From Intern to Developer: My Quest for a Full-Time Gig at 18

Hey everyone, I'm facing a battle cry – internship or junior developer role?
I've been coding for 5 years now (started young, right?), and I'm currently slaying the beast of a Software Engineering degree. My internship? It's been a valiant 1.5 years, but with the adult life just around the corner, I need to get a real dev job.

Operation: Level Up!

So, here's my 3-part battle plan to dominate the applicant pool:

  1. Website Relaunch: My portfolio is about to transform from a humble squire to a shining knight!
  2. CV Revamp: Time to polish that resume till it gleams like gold.
  3. Networking Blitz: Courses, events – you name it, I'm attending to build my developer fellowship!

My ultimate quest? Landing those sweet developer interviews (and hopefully the job!).

And if you have any tips, recommendations or wanna chat in general, let's connect! I'm eager to learn what I grasp from more experienced Engineers!

Stay tuned, because this is just the first chapter in my journey. I'll be documenting the whole thing, so you can follow along as I transform from intern to full-fledged developer!
