I feel i am lost
I have spent last 3 years by building programming skills and learning about asp.net , sql server logic , restful api.
But i don't think those are enough to get a job in programming even like a jounir or less than it ...guys what should i do for getting a job especially i am fresh graduated from university and got full-time technical support job ..

This might be more for #career-talk
what have you made with the skills you've learned?
what feedback have you received from your job applications that have presumably been rejected?
I didn't find any job with my current skills
you can share images of your resume/CV with personal information redacted in #career-talk to get feedback
I am new on discord so I don't know how to use it
just click the link and you can chat there
or add it to your list in<id:browse> if it's missing
buddy if you can't learn how to use discord unaided you might not be suitable for programming
😂😂😂...
I understood it but I did't deal with message apps like descord it's not like telegram or messenger
it's... pretty close
Ahhh come on i said that because i don't know how to expressing it in English
did you learn aspnet or dotnet?
Asp.net
you need to learn dotnet
you're outdated
To be more clear i have learnt many things from youtube channels named teddy smith
yeah don't put that on your resume
do you know dotnet?
Alright...give me advice bro
i just did
What ?
don't cite youtube as where you learned to code
Ohhh ... So should i say udemy alright?
what did you study?
Asp.net c# and sql server and restful api
in school
I didn't study anything about programming in school
Bro i am from iraq not uk or usa
hmmm ok
if you have no credible learning sources i would skip that entirely, do you have a portfolio/github?
this teddy smith guy teaches aspnet core, which is good
dont say aspnet
just say dotnet
I have github account but didn't used since 2021...just recently
Start use it to take projects code
have you made anything?
i'm looking at this teddy smith guy's repo and it fucking sucks man
who told you to learn from him
guy has a serious duplication problem
duplicate models, empty files, wtf?
I agree with you 100% it's biggest peace of dog shit
...but there is a guy in work told me to learn from him because he found a job after learning from him
you gotta start thinking for yourself brother
Please be clear with me ...what did mean by these words
learn c# foundationally
learn the concepts from the source docs
Are you working in programming or something
learn the frameworks from the docs
professionally for 8 years
I have learn before teddy
once again, have you made anything?
Give me your account in linkedin
Simple projects
Restful api : stock and comments
I will show you what i did learnt before teddy
no
got a repo for this?
you don't need to say "restful api". everyone knows modern apis are restful
restful is the default
Sorry in my country the professional programmer is intermidete in world
I spent three years for this because i am lazy and got many life problems
understood, but clarify where to learn from and set a clear path for yourself!
you can do this
Now
What should i learn
To be modren or standard programmer
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn start here
click on areas you want to learn (c#, backend, frontend -- i prob wouldn't learn frontend from microsoft, and blazor is kind of a waste of time)
I agree with you... Do you working on asp.net cpre
yes, we build 90% of our apis with dotnet.
and we use entity framework and host on azure.
all of that is pretty good
Last question... When should i learn git and github
After or before this
as soon as you have the foundation of a project, sign up for GH and learn how to use git to
add, commit, and push for starters
will require a bit of terminal basics as wellLearn Git Branching
An interactive Git visualization tool to educate and challenge!
but yeah it really doesn't sound like you have any formal education or quality projects to make up for that so i'm not surprised you can't find a job
"fresh graduated from university" made it sound like you studied CS, but you didn't?
you CAN get a job without a CS degree, but you need to demonstrate:
- self-starting learning
- drive to understand foundational concepts
- ambition to expand knowledge with each project
right, those things should be demonstrated by making quality projects
if you can do this, you'll "learn how to learn" and teaching yourself becomes a perpetual engine
instead of asking around or finding old youtube vids
i'm curious though, if you wanted to get a job in programming why didn't you study that in school?
Simply i am in iraq... The worst place in the world
All things in iraq are shit
i mean, maybe that's true but it's not a sentiment you can really take action on
unless you can move to another country
do the schools there not have CS programs?
There are elite schools it's expensive
in that case your best chance is just to use all the free resources online and make good projects to show potential employers
Absolutely...i will thank you guys for saving my time and my mind
good luck, stay focused
"the fucsing " is my life problem 😮💨
