I graduated in December and im trying to get hired as a junior/graduate software developer but im not having much luck. There's a couple of things limiting me...
First is I can't relocate. Or rather relocation is a last resort because I own the house im currently in, I don't wanna leave it empty for an extended time.
Secondly ive got very little actual work experience doing anything :\
Thirdly I think im crap at maths. Ive done stuff on project euler and its never been a barrier for me in uni but the only interview ive had so far im pretty sure I failed horribly at the aptitude test. It was full of worded algebra questions where I have to create the equation then solve it. Ive always been garbage at this type of thing. Im thinking about doing a khan academy course because im fed up being scared of algebra.
Anyways I have a portfolio and a CV, would be cool if I could get some critique on them. My CV is under the "Links" dropdown:
http://www.maxpower.rocks/
Excuse the ".rocks" domain... it was the cheapest top level domain I could get apart from .space and with .space I could see people putting a dot then hitting the spacebar so .rocks it is :|
Right now im learning how to use spring-boot to make a new website and when the need arises either React or Angular 2.0 for the frontend, probably React though, I think web development is where I want to end up eventually. Im also looking for a basic unskilled job doing anything, I gather its easier to find employment if you're employed to begin with.
