How can you get a job as a self-taught developer?

This is what I will do if I start from scratch:

1) First, I will define what kind of developer I want to be:

- Frontend
- Backend
- Game developer
- Mobile developer, etc.

2) I will start researching/learning only the necessary skills to get me there – only the necessary skills:

- First, I will research or ask senior developers based on my choice.
- List out all the necessary skills to get me there.
- Gain enough skills, at least to secure an internship in a company.

3) I will start building small and demonstrable projects each week and share them with others:

- I will start building a small project every week and push it on GitHub.
- Meanwhile, I will share what I learned on different social media platforms. This will help me connect with like-minded people and document my journey.

4) I will start enhancing my portfolio and create a CV:

- When I say portfolio, you might think that I am referring to a website (No).
- Having a website is a plus, but what really matters as a developer is your GitHub and LinkedIn. Those are the two platforms you need to focus on.
- Then, I will build my CV filled with my latest projects to demonstrate what I can do.

5) Start applying for an internship (not a job again):

- At this stage, I will start looking for companies that are seeking potential developers based on my choice.
- Contact them and try to get my foot in the industry. Meanwhile, I can repeat steps 3 and 4.

6) Learn as much as possible and contribute as much as possible during your internship:

- Yes, as a developer, you have to constantly learn and update your knowledge.
- Give it your all regardless of the outcome. You might land a job at the same company where you took your internship. If you don't get hired, move on to the next opportunity.

7) Okay, this time you need to look for a job; you have already leveled up from the internship stage:

- Like I said, you don't have to apply for internships anymore. You have already passed that stage; you are now a junior developer. Find a position based on your career as a junior developer.
- Start leveling up from there.

Important note:

* Have faith in yourself and show up every day to do the job.

How long will it take, you ask?

* I would say 1 - 1.5 years to land my first junior position job
