Andreia Ribeiro

How I landed my junior developer role in 2024: - Almost 600 applications, half spontaneous applications, in 3 months. My job search was mostly with Glassdoor, Indeed, and remote job boards. I used the company website and email to send my applications. I didn't use LinkedIn as I noticed how the job market is saturated there and the roles have thousands of applications. - Around 200 rejections and 15 interviews. - I got 3 offers from spontaneous applications and landed my first role as a backend developer. I studied Java, but none of my offers were in Java. I didn't focus on one specific language, and I was open to trying new things, which eventually, with a lot of effort and a bit of luck, was my winning formula. I hope this can help some newbies out there for the new year ✨

Why do I feel like being inside of the simpsons as an adult

@suereact Omg I'm so sorry to hear it, Sue 🥺 Life is really unfair at times. Don't give up, you deserve the best! Keep fighting ✨ Sending you positive vibes 💗

Happy thursday ✨ Starting the day with a tea as I'm super tired today but will try to do my best. Let's go ✌🏽

Today is a big today ✨✨ I will be meeting in person for the first time some of my colleagues as all the team will meet up to discuss the backend challenges and plan the this year ahead. I'm a bit nervous but also excited with what comes next 💪🏽

80% of my time as a developer is finding the bug and the rest is questioning myself "what is going here.. send help for god sake"

@xcelzx81 Happy New Year ✨✨ I spent a month without doing it and all my back was already hurting a lot 😅

Happy Monday 🌞 What a busy day. Took Ben to the vet and finally got a solution for a bug that I was going crazy about over the last few weeks. Now working on the tests and going to pilates later ✌🏽

@cljwebdev Much needed, tests hurt a lot 😅

@andreiacribeir Happy Monday Andreia, good luck on tests.
