Not everyone can become a programmer

They say that not everyone can become a programmer. Indeed, only those who are ready to study become programmers. Those who are not ready will never master this path! I recently spoke with HR of a large outsourcing company. She said that the Junior Java Developer vacancy receives 500 resumes. It is not possible to view all resumes, so they are viewed selectively. A negative point for juniors is that it’s hard for smart people to get an interview to demonstrate their knowledge. Most likely, their resume will not even be opened. A negative point for companies is eternal interviews; among the interviewees there are no smart guys to hire. I understand why this is the situation now. Nowadays programming courses are like mushrooms after the rain. Each such course teaches programmers for a couple of months and instills in its students the confidence that they are ready to find a job. You can't become a programmer in a couple of months! In a couple of months you can only change the language, because those who programmed in one language know the basic principles and know how to program. To master a language from scratch to a level sufficient for employment requires several times more time. I estimate you will need 8-12 months. In order for HR to see your resume, you need to send it more often, with a certain frequency. For example, for the same vacancy every day. It's up to you how often to send. Let's say HR saw your resume and opened it. Your resume should be well written, then she will decide to contact you. So, you got a call and were invited for an interview. You can stand out from others only with knowledge. Java Core alone is not enough to get a job. You must be able to write SQL queries. It is advisable for you to navigate the leading frameworks for the chosen language. For Java, which is learned in JavaRush , these are Spring and Hibernate. To confirm that you are not a crooked theorist, links to your projects are inserted into your resume. Usually they are rarely watched, but this is a confirmation that you are seriously ready to work in your chosen direction. What I'm getting at: whoever shows persistence in learning will become a programmer. You don’t need to have super mental abilities, you just need to approach this issue responsibly and take clear steps: 1) read books, 2) solve problems, 3) complete a project using leading frameworks, 4) describe it in your resume, 5) submit your resume for review a knowledgeable person, 6) prepare for an interview (learn how to ask traffic rules questions and answers for an interview), 7) monitor vacancies, actively send your resume This is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. I will repeat. Only those who are ready to study become programmers. Those who are not ready will never master this path! I believe in you! You have already taken the path of a programmer. The main thing is don’t give up and don’t give up! And JavaRush will help you gain knowledge.
