Looking for work in web development

Hi I'm Hassan, I'm 24 and I'm autistic. About myself I'm shy and quiet but I'm hard working.
I'm currently looking for work in web development. Any advice?

Welcome to the community @hassanjaffery

Have you seen our support to work service? Our experienced advisors can support you with:

• employability skills
• CV guidance
• interview techniques

Do you have any qualifications or work experience in web development?

Do you know about the Surrey Disabled People's Partnership? They might be able to offer more support too?

Hi @hassanjaffery what is about that web development that interests you? I think we may be able to help at Support to Work as @Sam_Scope suggests above. It might be worth giving our Coordinators a call to talk about ways we may be able to help you get into web development. Call on 0300 222 5742 and they will explain more about how the Support to Work service can support you.

I chose to do web development because I enjoy coding and building websites. I've been doing online courses on web development and I earned certificates online. I've not done work experience in web development yet. Although I did several work experiences in accounting in the past. Now I prefer to do web development.

I will have at the support to work service. Thanks

There are quite a few junior web development jobs in Surrey being advertised at the minute here.

It might be worth you calling around some of the companies and asking if they have any work experience/internship/shadowing opportunities available?

There are also a few volunteer bureaus in Surrey that you could contact and ask them if they know of anyone looking for volunteers in a relevant role?

Good luck and let us know how you get on
