Come on! You have been doing this for how long? From 2014? It's 2017, but you state in your videos you have over 5years of professional experience, and started doing this since you were 14?

In other post you stated you are a 'Junior Programmer' a year or two ago. But in the videos, you say other things.

I mean, great work... but that is lying, is it? Nothing against, I know where your coming from, however people are going to find it out, especially when we have internet archive and people will be able to access this, even if you delete all your posts.

I mean, come on. You lost all my credibility for sure. Id be happy to take your course if you were honest... but man.

The good old post you say? You just changed it.

Man. You know this post is in the archive?

Man, it smells bad, very very very bad.

Now you changed it to 'Good old post'. Really?

Freelancing does count as professional experience.

He never said he did this....

Plus why did he just sudently deleted his good old post.

He doesn't have the exp he claims.

But that doesn't matter and who cares now.

He will fall on his own weight.

But best of luck for him.

Woah dude that sucks! Man I took Comp-Sci in college and there was a lot of theoretical stuff like Big Oh notation and Probability theory, etc...confused the heck out of me so I went to business school. That's the plain truth. I suppose that's besides the point.

I think of job-seeking like meeting women (or men, or whatever you're attracted to). I hit on SO many women. Some of them don't give me the time of day. Some of them give me five minutes. Some of them I get a day (night) with. Only very very few of them turn into relationships.

Getting a job is the same way. Some employers don't give the time of day. Some of them give an interview. Some of them give you a second interview. Only very very few employers will give you a job.

So when I'm looking for work I just get out there and meet and talk to anyone who will listen who has a job to offer. Eventually something works out.

Think of it like they saw your portfolio, they saw your past jobs, they saw your resume and they thought "hey, this guy could be a fit for our Senior position." That's not too shabby lol.

joe santos garcia on Mar 19, 2015 yea bro thats what I said too once I got home, and whats crazy I got an email 20 minutes ago from a company that wants me to go in for another interview so i guess that first job was not meant to be you know.

I felt stupid though because if i would of known it was a senior position I would of never went and also is kinda their fault too because they looked at my past jobs, resume, portfolio. So they know what I'm capable of... I just never thought I would have to be explaining terms like whats object? or what are services in angularJS.... lol like really!!! Just give me a design I can build it for you pixel perfect.. but nooooooo you want me to explain things...

Their "position mix-up" would have frustrated me too, but Peter last post is dead-on, Joe. With your portfolio speaking volumes for you, once you nail down the detail, you'll ace any interview out there!

I feel you bro. Just happened similar experience to me last week when I had an interview for Web Developer position in Saudi Arabia .

It was really depressing experience. I was caught off guard on an examination type interview. I don't even had the chance to tell the HR officer to tell him a bit about myself - how I work, my typical work day on recent job, my career goals (typical questions).

The interview was happened via Skype. After a super brief introduction, the conversation was followed immediately and shifted into an oral type examination. I looked really dumb of what happened! I was expecting they would give me a project for a test. LoL.

Glad you shared your experience and thanks for sharing the link.
