How I Got My First Developer Job

This is a story about persistence, learning, and taking the right opportunities at the right time.

The Beginning

Starting my journey in software development wasn't straightforward. Like many others, I had to learn while balancing other responsibilities and commitments.

Key Learnings

• Consistency is more important than intensity
• Building projects that solve real problems
• Networking and community involvement
• Never stop learning and adapting

The Job Search

The job search process taught me as much about myself as it did about the industry. Each interview was a learning opportunity, and rejection was just redirection.

Final Thoughts

Landing that first developer job was just the beginning. The real journey of growth and learning continues every day in the role.
