DailyDev Checklist : How i'm preparing to get the first dev job

1. JS theory study, including project (2hr)

2. React study,  including project (2hr)

3. Algorithm study (2hr)

Hi, it's me Brandon. I want to be a well known guy when you think of JS like when you search tutorial videos, you think of Brad Traversy on YouTube. I will never stop studying until i get a proper job. I never had an opportunity  to have a job experience as i had to join army. I never tried to study algorithm as i was focusing on building services and i thought i will be an employer at my own company. I was absolutely wrong and i should have focused on building a lot of toy projects to show what i can do to company's HR and do many coding interview questions. 

i made the checklist for you its like workout flow. Do just 2 things 

• Build fucking projects 
• Do as much as algorithm questions. 

How i will prepare for the coding interview 

I'm still not preparing to pass coding interview at all still taking online course on Udemy. I found out that this is what i need to study (show algo types ). Also, i bought a book that is written in Korean but im sure the original book is written in English. I tried leetcode as it's the most popular coding interview website globally but i found it so hard as this is my first study. so i tried to study the theory first on Udemy and do the easily question on CodeWar website with Flion Pop. I will keep trying to do at least 1 question every single day. Algorithm masters say if i get used to it and be at a certain level, i will be able to see the pattern and should pass it easily. 

How i am preparing for the portfolio? 

I was studying JS theory which is super super boring stuff. but i know it is very import but i still don't like it. One day, i found 100 projects 100 days that is like you do 1 project 1 day. But one of my mentors say do a project that has completeness, no matter what the idea is and how easy or difficult it is. I completely agree with him but i'd 1 small toy project with vanilla JS knowledge and then once i have confidence a little bit, i'd start focusing on 1 big project. For me, i can't wait to complete Tesla Robotaxi app and do the real service even if i have only 1 visitor. 

What would you do from now on? 

I have made DailyDev checklist to focus on 3 things to get a dev job asap. before telling you these 3, i want to say that when i went to job interview, i got a question "I can see your 100 toy JS projects but can you create those 100 project in React JS?". At that time, my answer was no still no... but i'm trying. Anyway, 3 things i would focus is that Vanilla JS, React JS and Coding interview after setting the minimum time. I found myself like when i focus on one project, i just do it all day and delay the other stuff like "oh fuck it, i will do it tmr". but i still never do, especially when i study React. It's a little different when i create project with only Vanilla JS. So, i will do 2hrs for each of them everyday so in total it's 6hours in total.
