Ask HN: How to get hired as web designer/front-end developer?
Hello,
I'm a 18 years old, coming from Slovenia. Wondering how to get hired as web designer/front-end developer with small portfolio but great experiences in Photoshop, Html, Css, Sasss, Javascript?
Problem is I can't get work because my portoflio is not showing too much. So I am looking for future customers.
Check my portofilio website, it is still in the making: http://vidakovic.si
If you have any work or tips for me, contact me at miha@vidakovic.si
Thanks
- valevk 12y agoHi, your site is good. AT first glance it looks like a Google product. Maybe you should try to land a web designer job in a company, before looking for customers. I'm sure there are some decent web design companies in Slovenia. So get a junior web developer and build experience. You'll come in touch with clients during your work. Maybe one of them could be your customer, when you decide it's time to go solo.
- easistent 12y agoThanks. Well, problem in Slovenia is there is not easy to find job, even in factory. You at least need to have decent degree. I don't have required degree and enough big portfolio.
- mahadazad 12y agoTry finding some freelance work on odesk/elance etc. That will enhance your portfolio. Try using latest trends like bootstrap 3, angular js, etc.
