怎么匯報一周開發工作情況
Whether you’ve done a coding bootcamp or taught yourself, getting your first developer job with only a few months of coding under your belt is hard.
無論您是完成了編碼訓練營還是自學了,僅靠幾個月的編碼就很難拿到第一份開發人員的工作。
問題 (The issues)
There are two main issues you’ll come across when you’re in this situation.
在這種情況下,您會遇到兩個主要問題。
- You probably won’t have any qualifications in computer science or programming. 您可能沒有計算機科學或編程方面的任何資格。
- People believe that you can’t have learnt all the skills needed to be job-ready in a few months. 人們認為,幾個月之內您可能還沒有學會準備工作所需的所有技能。
缺乏資格 (Lacking Qualifications)
Unfortunately, a lot of the people making the hiring decisions are traditional in their approach, often requiring a degree in computer science, or at least in a STEM subject. Not having a degree in one of these subjects will mean that you won’t get through the initial CV screening stage for some jobs.
不幸的是,做出招聘決定的許多人在他們的工作方式上都是傳統的,通常需要計算機科學或至少是STEM學科的學位。 沒有這些學科之一的學位意味著您將無法完成某些工作的初始簡歷篩選階段。
Whilst this is a bummer, the solution isn’t to go and spend 3 years and thousands of pounds to get a degree. The landscape is changing and there are definitely jobs that don’t require a degree.
雖然這真是令人b目結舌,但解決方案不是花3年又花費數千英鎊來獲得學位。 情況正在發生變化,并且肯定有不需要學位的工作。
Even some very large firms are removing the degree requirements as they realize that actual experience is much more valuable than obscure education (notably Goldman Sachs).
即使是一些非常大的公司也取消了學位要求,因為他們意識到實際經驗比晦澀的教育更有價值(尤其是高盛)。
Focus on getting your first developer job at a company that doesn’t require a degree. Three years of commercial experience is worth a lot more than a degree, and you’ll be getting paid the whole time, not getting yourself into debt.
專注于在不需要學位的公司獲得第一份開發人員的工作。 三年的商業經驗比一個學位更有價值,而且您將一直得到報酬,而不會陷入債務困境。
缺乏技能 (Lacking the Skills)
Most of the people who will be interviewing you will have completed a 3 or 4-year degree and then worked their way up the ladder to the position they are in now. This is why they can’t believe that you could be job ready in just 3 months.
大多數將要面試您的人都將完成3年或4年的學位,然后逐步晉升到現在的位置。 這就是為什么他們無法相信您可以在短短3個月內就做好工作的原因。
This will often be reinforced by experiences with other bootcamp or self-taught developers who they’ve worked with who did lack the skills needed to be a constructive member of the team.
與其他曾經訓練過的新手訓練營或自學成才的開發人員的經驗通常會加強這種經驗,他們確實缺乏成為團隊建設性成員所需的技能。
After all, 3 months is a very short time to learn a lot of skills.
畢竟,三個月是學習很多技能的非常短的時間。
I’m not saying that it is impossible, but that you’ll have had to work incredibly hard. You probably are missing a few skills that you need or have some things that you need practice. Luckily, whilst a degree takes years and thousands of pounds, you can learn and improve your skills quickly and easily.
我并不是說這是不可能的,但是您將不得不非常努力地工作。 您可能會缺少一些所需的技能或需要練習的東西。 幸運的是,雖然學位需要花費數年甚至數千英鎊,但您可以快速輕松地學習和提高技能。
你需要做什么 (What you need to do)
To overcome the reservations that the interviewers have, you need to demonstrate your skills and experience. Have lots of projects that you can show to interviewers. You should be able to answer a tech question with “this is the answer and this project is where I found out the value of doing it like this”.
為了克服面試官的保留意見,您需要證明自己的技能和經驗。 有很多項目可以展示給面試官。 您應該能夠用“這就是答案,而這個項目正是我發現這樣做的價值所在”來回答技術問題的方法。
My advice to anyone in this situation is to do everything you can to draw attention away from the fact that you did a bootcamp or that you’ve only been coding for a few months. This doesn’t mean lie, but don’t put it on your CV. If they ask you where you learnt to do something you could say:
對于在這種情況下的任何人,我的建議是盡一切可能引起人們的注意,以避開您進行過訓練營或僅僅編寫了幾個月的代碼。 這并不意味著說謊,但請不要放在自己的簡歷上。 如果他們問您您在哪里學習了做某事,您可以說:
`I really became proficient with ${skill} when I work on ${project name}. It pushed me from being able to use it to really understanding how it works and my approach to using it changed. I learnt the value of doing ${something you learnt to do better}.`
“當我從事$ {project name}的工作時,我真的很熟練使用$ {skill}。 它使我從能夠使用它轉變為真正理解它的工作原理,并且改變了我的使用方法。 我了解了做$ {您學會做得更好的事情}的價值。
This could have been a project that you did as part of the bootcamp or an extra project that you did afterwards. If they ask you if you did a bootcamp or how long you’ve been coding, you will have to be honest, but make sure you highlight all of the skills that you’ve improved since then.
這可能是您在新手訓練營中做過的一個項目,也可能是后來做過的一個額外項目。 如果他們問您是否進行了訓練營或編碼已有多長時間,您將必須誠實,但請確保突出顯示自那時以來提高的所有技能。
This brings me nicely onto my next point:
這使我很好地介紹了下一點:
Don’t stop learning. Don’t stop improving.
不要停止學習。 不要停止改善。
If you graduate from a bootcamp and don’t carry on improving yourself, I don’t blame them for not hiring you. I would spend most of my time practicing the skills I was taught in the bootcamp. There are hundreds of posts listing great project ideas.
如果您從訓練營畢業,并且不繼續提高自己的能力,那么我不怪他們沒有雇用您。 我會花費大部分時間來練習在訓練營中教給我的技能。 有數百篇文章列出了很棒的項目構想。
Personally, I spent three weeks building an e-commerce website with dynamic products, baskets, user accounts and receipt emailing. This was largely practicing skills that I had learnt from online courses I’d done.
我個人花了三周時間建立了一個電子商務網站,其中包含動態產品,購物籃,用戶帳戶和收據電子郵件。 這主要是練習我從在線課程中學到的技能。
To add a new skill, I spent the next week adding a chatbot to the site. I’d never done anything like this but some online tutorials and a bit of trial and error and I got it working.
為了增加新技能,我花了下周的時間在網站上添加了聊天機器人。 我從來沒有做過這樣的事情,但是做了一些在線教程和一些試驗和錯誤,然后我開始工作了。
Building this chatbot was the best spent week of my whole time off. I interviewed at a company who had just built a similar chatbot for a customer and were looking to expand that side of the business. Having shown them my chatbot, I got an offer before I’d left the building and now have built a chatbot platform that handles over 100,000 chats a month!
構建這個聊天機器人是我整個假期中度過的最佳時間。 我在一家公司采訪過,該公司剛剛為客戶構建了一個類似的聊天機器人,并希望擴大業務范圍。 向他們展示了我的聊天機器人后,我在離開大樓之前得到了報價,現在已經建立了一個聊天機器人平臺,該平臺每月可以處理超過100,000個聊天!
綜上所述 (In Summary)
- Have lots of projects which demonstrate a range of skills and experiences 有很多項目展示了各種技能和經驗
- Be discrete about your bootcamp background or how long you’ve been coding 不了解您的訓練營背景或編碼已有多長時間
- Don’t stop learning new skills and sharpening the skills you have 不要停止學習新技能并提高技能
