Yes I plan to keep leveling up for sure. And plan to finish the project, it will be a backend api to a E-Commerce website using Laravel, of course, I am planning on becoming a Backend Developer. And I plan to add Events\Listeners, Queues, Cache, 3rd Party Integrations(maybe PayPal), and maybe add some DevOps stuff using Jenkins(PHP unit, SonarQube, Code coverage for PHP), Ansible, etc... And I know there is a lot to learn, but if I do add all that (what I wrote up above) and finish the project, then can it be worthy of me getting a job, is that what you are saying, if I FINSIH the project of that level and maybe 2 more, I would be ready to start applying for Jr Laravel Developer Roles? But at least you say this is junior work. That made me feel like all this work I have put into web development has finally paid off. And yes I know what you are saying also of understanding the fundamentals first, and about making a up to date readme, adding screen shots of how it works, commit code on github, and uploading my code to github, and keep leveling up :) Thank you for your feedback! |

You don't need a 100% complete project to get hired, but you definitely need more than a few models and a controller. E-commerce can be a big thing to bite off, so try and define a concrete (and simple!) scope of what your app should be doing.
Bonus points if you get some tests written in there too.
Otherwise, applying for jobs right now in the junior area is quite the crapshoot. It's a volume game, so you might as well start applying for any and every junior role you see. It might not even be Laravel/PHP related.
