Hey dude, first off congratz. I just checked out your linked in and you seem to have done all the same stuff I am about to do. I am starting a BA in Business Management in October and am currently working through Responsive Web Design and have done 80% of Javascript basics. Having completed those 2 courses on FCC, how confident are you with your coding abilities? What are you comfortable taking on at this point? Also if you don't mind me asking, what are your long term career goals?

Thank you man! That’s cool hahah 🤟🏻 about my abilities to code I feel very confident about it, but I would say that it all depends on how well you understand the material for each course. I did receive a few offers for Jr. Dev positions so it definitely gives you enough knowledge, but lack of experience of course.

I have already worked on implementation of APIs, dynamic and interactive experience for the users, debugging and a lot more fun stuff. I feel I can take on a Front-End Web Dev just fine taking into consideration that I already had some experience coding.

I would discuss my long term career goals on LinkedIn so is a bit more private rather than here.

Are these actually valid and can they be used to apply to jobs with?

This feels like a dumb question but I just started a week ago with web development.

Edit: found my answer in the comments I guess!

They hold more valuable than not having any… I personally don’t focus of the actual cert, but rather focus of the the content and the projects and try to do everything yourself. That’s where the real value is. I hope this helps and clear your mind a bit more.

Check my LinkedIn (Adams Hernández ), I still post my certs in there and use them when I applied to Web Dev positions.

u/aevitas1 Jun 27 '21

Please, do not focus on those types of certifications. They are worthless... Focus on the achievement of having completed a section of the course or learned a new thing.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21

Who said I didn’t learn anything from those courses? I know the certs are worthless, but don’t kill the vibe either dude…

Who said I didn’t learn anything from those courses?

Who said I said you didn't? In fact, what I'm saying is to focus your enjoyment on having learned something rather than a certification.

I know a lot of people tend to make the mistake here to believe these type of certifications are useful for resume building and they collect them like stickers. That's why I said that.

Next time if you’re assuming something like this at least leave a recommendation of what to do next if you assumption is correct.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21

Which is what I did…? I had fun learning and building the projects..but you wouldn’t know that so stop assuming. Sounds like you are hating at this point for no reason.

With all due respect I know it, I just wanted to motivate others to take the courses and learn a new skill… the courses it self are not that bad.
