How to Build a Project That Will ACTUALLY Get You a Job

If you are trying to get a job as a software engineer but lack a degree and experience then you need a way to show off your skills. The best way to do this is by building a project but not all projects are created equal. In this video, I go over a project I recently found on the internet which perfectly showcases what you should be doing in order to stand out and show off your abilities.

This is the most underrated channel I've ever seen bro. No click baits, reality checks, straightforward content. I'm gonna share this on Twitter.

Also please make a video on such complex projects ideas and solutions to work on as a developer.

Wish I could like this twice. I’ve been at the process of becoming a developer for a little over a year, and though Ive made leaps and bounds in my technical knowledge and coding abilities I have really struggled with demonstrating my value to recruiters. Thank you so much Alex!

I have made a cross-platform file encryption desktop software in Go, published it under MIT licence and shared on LinkedIn. Recruiters and engineers keeo telling me how much better it is than some people who just build a twitter clone

After I finished my training where the company used C#, I fell inloved with it. It's simple design, OOPness which makes more sense to me than writing javascript don't know why haha and It's the same age as me, It's a no brainer haha. You are one of the best YouTube creators that worked with C# that I followed because you wanted to teach others to become great developers. I've been following I think over a month now. And I will continue to support this channel. Thank you.

I am looking for someone to build up my project - that’s a mobile application. The design is almost ready. Could you suggest someone, preferably knowing Russian language. Thank you!
