A year and a half ago, I got hired as an iOS Dev out of Mobile Makers (iOS Dev Bootcamp), 100% on my culture fit/personality. The truth is, after an 8 week bootcamp, you don't really know too much, so being a hard-working, good person, with a great attitude is really your strongest asset when you're early in your career. I'd argue that's more important that technical fit when applying for your VERY FIRST developer job.

Oh my, You nailed it.. we need more videos like this one to break that fear of job application/interviewing. I totally agree, the more interviews we take, the more comfortable with it we'll get

Thank you for bringing your unique insights to us budding developers. Honestly your channel is one of the best on KZread for iOS development. Please keep posting more awesome content like this and I'll keep hitting that like button!

Hello Brian, I did my first interview as iOS Engineer but I did not go well. But I learned from that experience. Thank you for your advice based on your experience, I feel motivated.

I've just seen a few of your videos. Will probably watch more. Thank you for sharing your advice about the journey of a developer. I'm just starting out and I'm lost. I have an associates from ITT tech. All I retained is the basic concepts of programming java and website stuff. Your videos have helped guide me. So, thank you.

I don't usually leave a lot of comments but honestly this video really hit home for me as I am in that position!! Thank you so much for ALL your help!!

Great video! I guess what most of us beginners or advanced beginners are looking for is what topics you must absolutely know before applying for jobs. Your brief list towards the end of the video was really interesting. A video specifically on that would be much appreciated! thumbs up if you think the same ;)

this motivates me. thank you Brian

I'm a senior in highschool and previously had ambitions of becoming a network manager, but I find software engineering much more appealing, thanks to you Brian

After 19 years of being a solo freelance developer, I went on about 5 - 6 interviews before I noticed that Lagunitas Brewing Company was hiring. Came up here and interviewed, got the job. Now I'm primarily doing Swift development and loving every minute of it!

Thanks. The instagram firebase course is perfect.

Been subscribed for about a week now. I LOVE your content.

Bery cool and subtle dab in the thumbnail!! Amazing!!

Nice man! Very well said!

Cool points, thanks!

Dang, wish you were my older brother. Thanks for advices and chat app tutorial with kotlin :D

Thanks so much for this video. I'm currently searching for my first job after boot camp and sometimes get very discouraged with results. I know I will find something I just have to keep grinding. You're the best!

Hi Brian! Thanks for your videos!!! Can you make a video about handling requests with cookies handling (session id, tokens, setting and reading cookies?)

Brian, I finished out some concepts and ran them through a professional team to build out my investor deck. Basically, because I have no category, since this is an INSANE product and is not just a listing app like Facebook or a selfie app like Instagram. I am sorting through candidate VCs next week. The list is provided by my consultant through GPEC (Greater Phoenix Economic Council) and since I'm printing money, I wondered if you may want to print some with me. I can NDA you into the project. It will blow your mind, but if we have to remember that, though we have "0" competition, we have license to do this thing right. Thanks, Bob
