If you talk to anybody about a job, look at any job description, you will find that you need experience in order get a job as a developer. But how do you get that experience? Check this video out to find out how I landed my first job as a developer with no previous coding experience.
When I first started looking for jobs, I had transitioned from reviewing reports in excel at a life insurance company to going to coding Bootcamp. I have a video on my channel about that transition here: • Becoming a Web Developer | Part I , however if you’d like to see an updated version, give this video a like!
So there I was, no work experience as a developer but enough coding knowledge to be dangerous and recruiters and hiring managers didn’t see it 🤷🏾♀️- I didn’t get it.
Thank you for watching :)

💁🏾♀️ Who Am I:
Greetings, my name is Tiffany! I have been a Software Engineer since 2017. I have mostly focused on backend engineering specifically using PHP/Laravel and MySQL. I enjoy the journey of learning, contributing to making a better product and working with a great team.
I first learned about code back in 2009 but didn’t really understand the entire tech field at the time. Later on, I decided to join a coding bootcamp called Coding Dojo, to improve my tech skills - It definitely was the best decision for me! It was a long journey and I started documenting my journey via youtube.
