If you are studying and still haven't gotten an opportunity to put your knowledge into practice, you need to look for ways to open doors. After all, what you can't do is wait for the opportunity to appear. Right?
Get involved in college projects.
You know those volunteer projects, which are often not part of the required college curriculum? It can be monitoring, a project that aims to develop something for the faculty itself, study groups, scientific initiation projects.
All of these are good examples of activities that have a lot to contribute to your education and can be done while you are in college.
There are several benefits to participating in these projects. You put into practice what you saw in the classroom, work as a team, improve your communication, help you discover new skills that you didn't know until then, help you develop a better resourcefulness to deal with adverse situations, it can provide the development of new ideas and of course having a good network.
Try trying on smaller deals.
You have no problem starting on smaller projects, whether it's a micro-enterprise in your city or a start-up.
It's worth the experience and learning.
Another tip is to improve projects for smaller companies, a website or an app, for example. But be careful with the approach, you can say you did a case study and explain the points you improved.
Undertake!
If you apply for the vacancies, but so far no opportunity has arisen, it is worth keeping a preparation in parallel.
When many people are unable to enter the job market, they end up looking for opportunities to work for themselves, where they may end up having their own business.
One of the ways to do this is to put into practice that personal project that was stopped. Use this free time to develop, be it some product or service that makes you gain experience and of course an income.
Demand for good development professionals is on the rise. So use your knowledge with the best you have and offer your work on platforms and companies.
You can turn an idea into an app, or if you like games and you're more interested in that, you can create one and turn it into a business.
It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. You just have to try.
