May I ask how you demonstrated how good you were to the hirer?
I had done some small personal projects and two websites, which I highlighted on my resume. I also had spoken at a few Meetups, so I had an "Appearances" section on my resume as well.
Ultimately, the place that hired me was one of 4 actual interview I went on (with maybe 75 applications sent). They assigned me a takehome assignment. I later found out I was the only candidate who successfully completed it.
I hope you're liking your work in web development
Yeah! It's fun using my brain to make a living, and most importantly, I work a lot less than I had to before, for a lot more money.
They gave me a take home assignment and I did it. I later found out I was the only applicant who successfully completed it.
What's that old quote? "Half the work is showing up" or something like that. You just did what they asked and - boom - got the job. Well done! I'm tucking that one away under "life insights".
Thank you for taking the time to answer that question.
