Video Description:
I answered an aspiring developer's question:

"Biggest roadblock is just getting people to talk to me. Almost straight out of bootcamp I landed a junior software engineering role at a small digital product studio. Worked there for 9 months before getting laid off. But now amidst all the layoffs I’m small, tiny fish in an enormous pond. Despite applying to 400+ places (almost anything I’m remotely qualified for) over the past 8 months. I’ve had one, a single, 10 minute phone interview. So the biggest hurdle is how to find and land that next role or even get someone to talk to!! Despite all this I continue to work on “pet” projects, continue to grow my learning and have managed to land a freelance development gig! Keep on keepin’ on. It’ll happen!!"
