Trecia
Meet Trecia Kat 🇿🇦!
Trecia is a new developer from South Africa who originally wanted to work in healthcare. She eventually decided to study IT, but she dropped out of college when it turned out that online resources were better! Today she's a front-end developer. She got her feet wet in the world of Developer Advocacy, she beat her social anxiety, and she even spoke at a conference!
In this episode, you'll learn why passion doesn't mean you'll be great at something - and how to recognize what you can actually be great at. Trecia tells us how she learned to code, overcame her fear of interacting with people she doesn't know, and landed her first developer job.
Twitter was essential for Trecia's journey - she will teach you how to use it to get out of your comfort zone and what Tech Twitter tropes to ignore. You will also hear about Trecia's DevRel internship at Strapi and how she ended up speaking at a conference by trying not to speak at a conference.
El

Darrell
This is great news, Darrell! You have done very well considering that you have yet to finish your course. We hope to continue to see your presence in your Scrimba Discord community 🏆
Aleksandr
Though he did not land a paying job, Aleksandr did manage to receive an unpaid internship.
Use this time as productively as the time that you have spent learning to code and the money will follow 🤑
Sejo
Building projects and staying active proves fruitful as Sejo finally landed the interview that got him an offer. Perseverance was key to his success as he pushed passed quitting and onto success! 💰
John
We are really happy to hear of your success and the motivation it took to land your internship 🎆
Matheus
Meet Matheus Pessoa 🇧🇷!
Matheus is a recently hired new developer who landed his first junior developer job after only about a year of learning to code. To make this story even more awesome, the CTO of the company he now works at reached out to him!
In this episode, you'll hear how Matheus approached learning to code with ADHD, how he chose front-end development as a career that blends his different interests, and how he ultimately landed his first dev job. You'll learn what's important when applying for jobs at startups (hint: it's not necessarily your tech knowledge, especially if you're a junior), whether you can apply for a position involving something you haven't learned yet, and how not to get stuck if everybody on your team is super young.
