As a hiring manager, I look for smart, curious people that are good at communication. I am ok if you do not have all the relevant skills if I believe you can learn them in short order. If you happen to be in the NYC area, reach out to me, I would be happy to take a look at your resume.

Hello tmaly, I'm a non programmer who has been going to self-taught route studying to become a developer in Python. I'm willing to learn and I highly motivated to become a better programmer I could enter the tech/finance industry. It would be great to get any advice insight from you. Not sure if your post was for non-programmers at your company or for outsiders who are willing to learn Python and programming from you to add more developers to your team? I'm just trying to find a way to break into the field of professional software development that involves the use of Python programming. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. If you like, my email is: pydeveloper22@gmail.com

Also read your older and recent posts by you that your company is looking for junior/mid developers at Interactive Brokers in the CT/NYC area. Well, I checked out the Interactive Brokers site and they have at least openings available listed on there what looks to be for Junior and mid-level Developers. So, I see that you work for Interactive Brokers. Don't know if that still holds up but I wanted to check if the Junior/mid level Developer job is still available? As someone who has been going the self-taught route where I enjoy using and working with Python as far as learning purposes go. And after quickly reading your post here I figured to reach out and try a somewhat different approach than the old cover letter and resume email method and contact you if you may have any info to this current opening at your company? So with that said, here I am..and I wanted to inquire to find out if this opening is still available? If so, do you have a contact email to learn more about this position and the things you require in regards to the nature of the job? My apologies in advance that this may not be the response to your post that you were looking for but I figured why not take a chance and try something different to reach out and learn what I can do to improve my chances to be part of the Interactive Brokers dev team. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks pydeveloper22@gmail.com

    Hello Ty, Thanks for replying back to my post I apologize for the numerous postings I'm still relatively new on here and learning how this forum structure works here. I definitely appreciate the advice and insight you provided as to how to go about the application process especially for someone as myself who fits more into the second category and it's also bonus being in the DMV area. Although the first application category is still quite appealing to give it a try. I also didn't realize you'd be the one to review applications so that's great to hear. Do you know by any chance if the qualifications are strictly required or are they a list of items that are strongly preferred to enhance one's application chances? I apologize for all the questions but I would email you but I would imagine this is probably the preferred method of communication..hehe Once again, thanks for all the help. --Kwaz
