How to get a programming job with no experience for young programmers

Nowadays it's a lot harder for programmers to get a programming job, simply because every third Jack is now doing programming and/or studying Computer Science.

I've compiled a list of five things you can do to stand out from the crowd and easily get a job. This list is aimed at high school students, college students, university students. I however think it will also be beneficial to programmers that don't fit the category.


In the following video I talk about the list and explain everything:

In short, the list is as follow (but I recommend you watch the video instead):
1. Create a personal website
2. Self-publish apps
3. Do online courses for certifications
4. Create your own business/company
5. Don't be afraid of people and don't be afraid to ask for jobs

Advice for young programmers

I've wanted to create a video where I give advice to young programmers for months now and I've never had the chance until now. I bought a new camcorder this week and will now be doing more vlogs regularly. This is the first vlog of many.

I know that I am still young myself and advice like this should probably be coming from more experienced and older programmers however I feel that I have gained enough experience and learned enough to be talking about this subject. I believe the tips and advice I give in this video for young programmers are really important and useful. They should definitely focus and follow this if they're serious about their future career in programming.

Here is the video:



I actually think that some of the advice I gave in this video can also be applied to other jobs and careers that is not about programming and for non-programmers from outside the programming world.

I hope you enjoy the video and that it helps and inspires you!
