klutch3705yI could prove to be a valuable asset, I just don't know where to start. I've only done work for myself!

To be honest, I'm not the one you are looking for if you wanna get a job, I haven't got one because (damn you school) the fucking education system is stealing all my time in the pandemic.
But, you can always
* Get into a mentor learning course
* Do some projects and post them on github to refer them as experience.
* Study to interview questions from YouTube. CS Dojo is a good one!
* btw I use arch
* Just go to a company's site and press the "apply" link and pray to god
* Contribute to a Open Source Project
* Google this subject because I'm no HR.
* Read some books about it! HumbleBundle has a great offer right now! For starters though.
Good luck! -
klutch3705yI've got so many projects and programs, and my list of skills far surpasses the amount allowed on a resume! I will go through all of this, and do it again. Thank you kindly!

@klutch
Most important tip: don't send the same resume to everyone.
1. Pick a posting you're interested in
2. List your skills and experience that are relevant to that position
3. List a few that are tangential and indicate growth, market awareness
4. Share some commits you're proud of and why they should care
N. Include a cover letter that tells them why they should give a shit. What makes you different and better than the next bucket o' skills on paper.
Last, a resume should be 2 pages. 1 for the cover letter, 1 for the skills and experience. Any longer and you get binned.
I need some paying work...
