Hey everyone! My name is Zaid. I just finished a masters in software design, and I am interested in learning/coding in python, java, and SQL. I am at a crossroads. My prior experience is in report writing and Business intelligence, and application support (a vague term for analyzing software logfiles and troubleshooting). However, I've always wanted to work as a programmer/software engineer/coder doing things in webdev or django or java. I took Java and Python classes as well as NoSQL and traditional databases, and I want to do some work that combines those technologies, but I don't have the work experience to show for it.
I'd like to learn from others about:
How did you land a job as a coder? especially for those with a non-CS background.
what sort of skills do you highlight during an interview or on a resume?
How do you answer technical interview questions?
Thanks and looking forward to joining this community!
