Gaby has a 3-month internship that might lead to a junior frontend position. She started coding in June 2021.
She says: โBefore getting this internship, I would apply to 20-30 jobs weekly. Persistence is key. The jobs are there, the difficult part is finding them. Never give up!โ
Congrats to Honey G on landing a job for a company in Singapore!
Abraham has a new job as a frontend developer just one year and two months after starting coding and after spending many sleepless nights fixing bugs ๐

Carlos has a job as a full stack developer with an Israeli start-up! It was a big interview process consisting of weekly interviews for a month and take-home challenges.
Interestingly, Carlos already had backend knowledge, and came to Scrimba to add frontend to his repertoire! Great stuff Carlos! Lots of fun to be had with a start-up!

Artem has a job as a junior frontend developer! He says that because of the war in Ukraine, it is hard to get a job, especially when there are only 10 job openings and 300 candidates per job! Congrats Artem! ๐ฅณ
Artem says he loved Bobโs React course - and will be working with React and React Native in this new role โ๏ธ

Ulla is proof that you don't need to learn to code from childhood. Exactly one year ago, she quit her job as a medical doctor. She says: "At that moment I still had no clue what to do next. However, I did know I wanted to do something totally different."
โRead on for Ulla's motivational story!

Meet Wemerson Queiroz ๐ง๐ท! Wemerson never thought he was going to become a developer. He started studying computer science, dropped out, and spent ten years working in sales because he wanted to earn money immediately.
Realizing he was unhappy (after all, money is not everything), he learned to code and got his first developer job in no time!
In this podcast episode, you'll learn how far HTML, CSS, and Javascript can get you and how important it is to follow your passion. You'll also hear about Wemerson's unusual interview process and why taking a chance sometimes pays off.
Leanne was joined on YouTube this week by Scrimba tutor Tom ๐
They cooked up an image filter app, and looked at:
๐ป How to create filter buttons
๐ป Allowing the user to upload images
๐ป Allowing the user to create their own filter
๐ป Letting the user download/share their filtered images ๐
โWatch the stream to find out how they did! ๐ธ
Whenever Scrimba is approached by a company wanting to hire a frontend developer, we post these opportunities to our Discord #๐ทjobs board.
