How did you find your first internship? And in general, were you looking for it, or did you immediately start taking orders for a fee?

Question

Career in IT

Hello. I'm scouring the sites in search of internships remotely for layout, maybe someone knows the places where such vacancies appear? Most job search sites just copycast with hh.
Well, or suddenly you have some little things that you can entrust to a novice person? What are the ways to gain real experience, besides internships? To deceive people, in the hope that along the way I will figure it out not according to my conscience.

Answer 1

Since the 20th, you can find a job, although not for the highest salary, provided that there is minimal knowledge. Try to interview, at least find out what knowledge is missing.

Answer 2

Remote employees without experience are rarely needed, especially interns. Try to find a job in the office.

Answer 3

I got a job with almost no experience, remotely. The scheme was as follows:
1. HTML Academy courses, first interactive, then intensive
2. I make up one layout for myself, for free, along the way I read "Responsive Web Design" by Ethan Marcotte, because. courses (p. 1) did not teach adaptive layout
2a. ...here, according to the plan, there should have been one more mockup for free and for myself, but laziness, laziness
... review, here is the portfolio on github". And in the portfolio - a training layout and the second.
4. In this way I fulfill 3 orders, I get as much as 300 rubles per card as a thank you. and reviews, yes
5. at the same time I am looking for vacancies on hh, where I am ready to take a junior to a remote location, I honestly write to them about my experience
. Bottom line - some took a chance and hired me, and I work there. Of course, I had to learn quickly and on the go.
