Hi Devon my name is Rogelio and I listened an interview podcast made by CodeNewbie to you. After that I follow your link and decided to subscribe to your mentoring session. I am working as It technician at a school. I am trying to work as freelance front end developer or apply to a remote job as a way to improve my skills. I have some knowledge in html, css and a bit of javascript. I am working in a react project building an app for a local company. I would like some advice from you and help to build my resume. I will appreciate your help. Thanks.
Rogelio has done a WordPress project, a static HTML project (I think), and is working on a React project. He’s struggling with the React project because he needs a better understanding of Javascript. He sometimes has to circle back to Javascript while working on the project.
The project is an inventory app for a friend who sells truck covers or liners. The friend is building the back-end in MySQL while Rogelio works on the front-end.
Rogelio was interested in getting more practice in CSS and Javascript. Recommended Javascript 30 for JS. Suggested for CSS he try recreating existing web sites using his own code.
Rogelio is concerned about creating a tailored resume for each recipient. Told him I had found a service that displays different things depending on the visitor.
- Try to find this site and share it with him.
Roadmap
- Practice CSS and JS
- Complete a few small projects for inclusions on CV and in portfolio
- Think about who you would like to serve as a freelancer and start forming relationships with people in that industry
