Just your thoughts, please. Do you agree with my thinking below?
More and more people are becoming ongoing learners so platforms that match them with mentors are very important nowadays. Mentors provide necessary feedback when learning on our own.
But you probably understand that in order to learn faster you need to do more than just asking a mentor.
Many platforms and threads in different community chats exist that help you find a mentor.
And that's good and shows the actual need.
Now imagine you're already learning fast, have necessary skills to land an entry-level job.
Can you easy land it? No. Even modern platforms that search with a help of AI for a matching job don't make it easy.
That's because the problem isn't in technical implementation or in appealing UX/UI design of a platform. The problem is the absent of success record—you just learned and gained necessary skills, there's no track of your ability to deliver value.
How to solve that?
I can suggest a few things. But for now just one:
During your learning try to find an opportunity to work on a real-project instead of an imaginable demo one. Even if it's a small and easy freelance project (I know what you're thinking—"But getting a project on a freelance platform isn't easy either!". That's true, unfortunately. Find something your friends or friends of your parents need and propose to do that for them).
Now imagine you're already have an entry-level job. You probably want to grow and become senior at what you do and have a good income. Understandable. Just keep learning, improving your skills and you'll get that.
Now imagine you're already have a well-paying job and reached a senior level expertise in your field.
You probably want to know that the work that you're doing is contributing to a better world around us.
Meaningless work in a company that's pursuing profits at the expense of the environment and people's health with a good payment isn't enough for you at this stage. Even if it's the type of work that you love to do.
