Happy new year!! Everyone.

I want to finally get my first job as a developer. I have been trying to transition into tech for the past two years. I have been teaching general and advanced mathematics in high schools here in Nigeria. My goal will be to finally land a programming job in 2022.

Anyone hiring or any senior looking to take a valuable junior under his belt I'm open to working, learning and adding great value. My email is in my profile. I look forward to hearing from anyone.

Hi Tolexx, I wrote a Twitter thread last year on how to get your first developer job - https://twitter.com/hrishio/status/1321389002273001473

I hope you find something useful in that. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to email me (in profile). Btw your email is not visible in your profile. You need to add it in the about field. The account email value is private.

All the best and happy new year!

Hi! I will definitely look at the twitter thread. I have been applying but haven't had any luck. I have gotten a few responses too but haven't landed any gig. I know it's a journey. At the moment I want to get on the job experience and get experience building projects within a team. I'm not asking much in terms of salary. Just working and gaining valuable experience. I have developed a few projects for myself, for friends and some clients.

My email is tolexreal7@gmail.com. Thanks.

Keep an eye out for the "Who is hiring?" Threads on the 1st of every month.

Hundreds of posts from within the community.

Yeah I do check that as well. There will be a post on that today.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement.

Good luck Tolexx!

Finding the first job is always really stressful, and I really hope you find what you are looking for.

Happy New Year!

Good luck! Having a math background is surely a plus!
Good luck!
