Another person hired as a Test Automation Engineer! Seriously forget the things you hear about your first coding job should be as a junior developer. Getting hired as a Test Automation Engineer is way easier and still allows you to write code :-)
I only personally coach 1 person at a time these days. Please welcome Jae Shin to the tech field as a Test Automation Engineer.
Getting hired is simply, learn how to code, learn how to market yourself, and share that enthusiasm and passion during the interview. Most people can get hired in 4 months once they set their mind to achieving the goal of getting hired. Now is the perfect time to break into tech, there is more opportunity than ever in the tech scene. Seriously go to any job board and search for "QA" or "Test Automation" and see all the jobs that are available.
Here is Jae's review from his coaching experience, by the way he got hired in 1 month:

Be encouraged, charge forward, never listen to the naysayers! You can learn and you can get hired, and it doesn't have to take years!
Always keep learning :-)
