Topic: [Question] Web Developer (Entry Level?)

[Valvatorez]

Mga co-spy, not-so-fresh graduate ako in BSIT. Simula noong nag-thesis ako, na-inlove ako sa web development, I finished a complete system with my partners in guidance of our critic, hindi pinagawa or sort of. And ngayong graduate nako naging free lance ako at naka-experience ng once or twice na projects sa small clients. But I want to put it to the next level, gusto ko mag-apply sa isang company. But I have doubts and concern.

a) May entry level ba as web developer? Mga nakikita ko kasing requirements, need ng may experience blah blah.. 
b) Kapag nag-apply ka, at nag-exam kailangan ba kabisa mo talaga mga codes in web development? (Kasi building a complete system mahirap naman kapag kabisa mo lahat ng syntax or sort of kasi iba iba yun, css, php, mysql, ajax, etc. 

Yun lang po muna ang nasa isip ko ngayon. Haha. Hoping for some answers and advise. Salamat!

Nice target bro . continue mo lang yung gusto mo. anyway sagutin ko lang yung mga tanong mo

1. Meron entry level xempre for web developer, nahirapan ka lang siguro hanapin pero tyaga lang apply apply at send ng mga applications
2. Hindi mo kelangan na kabisado mo syempre, ang pinakamahalaga lang actually yung logic kung paano mo inexecute yung coding mo then yung mga syntax pwede meron kang reference lang google. Yun sa akin hindi ako tumingin o naggoogle para malaman yung syntax fortunate ako na yung exam e alam ko yung syntax na gagamitin ko then nung pinasa ko na yung gawa ko sinabi sa akin na pwede tumingin ng syntax wag lang yung logic.

Ayun lang pre good luck. Hello World!

a.) wag kang maniwala dun sa 1 - 2 years experience requirement, nawawaive yan, pero kung tipong hindi na entry level or 5 years above experience na, yun yung serious requirement na talaga. pero yung mga 1 - 2, pwedeng applyan ng newbie yun, siguraduhin lang na may skills ka na hinahanap nila.

b.) hindi sila magrerequire ng exact code kung system, usually kung backend dev ka, idea lang nung kelangan mo para bumuo ng system plus pseudocode kung specific talaga yung problem.

heads up lang, may mga company na flawed ang recruitment process, i.e. wala dapat bagsak kahit isa, regardless kung galing kang ATENEO or STI, magtanong ka na muna sa nagtake na dun sa aapplyan mo kung may ganung klaseng reqt para din hindi masayang oras mo hehe

Good Luck!

dagdag ko na rin pala, kung may magrerequire sa yo ng exact syntax, wag ka na umasang mag eenjoy ka sa company na yun haha ehem, Azeus

[Valvatorez]

So 1-2 years of experience is like an entry level at all?
Yep pag up to 5 years exp ang nirequire sigurado hindi bagito ang kelangan nila.

Kapag wala ako nahanap na job as developer siguro IT Staff for a while then gawin ko na lang sideline yun.
Pakiramdam ko kasi hindi ako fit mag Tech Support because of poor oral communication skills. 

dagdag ko na rin pala, kung may magrerequire sa yo ng exact syntax, wag ka na umasang mag eenjoy ka sa company na yun haha ehem, Azeus

Dahil sobrang strict ng policy nila sa company na yun at need ng super professionals? LOL. No idea. Why?

oo, pwede ka magtry pag 1-2 years experience lang hanap nila

yep, super professionals nga, as in kung hindi ka katulad nila, siguro weeks lang tatagal mo bago ka magresign or makick out, chinese kadalasan may ari ng mga ganitong company

Okay thanks bro sa tips, iwas iwas din siguro ako dyan sa mga chinese owners. Gonna get my ass on searching jobs na. Nahirapan ako mag-move on dahil sa depression ko last year.

[pikapika2501]

hmm, sorry for this short reply.

mostly pag entry level, pinag eexam nila ng common h.r. exams, like logic, math, etc. bihirang may english. then meron silang chinecheck na iq level. decent iq level.

then, interview. they're checking if you're fit enough in the working environment, you're not hard to handle, and you're willing to learn.

...here comes the requirement like paper works and medical thing. then you're in welcome to the training grounds. makinig kang mabuti sa training, mag practice kang mabuti sa arts nang language na ituturo, e perform and advance reading, then huwalaah you're a training grad na for your Programing language. awaiting for billability or mapunta sa project.

Pm me if you want, i can send your resume. i might be able to help.

Necromancer here, currently I have a job now but unfortunately not in web development career, but I'm still rooting for it and in fact may i-pupublish ako na website which will be a "charity work" because the client is my sister and her band. LOL.

 

The problem is where to put the website now, pwede bang free web hosting sites na lang (000webhost , ueuo.com for example)? Its a hard coded one as well as my unpublished web portfolio.

Sabi din ng iba kong kakilala, I must pick a CMS like drupal or wordpress to become marketable. Uhmm why? 
Nag-apply ako to some companies but they require knowledge in C# or other programming language, I know some pero hindi ko siya naging forte talaga. Kaya I end up taking a different job but not happy on it. 


@pikapika2501: I'm sorry ngayon ko lang nahalungkat itong post ko. Haha. But thanks so much for your offer.

Kung di dynamic ang webpage na ipupublish mo, I think you shouldn't bother with a portfolio.. or kung insistent ka, web design na lang habulin mo, mostly walang coding dun.

Yan kasi yung rapid development platforms, fast development == fast income. hindi mo na kelangan magstart from scratch dahil sangkatutak ang templates / plugins.

Yung programming skills, kailangan talaga yun, hindi mo matatawag sarili mo na web developer kung hindi ka makakapagproduce ng DYNAMIC webpages, yung mga ang pinapagamit eh CMS eh mga short term projects yan, for long term development projects, malamang mostly coding na ang kailangan at spcialized IO na rin.
