some PHP job hunting advice?
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 8:44 am
Hi everybody,
I'm new in the world of PHP and I want to ask the following: what do you think is an acceptable level of knowledge of the language that can make me confident in starting looking for a job as a PHP programmer? I have mainly used C/C++ and Common Lisp in the past, but I'm having difficulties to persuade any possible employer that I can code in PHP with no previous experience (obviously eh?). So, I was thinking about completing a task or small project on my own that can make clear my abilities in coding. Any suggestions or ideas would be really helpful for me.
Also, since most of the employers are looking for knowledge not only of PHP but other languages as well like JavaScript, a task or project that combines PHP with other skills could be even better.
