So I got some exciting news.... I met someone at work about a month or so ago that has a Shopify website, and they hit me up TODAY to ask if I wanted to work! I'm super excited for the opportunity so I'm going to do a quick review on @codingphase for a quick reference!

They also want me to see if I can do Email management and product creation for their site! So glad I'm finally getting an opportunity

I'm angry with myself. I've been saying year after year that I wanna get at least an entry level job, then a mixture of imposter syndrome and depression decides to slam the door in my face, therefore making me feel like I'm worthless. I don't care how unprofessional this may post

Turn out to be, but I really needed to let this out of my system. It also threw me into tutorial purgatory time and time again which is incredibly frustrating

So I know I haven't been active on this account for who KNOWS how long, but I have an update on my journey: I fell off on learning again. My life always seems to take a spiral when I'm on a roll with learning, building my portfolio and trying to spruce up my resume (1/??)

Then something happens that throws off my learning curve and then I wind up not going back at it for months.... I'm at a loss with myself, I feel like an absolute failure

Almost done rebuilding my resume to start job hunting. Any tips of catering your resume for a career transition that is for one that has a retail/fast food background?

So I guess I should re-introduce myself since I haven't posted in a LONG time! Hi there, my name is Richard! I'm teaching myself web development over on @codingphase. Particularly, I'm learning HTML Email and Content Editing, I'll post where else to find me in the near future :)

A lot of influencers make it sound like landing a job at a FAANG company is everyone's end goal. It's fine if it is, but there are many other things you could do. Especially if you have that entrepreneurial spirit. Working for yourself or starting your own company IS possible

What gives fear to those who are self-teaching themselves how to code, doesn't matter what it is, web development, game development, etc., is the job hunting. Thinking that they are not good enough, that because they don't have a degree they won't get a job. Breathe, keep going

The thing that I have been learning is:
- You don't NEED to learn every technology under the sun. Just ones that you need to get the job done
- Don't beat yourself up. You're doing the best that you can
- Don't compare yourself to anyone else

Went into the HTML/CSS workshop hosted by Karen from the @codingphase team tonight. Got a lot of insight from the HTML Email that I have built and working on fixing it right now. These super small things that I'm doing have made the email look SO much better!

Things that I've gotten done this week:
- Closing up on a landing page project for my portfolio, all that's needed is the footer, media queries, and then final adjustments
- Starting to open up my Fiverr and Etsy accounts for freelancing
- Edit some of my portfolio
