Comment on Ask HN: Why wouldn't you hire a programming boot camp graduate?

Comments

Just like any other candidate, I wouldn't hire them if they didn't seem qualified, they had no projects to show me or they seem like a bad fit, personality-wise.

If you have no previous experience and your only education is a boot-camp, then I would recommend getting some projects up on github. If you have nothing then just make up some stuff for fun. I generally won't hire somebody if they have no code to show me.

Good luck!

If you have the time, a link to my Github account can be found in my profile and I would enjoy hearing your opinion on what I have there.

Cheers!

I think your profile looks good. You look like somebody who likes a combination of real, working code and fun projects to tinker around with. That's pretty much the type of person I look for. I'd say just keep doing more of the same!
