Duplicate of How can I tell which job requirements matter in software offerings?, Effectively adding "Self-taught" skills on your Resume | |
| Dec 13, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | SlySherZ | @Formagella I do have personal projects, some available online, some on my computer only. For example: khanacademy.org/profile/SlySherZ/programs | |
| Dec 13, 2014 at 16:32 | comment | added | Formagella | I hope you have a good public repository/personal projects showcase website/successful free stuff on the internet. Showcasing successful projects is the only alternative I see to listing real jobs. | |

| Dec 12, 2014 at 16:39 | comment | added | Stephan Kolassa | @gnat: I think the questions you link to do not address the particular aspects in this question, and edited this question to emphasize this. SlySherZ: please feel free to improve on these edits. (Maybe) needless to say, I believe this is a worthwhile question: how does someone without formal qualifications, but with self-taught technical knowledge, land an entry-level job? | |

| Dec 12, 2014 at 16:18 | comment | added | gnat | @Telastyn see ^^^ above. There's also: Effectively adding “Self-taught” skills on your Resume (and several questions listed in Related section over there) | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 16:07 | comment | added | user1220 | @StephanKolassa - akin to a rite of passage? | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 15:48 | comment | added | Stephan Kolassa | @user1220: this is signaling - you could just as well learn the content by yourself, but having that distinction on your degree signals something to potential employer, like conscientiousness or the capacity for sticking with a task even if it is boring. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | user1220 | The way I see it, you are paying the university for the diploma, not necessarily for what you learn. And the diploma may take you places your knowledge may not by itself. | |

emphasized self-study & lack of formal qualifications; added qualifications tag
