Finding a job as a junior developer is not easy these days, especially when you are from a third-world country, but Juniors Should be Seniors Someday!

It's the story of me:

Real Job Experience

At some point, I think you should put all tutorials, YouTube videos, and personal project experiences into a real job and grow; otherwise, it's hard to be better. But how hard is it to get a good job?

Rejection

It's been month now that I'm sending multiple applications to companies hoping to get a chance and I get nothing but Rejection! So they tell me there were better candidates than me, and it's OK, but after more than 500 rejections, a question comes to mind: Am I that bad???

Junior Positions

There are way fewer junior positions than senior ones, or they want 3+ years of experience, but how the hell am I going to get 3+ years when I just graduated? I'm guessing the seniors have been seniors since they were born; unfortunately, no junior made it.

Third-World Theory

So I have a theory. Well,  it's actually not "Third-World Theory", it's more "Dictatorship Country Theory", well more "Terrorist Coun..." (if I got arrested, I was a good boy). I think most of them are rejecting me because of where I'm from. They open my application, see my country, and then boom... Reject!

Believe me, I had nothing to do with that; you can blame my parents, I hate this country more than you do; they took our youth, our lives, and... (enough already), and I need job experience so I could leave here as all the people are doing so.

I wish I was there when they opened my application to tell them, "Please at least take a look at my work!".

But as I mentioned in the header, it's just a theory; The truth is, I'm bad.

Discussion

I nagged a lot, and you may say, "Just be better instead of nagging" but I'm going through tough days, and at the end, I wanted to tell you to just have a little trust in us; We're not that bad (Yes we are).

The question is, What should junior developers do to land a job in your opinion?
