I'm junior level in front end, self-taught (~2k hours over ~1.8yrs). I wanted to try a job interview and see how I do, but I don't see any jobs.



I look on the big job sites(google jobs/indeed/glassdoor ect..) but they are all CV farming recruitment/consulting beginning with "my client..." or "outstanding opportunity" but no company name.



To try and be more clear, I feel like the job adverts that start with "my client.." are there to steal my identity info, and/or may be lying about the job, it puts me off applying.



Are the big job sites a way to get jobs or just an illusion. How would you recommend I find jobs to apply for/get interviews?

How would you recommend I find jobs to apply for/get interviews?




Some options that come to mind are:



  • Create and use a LinkedIn profile, so you can expose yourself to the professional workforce. There you may receive offers or well find places you may like to apply.


  • Attend to job fairs, where you can see what companies are out there and seeking to employ developers. Be sure to bring your CV or contact card with you.


  • Consider using StackOverflow Jobs. I haven't used it thoroughly, but I see it could also be an option for you to find dev jobs.


  • Ask your contacts and acquaintances if they know about any dev job they can redirect you to.
