Everyone keeps saying how great web development is, but how do you get that first job? This video is a response to the questions I've been getting about how to land that first web development job and how to know when you're ready to take the leap and look for one.

The first thing you have to know is that you don't have to be a seasoned pro to get a job as a full-time web developer. There are LOTS of companies looking for web developers that don't have much experience.

Also, there are a lot of things you can do to prepare your resume to really stick out to a prospective employer.

This video will give you a feel for what an employer will be looking for and what they'll be "grading" you on as you look for a job in this industry.
