Ruby Inside published a post by John Philip Green: 11 tips to hire a rails developer (11 tips on hiring a rails Developer). In fact, from another perspective, these skills also apply to people who want to work with rails.
The author first explains why it is difficult to find a rails job (it is difficult to hire a rails Developer ):
- Very few companies are using rails, but you should be lucky because you are ahead of the trend.
- Work experience is always one of the most important items in your resume, but. NET and Java experience often does not play a plus role in your resume.
- The labor-intensive IT industry in China is mainly used to extend employees' working hours to obtain surplus value. Therefore, it is difficult for you to invest a lot of leisure time in learning new technologies.
The following are specific suggestions (variant edition ):
- Do not go to chinacili.com, or worry-free in the future. There is no job you want. You should go to the places that rails cxo often go to, such as railscn, chinaonrails, and javaeye. Or Google, those companies are hiring rails programmers and directly submitting resumes to them.
- Get to know as many rails developers as possible and let them recommend you to their company
- You can't just hear the Ruby on Rails word, or just enter the awdwr example code to submit your resume, you should at least create a project in the real world. In this way, you will find that you are faced with more than one choice in many links. You need to understand the disadvantages and disadvantages of each choice.
- Participate in some open-source projects, or write a small plug-in or something.
- A rails blog is indispensable. It is very important that you have learned something from others' blogs, so you should share what you have mastered with everyone, of course, more importantly, through your blog, recruiters can fully understand your capabilities.
- Education is not important at all. I don't have to hesitate between my postgraduate entrance exam and job search. I graduated from high school. Although mixed education is not enough to serve as a positive example, it is still a good job, at least education is no longer as important as before.
- In addition to Ruby and rails, you should master as many other related technologies as possible, such as databases, JS, and Unix shells.
- However, if you are superstitious about a Star Company, a famous company may not be good. Finding the one that best suits you (the one that best suits your abilities) is the key.
- Perseverance, as long as you have a position of interest, how can I send an email?
- Participate in community activities, such as Shanghai on rails
- If the salary offered by many companies cannot satisfy you, you may wish to lower your expectations and accumulate some experience first. But I believe that if you have done the above, the probability of this occurrence is 0.
Finally, I wish you success & thank you!
