Best way to get a junior development job with an A.S. in CIS?
1 point by feybay on Feb 18, 2015 | hide | past | favorite
Hello everybody. I'm finishing up my A.S. degree at a CC in the US. I have all A's in my computer related classes (Basic Java, Advanced Java, Basic C++, Database Administration, Systems Analysis and Design) and a few B's in other non-computer classes. I have also learned AS3 and Haxe. I am creating a social media site in Ruby that will demonstrate knowledge of Rails[0], and have created a few games (some used XML and JSON) using said Haxe and AS3.

The above examples show that I am a capable learner. However, I'm not quite sure how to best approach putting together a portfolio and contact potential employers. I'm in NY right now but will most likely be moving to SC for a year at least.

I understand that this is a bit of an open ended question, but I would love advice what to do at this point (I graduate in the spring and will be moving out to SC in late July).

[0]I'm currently using a private repo on bitbucket and developing on Arch Linux.
