As someone who doesn't have much of a resume, but has a lot of knowledge and passion, I have no idea where to present myself.
Every "job listing" I find for programming asks for a 4 year degree and years experience. Since I don't have either (on paper), I have no idea where to show myself.
Who is hiring Jr. Devs? Where?

- hluska 9y agoI don't think that the traditional "find a job post - click apply - send resume off into the void - wait" model will work very well for you. So instead, I would focus on researching companies and then reaching out directly to founders/very senior engineers. If you work hard to demonstrate passion for both their product and learning how to help build it, you will get some opportunities.
