yah, I think after the first job things will roll out much easier. It's always getting your foot in the door that's most challenging.

I've got commercial work experience as a designer and web project manager, but this is the first time I'm going after a technical position. So I kind of have experience.

I am just completing an apprenticeship, so I do have some production projects with users, which I hope will set me apart from other green jr. dev's
