Hi there all,
Im new to the forum and am looking for some advice or tips really. I am looking to do some courses within the computing industry but when you look at the jobs that are around they all want experience etc and certain types of knowledge in a given area.
What I'm trying to work out is how would you get that experience if say Im only just fresh out of completing an oracle database course etc? Same goes for say web developing or app developing. Is it a case of just practise practise and build up a portfolio etc.
Im 38 years of age need to know if it is worth investing time and money into these courses if most jobs are solely experience based as I dont seem to see many junior or trainee positions.
Thanks in advance for any help etc or criticism
