Frontend jun at 26?

Question

Career in IT

Hello!
At the moment, I took up the study of layout and js. In the future, I plan to switch to preprocessors, vue / react and other development tools.
One thing is confusing. I am ALREADY 26 years old and the fact that I worked unofficially (not according to shopping mall) either as a courier or as a picker. There are 11 months of recording in shopping mall in the web studio. It was the first experience in IT and it was only in 18 years. Then 2 weeks at the factory, a week OFFICIALLY as a storekeeper, otherwise the shopping center is empty. There was work for six months as a tester (web), but this is not in the shopping mall.
So, I have maximum uncertainty because of age and TC. Looking at the TK, most will refuse me simply because there are records for a week or two, a year at most (only one record). Yes, and in June 26 I don’t even know if they will consider it or not.
What do you think about this? If you were an employer, you would look at the TK and the age of the person, provided that he spends ALL his free time after work (3 hours) on training. Weekend 6 hours.

Answer 1

Lord ...
I'm waiting for a reflection on the age of 20-year-olds ...
On the topic - no, 26 is not enough. It's not "already" but "still".
Do not complex.
And this... there are enough fools in the profession who like to assert themselves at the expense of others
. Grow a protective shell, otherwise it will be hard. Letting one or two of these ruin your life is stupid.
Do what you think is right

Answer 2

In IT, no one (at least a little adequate) looks at nothing but skills.
The only thing that can get in the way is if you have 100,500 entries in your workbook for a couple of months each, otherwise it's all garbage.
But you need to have skills, and you need to be able to demonstrate them.

Answer 3

1. For boys, the most difficult is the first 40 years.
2. Age matters only closer to 50-60, when the vast majority of average people have difficulty learning new things in large volumes. And there are many exceptions.
In general, you should not indicate a job in your resume that, in your opinion, will not help the employer to learn something useful about you.

Answer 4

Nobody cares about your shopping mall, you say that as if you had an awesome experience and it was not included in the shopping mall and now you don’t know what to do.
Your age is also not so critical to worry about
