Potential employers usually hang out at things that market themselves as highly techy

2016-11-09 21:25:19 UTC  

Also Industry events

2016-11-09 21:25:37 UTC  

local techy learning centres?

2016-11-09 21:25:40 UTC  

do those exist?

2016-11-09 21:25:54 UTC  

Yes

2016-11-09 21:26:17 UTC  

Basically industry-sponsored tech education

2016-11-09 21:26:23 UTC  

it's available widely

2016-11-09 21:26:57 UTC  

they exist in the midlands of the UK

2016-11-09 21:27:10 UTC  

Events are also pretty good

2016-11-09 21:27:21 UTC  

if you go to an event you can pretty much deduce where you need to go

2016-11-09 21:27:31 UTC  

Cause there's sponsor booths at those

2016-11-09 21:27:33 UTC  

and you can ask people

2016-11-09 21:28:34 UTC  

i kinda looking for just a weekend job, not an it job at some big company yet

2016-11-09 21:28:41 UTC  

They got those aswell

2016-11-09 21:28:43 UTC  

gotta finish school for that first i guess

2016-11-09 21:29:03 UTC  

Plus the experience basically means you're a much better candidate for anything related in future

2016-11-09 21:29:13 UTC  

true

2016-11-09 21:29:33 UTC  

i actually have some internship kind of thing i have to do for school for like 2 weeks in a few months

2016-11-09 21:29:45 UTC  

it technician at a university

2016-11-09 21:30:06 UTC  

seems really interesting and im looking forward to it tbh

2016-11-09 21:30:13 UTC  

Basically you want one of those except without your school involved

2016-11-09 21:30:29 UTC  

Cause school internships usually dont have payment attached to them

2016-11-09 21:30:33 UTC  

yep

2016-11-09 21:31:32 UTC  

Either way , even if you dont know jack show up at various events and see if it's something you'd like to do what they're doing

2016-11-09 21:31:55 UTC  

Generally networking > experience for your first job

2016-11-09 21:32:16 UTC  

How do you find these events?

2016-11-09 21:32:27 UTC  

would be surprised if there's any near me

2016-11-09 21:32:36 UTC  

school advetrisements/online advetrisments for stem

2016-11-09 21:32:48 UTC  

eventbrite

2016-11-09 21:32:53 UTC  

or something like that

2016-11-09 21:33:02 UTC  

eventbrite works for me

2016-11-09 21:33:26 UTC  

You'll have to find a simillar thing popular in your area

2016-11-09 21:33:42 UTC  

or if you know a big company that exists in your area just check out what they're doing

2016-11-09 21:35:05 UTC  

stuff like that?

2016-11-09 21:35:29 UTC  

Basically yes

2016-11-09 21:36:19 UTC  

i have no idea what they're talking about though

2016-11-09 21:36:41 UTC  

If you have absolutely no idea what it is you should avoid it

2016-11-09 21:37:12 UTC  

Rampajio

2016-11-09 21:37:12 UTC  

That one looks rather higher-level than what you'd otherwise find

2016-11-09 21:38:01 UTC  

thing is with a lot of these events
