Epic Web Developer Portfolio Review This Will Make You A Professional

have you ever wonder why people are not calling you back after you apply to a job well today we have something special for you guys today we have two portfolio reviews and their two portfolios are a lot different than each other but both people are on a similar level of experience okay now we're gonna get started and I want you guys to stay tuned with me okay this is gonna be very interesting so we're gonna start this off by checking out a comment that we received by your boy Nate and Nate said in one of my videos which is what does it take to get higher as a web developer in one month okay and in that video I was talking about what does it take for you to get higher right away with just the basics that you already know okay and pretty much I talked about you know your portfolio pretty much going out there and applying and making sure that you understand that you don't need to know everything to be able to get higher you could get higher with just the basics so Nate it's like I don't know I don't think so Joe that goes like I love your content Joe but I don't believe one month is realistic to get higher I've been applying to jobs with nearly no calls back for three months maybe I need a portfolio slash project review lol and then he gave me the URL to his portfolio now mind you his portfolio look even way different than how it looks now okay and it looked different not in a good way in a bad way okay so I guess he decided after he posted this up he's like hold on Joe's about to do a review on my portfolio let me try to fix it up a little bit okay he did some changes so let's get into his portfolio okay the way how we got to do this is we're gonna look at his portfolio and we're gonna look at another student who actually sent me this portfolio that they created okay another subscriber we click here so this is Nathan's portfolio okay this is how it looks alright okay it looks okay it's not bad it's not great okay child tonight you know I love you dude I don't know anybody I love you everybody who comes in and sends me their portfolios and wants to grow okay because that's what's important they want to get better and they want to figure out how they can improve it okay so we're gonna look at Nathan and then now we're gonna look at Daniel's so this is Daniel Montoya's portfolio he also sent me this to my gmail if you guys have a portfolio make sure you send it to me coding phase at gmail.com and by the way if you're watching this right now currently guys subscribe and hit the notification bell click on all my videos notifications like right there at the bottom subscribe hit the little bell do that trust me this is literally the best youtube channel to learn in and to make sure that you get jobs and get money Debrett blue cheese okay so let's get to it so this is Danny Montoya's portfolio pretty simple a very minimal okay okay it looks good you know I like it definitely I feel like is is good right but I just wish there was a couple of changes and we'll get into that in a little bit okay first what we're gonna do is we're gonna go into each project we're gonna go one by one on each project I'm gonna check out maintenance project and then I'm gonna check out Daniels project okay now we're not comparing both of their portfolios they're at a similar level right as far as like the skills that they have but I want you guys to take a closer look okay yeah what you guys to understand the difference between this portfolio in this other portfolio okay and we're gonna talk about it at the end but let's get to it so this is the first project that he has okay Facebook okay number one this should go to a application or displaying something sending it directly to your github it's not gonna do anybody any favors cuz nobody's gonna go through your code I'm telling you ahead of time nobody goes through anybody code okay so we're gonna skip that one there from here we got this other project Mars weather report okay it looks okay alright so we're looking at this first project that he has let's go back okay and let's go to Daniels project his first project this is called specialized okay this is how it looks looks cool cuz it's it takes you to a page where he has different images he explains what he did on this project right so automatically you can start telling like this is a big difference between this portfolio right in this one okay this one has a page dedicated to that one project where Danny was actually explaining the different things that he did he's showing you how it looks on on desktop on on a you know laptop on and tablet a phone right so he's showing you how it looks mobile right he's giving you all of this information without even checking out the project right so we haven't even gone to the project but we could see okay that he has put in a lot of work into it now we click on the website okay and we look at this website and we see all the images he has now I know some people might say I'm not a designer I don't know how to make websites like this I don't know how to do listen that guy's you don't need to be a designer you could go to dribble comm you can go to be hands to go go to all those websites that's out there and recreate the designs that people have there right of course you're not gonna sell those designs so you're not really breaking any laws but you can use it to show an employer or a future employer like hey this is the type of websites that I can build for you you give me an amazing design I can build it for you okay now it's a big difference from seeing something like this right so he says he did this with reaction yes etc and if we clicking here like this looks like a website from you know 1999 right we're in to Dow in 19 but to be 2020 okay anybody is about to hire you they look at this and mine this looks like a school project right this looks like somebody who just started okay so there's a huge difference from this then to having something like this when I got a fully functional website and he actually put in the time to do all the different sections look how nice and crisp the the footer looks right all the spacing looks good right okay spacing here spacing down here okay everything flows really good and if I click here I go to bikes it takes me to a bike section if I click on trail takes me to a trail section downhill takes me to the Donna little page okay click here and inside specialized is like an about page okay like this is like a real website grain this is like a real website that this guy created now anybody that's watching this could see damn this guy's out of you know he's out of here he's good that's it but it's not really that he's good it's just that he's presenting himself as a professional so that's the difference so going back to your comment you know Nate write this Nate says hey he loves my content but still you you like my content you listen to what I tell you but you're now applying it right you have to start creating portfolio that's gonna make you look like a professional so far if somebody sends me email with a portfolio and it has this one and then it has another email with a portfolio and it has this portfolio here just off the RIP I'm jumping on this guy right I'm jumping on this guy and say hey we gotta get in contact with this guy okay so going back to your comment Nate this is why he spent three months you haven't found a job right and people are not calling you back you're not presenting yourself as a professional currently right now you're looking like you're just starting to learn how to code okay if you have three months already trying to apply you need to start looking at portfolio and say how can I improve this really there's a lot of things here that they're a little bit off that you can do like I look at this project here okay this one's not bad okay a pretty simple website okay but as you can see like look at this like this is just the little things right the spacing of this why is this buying right next to the text area right why is this here like this like you're not putting in the time to make yourself look like a professional and that's why you're not getting those calls back it's not that what I come in here and I create a video say hey man you can get higher in a month right it's not that it's not possible it's possible but you have to understand why is it possible you need to put yourself out there and apply to all these jobs will present yourself as a pro okay it doesn't matter if you just started yesterday or you starting a year ago there's guys to have portfolios that is that the same blood was yours and they've been here for two years three years right now this kid I don't know how long Daniel has been around okay let me see if I can figure out for his email who said this is what he said Daniel he said hey Joel of your channel was a junior developer I guess so much from your channel I greatly appreciate what you do for the space I recently finished my portfolio would love to get your opinion possibly even have your reviewer and your channel before I start applying so he hasn't even started applying he's just early stages right before he would start applying but look at the level that he's bringing into the table okay so that's what's gonna get him higher like that okay so you gotta understand that okay and this is not me comparing the skills that Danny my half and the skills that Nate might have because you're both on the same level but the thing that makes a difference is how you're presenting yourself think about it like this there's a guy that shows up that's a great developer ray or great employee right let's say you anybody right a guy shows up with a wrinkled shirt right he has $50 Jackie rain and he has a $10 tie okay now another guy shows up they went to the same school they got to the same level they're in the same grade they got the same level where everything is the same okay there's no difference the comforter from the same place they live on the same block they live in the same house let's just say right guy comes in wrinkled shirt you know a $50 Jackie $10 a frickin tie and then comes in the other guy he spent some money into his suit right $800 suit you know comes in everything iron everything nice and neat who do you think is gonna get the job the guy with the wrinkled shirt who's ironing out his his resume and go like this cuz the the corner of the resume is is like this folded up he's like hold on I mean let me give it to you nice and smooth right or the guy is gonna give him a resume that's gonna be you know in a folder nice neat here sir right it's a big difference right and this is what's happening here yeah both have the same skills but one of you guys is putting in more time into the details to make sure that this person says this guy's ready for prime time okay yeah both on the same level I want to put this out there yeah both on the same level but one of you guys is actually putting in more time to make sure that each project that's in your portfolio is something that you can be proud of and something that somebody could look at and say we could hire this guy tomorrow okay now once again you don't have to be a designer you don't have to know about design it's about presenting yourself even if you if you didn't have let's say any projects or ideas on what to create literally go into any website that you might like great and pretty much rebuild it from scratch right if you like Facebook rebuild Facebook if you like I don't know IGN dot-com rebill ign.com and put those websites into your portfolio and say I built all of this right yes they're not real clients of yours but you're showing the level of a professionalism that you have that you can build those type of websites okay and that's what people care about okay if I see a website that you know little things like this anybody could say hey man this guy has never worked at a company or this is not a real website because they can tell that just by Q way you know this you know this is a group of people that do look you way when they go to the websites and they start looking at the website say the spacing here is off hey the techs ears off hey this text should be smaller hey this icons right here should be a little bit smaller right little things like that will make you look way better right and that's what happens at a company right so if you have those type of projects like that that make you look like an OG like a professional even though you only have one month of experience right it makes a huge difference okay so we're gonna go to another project from from dead right so we can look into another we did this one from Nathan let's look guys something else from Starke from dad it started it says it's called start click on the website okay nice looks nice and clean pretty simple and nothing crazy right you know this is not like nothing crazy where you say oh wow like you know this is something you know completely different or difficult to make this is a very simple website but what you can see here is secrecy even the animations is a certain level that this kit has right and look at the footer right it's nice so real website okay guys it's a real website right here this is something that I will say okay if I was gonna hire somebody I will be comfortable to hire this kid dad okay and I would love for Daniel if you want Daniel we could do a interview if you have some time cuz I I feel like a lot of people will look at your website and be like this guy's been coding since 1999 this guy he's not a junior developer and people understand it's not that you might not have you know one month two months into this but it's really more about how you present yourself and the type of projects that you're building like so far we haven't seen anything crazy like so far we haven't seen like how some people were like well this website is not built with react this website is not built with you know view J yes and the latest ingredients of react Cookson it's not about that just by the work that he has already he could get hired okay he's showing a certain level of professionalism that you know he doesn't me react he doesn't need you know to have all of his projects not imagine the level that he got right now they imagine once he started putting in react once he started doing a lot of stuff it's a different ballgame kids okay so now we're looking again I mean this is another project that he has here like this reminds me straight up like Angel Fire you know back in the days if you don't know what Angel Fire is look it up you know Angel Fire websites now I'm I don't want to be this is not me bashing Nate I just want Nate to understand why he hasn't gotten a call back okay so angel fire this is classic I can't believe this website still up but yeah let's see in your file what pages click on images alright so by looking at this right this is websites from 1997 1998 and I'm looking at your work Nate right you're very close to 1998 right here okay very very close to 1998 okay now as you can see you are doing some JavaScript you add some stuff here like let's say right so you're working with some JavaScript so you you know things you rent you know how to program right but what's hurting you is how you're presenting yourself great and I know some of you guys might not know about the signs might not know about any other things right and if you don't know about design go to dribble comm you know getting concept what and see hey how can I work with you I would love to build one of your websites you can reach out to a designer and say hey man I'm gonna web developer I would love to build one of your websites hey if you have any clients let me reach out to you in and tell me hey let me let me build your websites for you right completely free just so you could build that rain you could build and you could have some really good websites on your portfolio or if not you could go to team forest right in forest and you know for those of you guys that feel like man I don't have a design that will make my portfolio look good guys buy a team come here and literally go to HTML click HTML click portfolio okay you know buy yourself a twenty dollar portfolio it's the best thing that you're gonna do you're gonna invest $20 you're gonna have a portfolio that looks really good you could come here you could tweak this change it how you want it right let's say for example demo creatives just clicking it comes with multiple different portfolios you could come here right it's very simple very easy you can build as yourself if you like right or you can just buy it from somebody I mean like I said you don't have to be a designer but you need to learn how to present yourself as a professional right and then do the projects when it comes to your projects you could come in and build your projects to websites that have already been created right just clone them and put it on your portfolio find restaurants you know in your neighborhood and build websites for them you know like guys you gotta you gotta start thinking with your brain right like this is a industry that's all about thinking logically okay this is not about just knowing how to code it's about a way of life a way of thinking in like literally it sounds stupid but it's using your brain okay if you don't have design skills raining you don't know how to build a website that's gonna look beautiful hire somebody right if you can come here and buy a portfolio from Team 4s calm and then focus on the projects right instead of focus on how your portfolio looks you just saved yourself so much time and you making yourself look like a professional right look at this ten dollars right now I'm not an affiliate looking for us maybe I should be but look like literally you come here let's say you don't have no time to build your own portfolio you take this thing right here right you buy for $10 you build your own portfolio and then now you focusing on the projects that you gotta build right instead of you focusing oh I gotta build my portfolio to look beautiful and this isn't that buy it it's $10 $20 stop being I'm gonna curse stop being freaking cheap man like it's straight-up stop being cheap I see people all the time be like yo y'all want to sign up to coding fees that combo wish it was cheaper bro it's $20 you get all the programming courses for 20 bucks 20 bucks everything that you need to learn learn how to build websites learn how to do all this stuff right learn how to build websites the same way how this kid Daniel knows how to make websites like this this is the type of websites that we build like we build real websites like we don't come in and start building like little to-do apps just to do them we build real websites for a reason so you could look like a professional and you could really step your game up okay now once again like I said we're not gonna go into every single project we can already tell you know the differences between the projects that Nate has and Daniel has and this is not a comparison of their skills I want you guys to understand that this is not comparing their skills they're pretty much at the same level the only difference is how you present yourself Daniel is presenting himself as a professional somebody that's ready to work for any company okay Nate right now he has three months applying for jobs but there's a reason why he can't get a job right and because his portfolio looks like this this is the type of work that he has he knows job scrip he knows how to do all this look he knows how to work with the API and set all that stuff up you gotta say like there's a lot of stuff that he knows he knows react he knows he see my CSS but why he's not getting hired he's not present to himself as a professional okay look at this all of the stuff is its programming okay although this stuff is is programming in here okay I don't even think that that daniel has any others set up on his portfolio I could be wrong right but from what I'm seeing like he doesn't even have that much you know stuff in JavaScript right but what he's doing is that as he's learning he's making sure everything looks good and looks at a level that people's gonna be like I want this kid right people hire people just because of the the attention to details you you guys ever been to an interview and they always say we care about somebody's attention to details this is why ok little things like this makes a company feel comfortable in hiring this person Oh guys every single thing that we just talked about I teach you guys on Conan face comm if you haven't tried coding phase comm guys stop slacking go to coding phase comm learn how to code but not just learn how to code because you can learn how to coding every platform out here but there's very few platforms that's gonna teach you everything that you need to be ready for the job and get higher ASAP okay now once again if you come in here and you take advantage of everything that I tell you and I give you you're pretty much getting for 20 bucks all of my programming courses okay pretty much all of the programming courses everything that you need to get a job ASAP without wasting time without giving you the history of JavaScript I don't need to give you an introduction of why JavaScript was created why this isn't it literally could do a simple google search on that what you need me to do is teach you how to build websites how to build web applications how to build full stack applications and build them in a way that is efficient and at the same time looks good to make sure that you get hired and you can demonstrate your skills okay so once again guys take advantage go to Coney face comm and right now if you go and sign up I'm going to give you a coupon code on the description below which is gonna save you a lot of money you're pretty much gonna pay seven dollars on your first month okay just so you could try it out so if you was thinking about hey man I don't know if I want to try this out and you're scared of twenty dollars right it's the same people that that be scared to go in and buy themselves a beautiful portfolium like oh my god I gotta spend nine dollars guys if you're living in that world you're gonna lose out here okay because you know the guy that comes here and buys up a portfolio it's like the guy that's that's taking steroids right and comes in and does 200 home runs in a year and baseball right if you over here trying to compete with that guy that's actually taking steroids that you're gonna lose it's the same thing right so go ahead and spend the money is nine dollars if you want to buy a freaking you know a freaking portfolio on tear forests make yourself look like a professional right but like I said man if you've been scared like twenty dollars to be able to get a eighty thousand dollar job oh my god if you if you think like that bro you're not gonna get nowhere so once again just to make it easier for you guys Sarah like jittery you're like yo oh my god I don't know if I should do this I don't know if I should invest $20 put seven dollars in I guarantee you're gonna learn more in this one month than anywhere else that you're gonna see online
