Get a job

Question

Helloo everyone. I’m writing this post because I have been looking for a job as a junior backend developer and unfortunately I wasn’t accepted. I just wanted to know where do you recommend me to start and how do I start making experience?

Answer 1

Hi! Continue your learning here. Take courses in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WEB development, Python and PHP

Backend — anything that runs on a server, i.e. "not in a browser" or "on a computer connected to a network (usually the Internet) that responds to messages from other computers".
For the backend, you can use any tools available on your server (which is essentially just a computer configured to respond to messages). This means that you can use any universal programming language: Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, JavaScript / Node, bash. This also means that you can use database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, Memcached.

Hey, don’t feel bad—everyone struggles with the first job search 💪. A few ways to start building experience:
Personal projects → build small apps (like a blog API or todo list) and share them on GitHub.
Contribute to open-source → even fixing small issues helps you practice teamwork.
Freelancing / volunteering → take on small real-world tasks for local groups or online.
And here on Sololearn, you can:
Practice consistently in the Code Playground
Share your projects for feedback
Join discussions to learn how others solve problems
That way you’re not just “learning,” you’re showing your skills—which is exactly what employers want
