In times where the to break into the competitive software development realm seems too difficult for young graduate, I will walk through how I started 3 years ago. Please bear in mind that this route, are for college graduate.
- First, during your college years do not be in haste to graduate without experience. I see college students just want to run their college years and then hit reality, when 2 years after university, they are still searching for that one professional job. I will advise you take a year out for placement and get that work experience in workplace that involves software development. If you get lucky, your placement workplace could hire you permanently after placement year is over.
- Get a temporary work experience during summer breaks, all these exeperiences makes programming look like a second language to you, and when you graduate any employer out there that goes through your CV, would see the serious and ability in your to work (no employer wants a bench warmer in their workplace).
