Stack Overflow Jobs

NOTE: Stack Overflow Jobs has been discontinued.

Your dream job awaits at Stack Overflow. Browse thousands of jobs by salary & tech stack. Personalized job matches. No recruiter spam. Your privacy, guaranteed.

I think https://www.linkedin.com/jobs, https://stackoverflow.com/jobs, and https://www.indeed.com are excellent places to browse jobs and see what kind of languages/requirements are in demand. I don't think you are "wasting" your time applying to jobs. Try to reach out to companies directly and/or provide a cover letter to let the employees know you are new to this so what can you learn what they want you to know in other to work there. For example, you found this cool company that wants to capture carbon from the air and they have a web developer position. I read what languages/tools/frameworks they want you to have experience and then go find that stuff on the above free software sites and learn it and build something with it. Show the employer you are serious about this.

Free Code Camp

Learn to code by helping nonprofits.

Regardless of your degree or background I would recommend utilizing as much free, online material as you can. I personally have not gone through any of these programs but I heard and seen good things about freecodecamp.org, codecademy.com, and https://www.theodinproject.com. The sites ask you what you want to learn and gives you a course to follow and get some exposure on what software engineering is all about. Some offer certificates and are valuable to show on your resume. Just as in the 2 or 4 year degrees above, these courses cannot teach you everything. But provide a specialized foundation of knowledge for free or very low cost.
