everything seems good. A week or so later, they disappear without a word, usually because they got a bigger and better deal offer. Anyone else seen this?
How do you know when you're ready to apply for developer jobs? I haven't applied for any jobs yet. I have only looked up job descriptions and internships, but never took the next step. I have some knowledge of a couple of programming languages and basic data structures. I am almost done with 1 year of Computer Science and completed 1 year of Cybersecurity. I also have Cybersecurity knowledge. What should I do? Just keep learning until I am ready or just take a leap of faith and try applying for a job and see where it goes?
You’re the reason why I decided to officially find my major and what I wanted to study for I’m not sure how I came across your videos about a year ago but it’s helped me motivate me which I’ve been lacking on to continue college and found what I want to do for a living. Thank You.
Cool video, thanks for sharing! Have you any tips for networking in the field? I mean, how would you go about talking to people in the industry in your local area? I sometimes struggle to find others into programming in my area and it sometimes makes trying to practice working with others on projects a bit difficult but I feel like it would be good to practice now rather then later.
Cool. I myself have history and literature studies degrees, but I became interested in technology and development later on, so that's the direction I want to go in. Realised that I wanted a career where I have expertise and technical skills. Seeing that people such as yourself and others go into software dev and technology after having a similar educational background to me is motivating.
I made a portfolio website, spent year and a half coding quite complex mathematical model and one puzzle game and not a single one of hiring managers, which got my job application, opened it, well at maybe they opend it, but not made acc or looked around and what not. So as far as I can see, nobody gives a shit about anything. All they care about is do you have professional exp or not.
I'm having so much trouble changing career. I graduated into the recession with a BS in Applied Math. I couldn't find a job so I went abroad to teach English for a few years. I came back and the only jobs I can find are to teach English. I've been working on my portfolio and github but I'm finding that I can't even get interviews for entry-level positions.
"I'm not telling you to lie on your resume" - soon after I watched this video by Joshua Fluke th-cam.com/video/6ufwxkurKKg/w-d-xo.html - now I'm confyoozed!
To harp on your college comment and people who must have been lying or paying someone or something: It's insane in college how many people try to skimp out of programming for group projects. I literally just graduated (well, just finished, need to wait a few weeks for the actual degree), and I'm really wet behind the ears, I don't consider myself great just yet, but I can work with a few technologies without someone showing me what to do. I might Google syntax if I don't remember something, but I actively know which direction to go in to produce at least something. But I swear, every group project, I was either on my own or me and one other person would do the work and we would snitch snitch snitch (because f!ck those guys, why should they get a good grade for giving me/us more work?)
This exact scenario happened to me in my video game design class. My partner stopped showing up for class, and I soon realized i was writing the project on my own lol
Just something thatll flyby through the comments section, but you might want to change the title of this video to why you dont need a degree to become a software engineer. And with still the same video it accomplishes the same thing BUT it serves as more clickbait because I really find your content as one of the best in the field here.
I have a pretty fat portfolio, been working my ass off and getting decent at programming but with out a degree through the past like 70 applications I literally get nothing back. I also have a website that looks good as well. So according to this I’m doing everything right but not getting anything back.
Any advice for Computer Information System majors? IT majors? I'm recently studying in that field and am taking up classes in SQL and data analytics. I would like a job in IT support or working with data.
How interesting, me as third-world citizen in Argentina and studying in UBA for mechanical enginery where I used to have heavy Math analysis, Chemistry and Physics and people can take even +10 years to get a degree and later finding out how is actually in a USA top college how everybody get their degree in 4 years, their 2 first years they take whatever not-related subjects to careers even in enginery, and really light math. In both cases graduate people just remember 5% of what they studied, so really colleges/universities are useless in my opinion for a lot of careers. Something I can see it is if you have CS degree or enginery and you have a horrible portfolio or do not know how to code and at the same I have a person who is self-taught and have a great portfolio, clean code and make effort to keep learning and know more than 1 language (speaking) tells A LOT bout colleges and "professionals", you may realize to who we will hire. Looks twice or more worse if you went to college and do not know how to code or good portfolio and talks a lot times better if you are self-taught and have good code and nice portfolio.
I’m not sure if you mentioned it but how would you dress for the interview? My schooling is in marketing but prefer doing development now and I feel like I over dress for interviews.
I am a front end developer for 6 months and I want to be a Software Engennier in the future, what do you think about work with software engenneering and web development? or should I migre to another area?
Im just 16 I dont see myself looking for job any time soon but still great video ill be sure to recommend it to someone older and hopefully I will remember it when im older. Also I wanted to ask a question is it a big problem if im a bit shy? Will I find it harder to get a job (or go through interwievs)? should I focus on my confidence first or are skill more important?
The reality is you're still young, you have plenty of time to build up your confidence. You'd be better to start learning the technical skills to get a position. I know plenty of developers that are incredibly shy. Confidence only gets you so far.
Im new so dont judge but Question - i keep seeing things like a national salary and i was the assumption that you could work for most companies at home no matter where you are so how does working in this field really play out?
@@insitakaya1672 I think he's trying to imply that OP has never seen the real Jesus, so he doesn't know what Jesus actually looks like. I don't know what language he's trying to use, but it seems to have a few syntax errors.
So Ι have a M.Eng in Electrical&Computer Engineering, and I struggle to stay motivated because since graduation 5 months pasted. I had over 20interviews and sooooo many technical tests but never an offer. I don't know what to do! I am kinda desperate!
Most probably ure overqualified due to having a masters. U shud try applying for an academia position as a part time lecturer. Also how many yrs of experience and how many projects u have?
Q: What is SOLID A: blah Q: Now explain why and when you use it A: Answer to first question is out of a text book. Second is not. As an interviewer I've seen this many times :(

I feel like I'm scared to apply to a software developer job, whether I'm qualified for that companies position or not
Really helpful, tysm
Jesus used to give bread at medieval times, in 21st century, but, he gives us jobs as developers, Thank You Jesus.
Perfect, I have all my hello worlds lined up.
Just something thatll flyby through the comments section, but you might want to change the title of this video to why you dont need a degree to become a software engineer. And with still the same video it accomplishes the same thing BUT it serves as more clickbait because I really find your content as one of the best in the field here.
I have a pretty fat portfolio, been working my ass off and getting decent at programming but with out a degree through the past like 70 applications I literally get nothing back. I also have a website that looks good as well. So according to this I’m doing everything right but not getting anything back.
Hey homie, did you ever find a job? Or, at least, did your prospects pick up?
Hey did you get there in the end can I see your portfolio website?
Any advice for Computer Information System majors? IT majors? I'm recently studying in that field and am taking up classes in SQL and data analytics. I would like a job in IT support or working with data.
If I hate coding, technology, office work, being inside, computers. Can I still be a software engineer?
I mean yes but you’re gonna hate your job and probably suck at it
Yeah...people hate their jobs all of the time and still do it. However, why would you be looking to jump into an industry that you hate?
Very informative :)
I work 45 to 54 hrs a week as a software engineer intern in India
Your videos = Source of motivation . ❤ from Pakistan
How interesting, me as third-world citizen in Argentina and studying in UBA for mechanical enginery where I used to have heavy Math analysis, Chemistry and Physics and people can take even +10 years to get a degree and later finding out how is actually in a USA top college how everybody get their degree in 4 years, their 2 first years they take whatever not-related subjects to careers even in enginery, and really light math.
In both cases graduate people just remember 5% of what they studied, so really colleges/universities are useless in my opinion for a lot of careers.
Something I can see it is if you have CS degree or enginery and you have a horrible portfolio or do not know how to code and at the same I have a person who is self-taught and have a great portfolio, clean code and make effort to keep learning and know more than 1 language (speaking) tells A LOT bout colleges and "professionals", you may realize to who we will hire. Looks twice or more worse if you went to college and do not know how to code or good portfolio and talks a lot times better if you are self-taught and have good code and nice portfolio.
I’m not sure if you mentioned it but how would you dress for the interview? My schooling is in marketing but prefer doing development now and I feel like I over dress for interviews.
I'm in my first semester of my senior year and one kid didn't know how to comment out code
Good tips
Thank you
I’m in school now. I’m struggling to find something that will help me learn how to code. Any suggestions?
You look like my human warrior in World of Warcraft
I am a front end developer for 6 months and I want to be a Software Engennier in the future, what do you think about work with software engenneering and web development? or should I migre to another area?
Im just 16 I dont see myself looking for job any time soon but still great video ill be sure to recommend it to someone older and hopefully I will remember it when im older. Also I wanted to ask a question is it a big problem if im a bit shy? Will I find it harder to get a job (or go through interwievs)? should I focus on my confidence first or are skill more important?
The reality is you're still young, you have plenty of time to build up your confidence. You'd be better to start learning the technical skills to get a position. I know plenty of developers that are incredibly shy. Confidence only gets you so far.
Sir please make a video on : How to actually apply for Software developer Job at some company online ( complete process)?
Joshua Fluke's got some pretty great examples, but it's limited to Web Dev
@@CLove511 Joshua is a beast when it comes to things like that.
You look like you could save humanity ❤️
Im new so dont judge but Question - i keep seeing things like a national salary and i was the assumption that you could work for most companies at home no matter where you are so how does working in this field really play out?
7:30 That's a little bit delusional. I'm applying to this company because it's the 200th company I've applied to and I need a job lmao
I work as Automation test developer. Want to move to software development position. Is it difficult?
so many student in my class don't know how to code
you said your first job was working with servers, lifting them around...what job title is that?
It's just a piece of paper that they give to anyone who finished the mind-numbing busy work, called school.
He does look like jesus, but he knows his stuff.
if (saw Jesus before === TRUE ){ echo 'yes he looks like Jesus'}else{'we can't tell if he looks like Jesus'}
@@algeriennesaffaires7017 Your comment makes no sense.
@@insitakaya1672 What I mean is yes he looks like Jesus (uncannily so), but that he is a programmer and knows his stuff is more important.
@@thisisheaven2488 Not you, I was talking to the other guy. I agree with you tho, I even had a good laugh 👍
@@insitakaya1672 I think he's trying to imply that OP has never seen the real Jesus, so he doesn't know what Jesus actually looks like. I don't know what language he's trying to use, but it seems to have a few syntax errors.
So Ι have a M.Eng in Electrical&Computer Engineering, and I struggle to stay motivated because since graduation 5 months pasted. I had over 20interviews and sooooo many technical tests but never an offer. I don't know what to do! I am kinda desperate!
Most probably ure overqualified due to having a masters. U shud try applying for an academia position as a part time lecturer. Also how many yrs of experience and how many projects u have?
in athens? I noticed your name is Greek,
Well idk but they say IT is booming in athens lots of jobs if you got the skills
There might be variation on this formula for countries besides USA. For example, the European work place is quite different (than 'Murika).
really? in what ways do you think you should prepare differently for software engineering interviews in Europe?
this is a good video
most companies in Egypt don't respond to emails. like at all!!!
What a fantastic vid! Do you feel interested in testing our FIFINE Microphone? :) That is a kind of microphones that is suitable for TH-camrs
