I am in a similar position and would like to restate the question.
If someone applied for a job, saying he was a new programmer, what would you look for to see if he was worth considering for a position?
- aarongough 16y agoWhether or not the person in question can actually write code. In my experience (both hiring and being hired) no company is going to hire you for a programming position unless you can already code reasonably well. That doesn't begin to cover the full picture (ancillary tools like testing, version control, etc... as well as teamwork and time management skills, more...) but it's enough to get a foot in the door at some places.
- nrj 16y agoI would recommend you hit up Craigslist and start responding to ads under Computer->Gigs. You can often find small and simple coding projects. That's how I got started building up my resume after I graduated.
- aarongough 16y agoI agree. I actually did the same thing.
