How hard is it to get a entry job?

For python web developer, once i complete like the techdegree more or less , all that python and dajango, then HTTP and some flask and JSON. What are the chances of getting a entry level python developer job? Like i know i CAN get the job with those skills, but if i continue to build projects outside of treehouse, how hard is it exactly to land a job? Like 1 in a billion? Or do i have a fair chance at landing the job of I'm highly motivated and want to learn as much as i can and i am passionate about coding?

Thanks for any help, this has been bothering me for months...

if you put your mind to it and get better and learn everyday anything is possible. Although it's only hard if you make it hard.

Yes, you have a good chance of getting a job with the skills in the Techdegree. We wrote them specifically to what you would need to know as a Junior Developer.

You may want to check out the job listings at a site like https://www.jrdevjobs.com/ to see what kind of skills they are looking for.

Thank you that was helpful! That job site didn't have any jobs relating to python, why would that be? Thanks Jason

Sorry, I didn't check the site first! I don't know. Job boards tend to specialize, so if they don't have any current ads for python jobs, no one with a python job will list there. If you are a TD student, you can ask on the python slack channel where other folks are looking for jobs.
