How to land my dream web dev role?
Here's a quick summary of my skills and abilities as well as my current work situation.
I'm currently working for a pharmaceutical company as a QA analyst and have been for almost two years now.
My job is 80% interacting with data (identifying trends etc), 10% backup PM work and dealing with clients and the rest is made up of functional testing of websites and creating Excel based processes.
Previous to my current employment, I spent my time looking for work by volunteering my time to a local charity helping them to overhaul their website and move it onto a Wordpress platform.
Since then, i've continued to pursue my passion for the web and have attended many conferences, online courses and have learned a bit of Javascript/jQuery, Python, Ruby (and Ruby On Rails).
I guess im mainly looking for advice. I have a lot of passion for the web. I love how there's always something new to learn and it's always so exciting to see a new way to overcome a problem.
I don't really have a lot to show, my portfolio website is kind of old and needs a overhaul http://kevintuck.co.uk
Is there anything else that I can do in the mean time to make myself attractive to employers and help me get my dream opportunity?
