- there is a lot of doom and gloom in the job market right now, but the job market will improve over time
rather than focusing on the negativity, we should only focus on things that we can control
the only thing you can control is your mindset and work ethic
this is how I approached the my first job search and how I would do it again
note: I went through the job search in 2021 and 2022 to get my first and second job as a web developer

Trying to stay positive. its been a year since my last interview despite countless applications. thank you 🙏
Keep going, you will make it!
@johnsoto7112 that’s a long time since an interview
have you been working on a portfolio?
you can send me an email and I’ll take a look at it
Can you please make a video of your resume you used for getting first job review ???
oh I made that one already czcams.com/video/OlxivCSz3eM/video.html
rule 1: eliminate distractions.
Me watching this video to distract myself: "Damn it."
haha I thought of that when making this vid
this vid is the exception 😄
FCC & ODIN 👏YES ✅
I somehow got hired with no CS degree and no bootcamp
I still feel like I'm not good enough and wonder why they hired me lol
I'm 3 months into my first tech job
best free resources haha
congrats! yeah the first few months does feel like impostor syndrome is settling in, but you'll get better over time as you keep working
日本の仕事はどうですか? いつか日本に住みたいと思います。でも敬語は少し難しいですよね。
私が働いている会社は楽しいですよ。敬語は使ってないです(笑)普通の「です・ます」で十分だと思います。給料はアメリカに比べたら低いですけど、家賃も低いです。私の2階家は月4万2千円で、アメリカのドルにしたら、$300/month ぐらいです。@@jooweee
なるほど、会社が楽しいのは良かったですね。
それはとても面白いです。確かに給料とか家賃は低そうです。
教えてくれてありがとう！
Any tips for quitting video games? I feel like that’s my biggest distraction in life right now.
I think you should identify the reason you're addicted to video games. is it because you're running away from your problems or because you enjoy the gratification of ranking up?
The longer that you ignore the things that you need to do, the larger they become... until it gets to a point where you're unable to ignore them. For me, this is what happened with the job search. I played video games throughout college to run away from my problems. When I started job searching, I knew that if I played video games, I wouldn't have full focus and less time to code.
one tip I have is to make it difficult to start playing video games - this could be deleting the games or putting them out of reach
Can u show your linkedin/github ? ty sr
hi I have those links on my portfolio www.joeyhwang.dev/
Awesome video the job search is rough but we'll all make it eventually. It's all pretty much an inevitable numbers game. This is slightly unrelated to the vid but where did you get that bright lamp that's next to your Shinobu wallpaper? The lamp looks steins;gate-esque and lowkey I kinda wanna buy it if there's some available online.
ty! I bought it on etsy www.etsy.com/listing/718490456/unique-table-lamp-edison-steampunk-desk?ref=yr_purchases&variation0=1186525177&variation1=1186525171 socket color = silver dimming
it does look like it could be from steins gate lol
@@jooweeeThanks King 👑
By the way keep going don't stop uploading videos man
ty! I've been pretty busy with work lately and some other things, but I have some ideas for the next couple of videos!
I’m curious, what job did/do you work right out of college when you can’t get a job with your CS degree.
I was fortunate to be able to live at home during the job search
if you’re unable to get a job with your cs degree, you may have to take any job you can to afford your living expenses
in the US, the best part time jobs are probably ones that include tips
What is the most important factor to find a medium level job ?
interview skills are probably the most important factor
with experience, it should be much easier to get past the resume screening
Was leetcode asked for nonFaang companies. Currently I’m doing 5 hours a day of React projects, and 3 hours leetcode.
I’m wondering, maybe I should cut down on leetcode?
in my first job search, it wasn’t asked often, since I only got interviews with small companies
I wouldn’t spend too much time on leetcode to get the first job, since you’ll probably be targeting small / non tech companies
