Hello to all JavaRush students. Now it’s my turn to write about successful employment. Today marks exactly two months since that bright day when I was included in the highest caste of people - programmers)) Briefly about myself. I’m 32 years old, I live in Samara, I don’t have a higher education, I haven’t worked as a programmer before.
Background. In 2000, I entered our local institute to major in “Programmer Engineer,” but due to the fact that at that time I had neither brains nor life experience, I dropped out of it without completing the third year. Then I was more interested in all sorts of Fallouts, StarCrafts and civilizations. After two years in the army, he worked in various jobs where education and experience were not required - security guard, enicer, cable and Internet installer, sales floor worker, call center operator, technical support specialist, etc. in the same spirit. A couple of years ago, I realized that I couldn’t live like this anymore and that something needed to be done. I decided to go into IT. And I haven’t decided where exactly to go yet - either as an admin, or as a tester, or as a proger. My salary did not allow me to continue my studies, so I began to educate myself - learning English, reading various IT forums and public pages, watching thematic videos on YouTube, and taking various tutorials. The range of topics of interest was quite wide, from html to the design of operating systems)) This went on for about a year, and then one day I was drinking beer with a friend, he then worked as a technical director in one office, and he told me: Study Java, they say, Sanek (I'm sure all commas in this sentence are necessary). He then told me how catastrophically there is a shortage of Javers in the labor market and how obscenely much money they earn. This argumentation had an effect on me and the decision was made. Well, it began - all kinds of "Java for beginers" on all kinds of resources. I don’t remember when I discovered JavaRush, around spring - early summer 2014. I completed 10 free lessons pretty quickly. In September, I took advantage of the promotion and purchased a paid subscription for 50%. Around the same time, I started looking for jobs at Java Junior. About JavaRush. I immediately liked the approach to teaching. Good balance between theory and practice. A clear presentation of the material, easy for the brain to perceive - in the form of dialogues. Interesting tasks (in comparison with the same codecademy). Live forum. Although there are elements of competition, they only work if you have other participants as friends. For example, I didn’t have them. If it were possible to look at statistics regarding those participants who registered/purchased a subscription on the same day or week in the same place as me, it would be much more interesting. But this is my purely personal opinion. Overall everything is just great! Job search. During the period from autumn 2014 to spring 2015, in our local labor market I came across only three vacancies for the position of java developer without experience. Let's just say - not a lot. I applied to all the vacancies. The first time I was given a task that I did for too long and the vacancy was filled. The second time they didn’t even answer me. Somewhere in March of this year, I decided to make my own home project - a program for maintaining personal accounting - so that I would have something to show the employer. I never managed to complete it, but some of the functionality was already working and was posted on GitHub. In April, I already despaired of finding a job in my city and began to respond to vacancies in other cities. They answered me a couple of times, but they were embarrassed that I was from out of town, despite my assurances of my readiness to move. And then, in mid-May, a third vacancy for a junior appeared in our city. Here is its content: Junior developer Responsibilities: Support and refinement of an already running project Requirements: Confident knowledge of OOP; Java, Javascript, MSSQL; Knowledge of basic algorithms and data structures; Introduction to WEB technologies and server programming language; Knowledge of the basic theory of relational databases and the SQL language; Desire to master modern software technologies and a conscientious approach to business; Ability to take responsibility and make commitments; Ability to plan your work and achieve results; Performance and responsibility; Conditions: Modern computer and two monitors; Registration in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation; Opportunity for professional growth; Salary is discussed with the successful candidate; Comfortable working conditions; VHI; Type of employment Full-time, full-time After responding to this vacancy, I received an invitation for an interview. Two people interviewed me - the first asked technical questions, the second asked personal questions, such as telling me about my shortcomings, plans for five years, etc. The technical questions were also quite standard - OOP, collections, SQL, I don’t remember anything else. By the way, my home project did come in handy (the link to it was in the resume). I was asked to talk about my project, and along the way they asked clarifying questions about the decisions I had made. At the end of the interview, I was given three test tasks with a one-week deadline. First, it was necessary to create a rather tricky sql query. The second is to write a simple web application with authorization that would send a request to the server, receive a response in the form of json, process it and display it on the page in the form of a table. Third, write a memo. At that time, my knowledge of sql was limited to “select * from tablename”, and my knowledge of java was level 24 in JavaRush. But despite this, I completed the task. But they asked me to redo the memo, but even after redoing it I didn’t like it. Another two weeks passed after I sent my decisions and I finally received the coveted letter with a job offer. What can I say after two months? It was not all in vain! The job of a programmer is really very interesting. During these months I learned a lot of new things. And how much more is to come! About the office. Large energy company. Some business processes are being automated with the help of a project that I am now working on. Working conditions are good - a spacious office for two, with air conditioning. Salaries are above the average for our region. That's all. Thanks again JavaRush. Good luck to all! but they were embarrassed that I was from out of town, despite my assurances of my readiness to move. And then, in mid-May, a third vacancy for a junior appeared in our city.
