How LinkedIn helped Buse become a Junior Dev in London

<p><b><strong>🎙 About the episode</strong></b></p><p><strong>Meet Buse Hizarci 🇹🇷🇬🇧!</strong> She just got her first Junior Developer role in London. It’s one of the most competitive tech cities in the world, yet the recruiter came to <strong>her</strong> through LinkedIn. As an extroverted economics graduate, Buse wasn’t sure if coding was for her. After 5 unsuccessful interviews (and one shockingly rude interview experience, which you’ll hear about towards the end of the episode!), she eventually found success at a well-known company in the UK called Vision Direct. In this episode, you’ll learn how Buse utilised LinkedIn to find success and how she wowed her employers with the take-home task..</p><p><b><strong>🔗 Connect with Buse</strong></b></p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/buse-hizarci-258342111/">👨🏻‍💼 LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.busehizarci.com/">🌐 Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/BuseHizarci">👩‍🚀 GitHub</a></li> <li><a href="https://bhzrc.medium.com/">📝Medium</a></li> <li>🤖 Bhz#2497 on <a href="https://scrimba.com/podcast/christopher-went-from-photographer-to-developer-at-35/scrimba.com/discord">the Scrimba Discord</a> </li> </ul><p><b><strong>⏰ Timestamps</strong></b></p><ul> <li>Introduction (0:00)</li> <li>From economics graduate to developer (01:35)</li> <li>Why learning web development is great if you want a job  (03:43)</li> <li>How to make what you learn stick with projects (04:30)</li> <li>Building confidence through early job interviews (06:42)</li> <li>Buse’s best interview advice (08:17)</li> <li>Working as a contractor for experience before finding full-time work (10:32)</li> <li>A recruiter reached out to Buse!
