Has anybody landed a job in iOS from what they have learned with Treehouse if so how did you go about doing so ?

I was just wondering if anybody has managed to land a position in iOS development maybe as a junior developer with the skills learned with TreeHouse and if so how long were you learning before you were successful and at a stage where you were industry ready ?

Thanks James

Although I don't have a job or had any clients, I have had e-mails asking if I want a job for a company or for a client.

The first e-mail was a job request for a company that wanted me to work as an Objective-C developer.

This is when Swift 2 was available, so this shows a good reason to learn Obj-C if you want a job. The e-mail mentioned that they liked what they saw on my GitHub account, so that would be a good place to start: put projects / libraries / frameworks on GitHub

The reason I didn't qualify was because I am junior and not a senior developer.

The second e-mail was for a company that wanted a quote for how much I would charge for an app like one they had in mind.

Although I didn't get the job, it was encouraging to get an e-mail like that.

I started learning iOS development Aug 18, 2014.

Hope this helps!

I recently heard of a website called Upwork. You can sign up as a developer so you can bid on projects. I have not used it, but it is something to look into.
