How to start a career with Python?

Question

How would someone with no prior experience, but some education in python start a career?

Answer 1

Learn more Python, as suggested. But here’s how to get a job to start your career: 1. A portfolio: This is to show off your previous works and give a little information about yourself so employers know who they’re hiring and are able to trust that you are skilled and able to meet or even go beyond their expectations. 2. Decide how you want to work: You can either find a company or put yourself out there on the internet to be freely hired by anyone looking for a Python programmer for a usually quick and short-term job with one-time pay. 3. Finding work: For going the company route - Search your local yellow pages, job sites (Glassdoor, Indeed, etc.), classifieds, and other sources of job advertisements to look for who may be hiring nearby to where you can commute to and from your home everyday. For going the internet route - Find a site to advertise yourself for jobs (Make a website for it, use Fivver, etc.) and sell your skills to do quick jobs for set prices.

That is basically it. Though there is more to each route, I will not be able to cover all of it because too much happens in each job process. Besides, it’s good to learn with experience!

Good luck!

Answer 3

What I would suggest is just start off with the basics, preferably on Sololearn as it is great for that. Once you get a good understanding of it, figure out where you want to go with it. Python is such a popular language mainly because of how open it is, so there are a lot of applications for it. Some of the more prominent ones include web development, game development, and even in science (it can be used in a lot of fields). Once you figure out what you want to do, try to learn absolutely everything you can about it and just master that one specific area. By doing so, I'm sure it would be easier to find jobs with Python.
