Crost41084y1 year old experience to me doesn't mean employed. Do some open source stuff in your spare time for a bit + I would rather see that.

What's really dubious is the requirement for years experience in some framework 🙄 I always imagine that it's the companies that don't have any other stronger foundation than their boring toolchain.

anthony92144yby the way , in my country Indonesia always like this. i dont know what requirement in other country

because you need sufficient knowledge to be useful in this profession?
There's a saying that you need 10'000 hours of practice to become good at something.
And self humility is a good trait to have. So set some goals and work out a way to get there.

@anthony92 by teaching yourself and build stuff. So that you've got a portfolio / github repo with useful and relevant projects to show to potential employers.
for example

@anthony92 read this beginners book about front end development
https://frontendmasters.com/books/...
It will give you an overview on the profession.
And here are some learning resources.
https://scrimba.com
https://www.freecodecamp.org
https://www.katacoda.com
And a very good javascript book "you don't know javascript yet"
https://github.com/getify/...
And some projects to build
https://javascript30.com
Best of luck, and if you can ask a friend to help you by holding you accountable in learning new stuff. Make it a habit to read at least 60 pages of a book daily. -
@anthony92 Also please watch this video, it will give you maybe a new perspective on yourself ;D

Look for grad programs if they have any, or just apply for those 1 year positions with a good portfolio.
The requirements on a job spec are always just a wishlist anyway! -
If you really don't find anything and are confident in your learning abilities, offer a free month.
This obviously isn't risk free and it can only work when there is some other coder who can assess your progress. But if it works, it works because they know that you match the team and are willing to learn.
If you are an advanced power user, you could also start by doing inhouse tech support and then gradually shift to administration, devops, and (finally) coding.
Same approach but going in via the test team is also possible and might be faster today.
Whatever you do: Don't get into gamedev though. -
LLAMS37484yKeep applying to places regardless until one gives you an interview and prove your knowledge and skills.
Being provably skilled trumps years of experience in my book, and the book of anyone who knows anything.
Why is so hard to get job as programmer ? always need 1 year experience in coding
