Will they get hired at 19?

Question

Career in IT

For 6 months every day for 5-8 hours I studied html css php laravel and the basics of js, there are projects for a resume. noticed several junior and trainee vacancies in my city + remote vacancies, I think to start sending resumes. Do you think that the fact that I am currently 19 years old will play some role, can they be taken lightly? I study at the university in absentia, it takes almost no time, so a lot of free hours, I spend them on training, but I feel that I am already ready to go to practice at work.

Answer 1

Do you think that the fact that I am currently 19 years old will play some role, can they be taken lightly?

I don’t know which particular interviewer / boss you will come across.
But I have never met anyone who turned down a candidate just because of their age.
In any case, if you are refused because of your age, consider yourself lucky, as you will not have to work with inadequate people.

Answer 2

No need to ask random people on the internet.
According to the law - you are already an adult, there should not be any problems with employment.
In terms of knowledge, nobody cares how and where you got it.
It is important not only that you studied HTML, but also, for example, that you were given a task and you UNDERSTAND and PERFORM it, and this, by the way, is far from accessible to everyone.
So here - what kind of work you take? A job for those who know HTML and the basics of js? Where is this work?
What is important is not what you know, but what the one who pays the money requires.
Look at the list of vacancies in different companies, send a resume or contact the contacts for those vacancies where you think you are suitable, try to get a job. All.
With each interview, you will understand more and better what the employer is interested in, and where you need to learn, where your skills simply do not fit.
After 10 interviews, intermediate conclusions can be drawn.

Answer 3

In any case, you should try. Adequate employers will give feedback, at the interview you will find out your weaknesses. Plus, interviewing experience is also a professional experience.
Look at the result, summary, open repositories. How much to learn is not important. It is important what result you can show. In fact, there are also middles at 16. The guys wrote working code - they were hired.
19 years old can interfere only if there are problems with the military registration and enlistment office (i.e. there is no delay), since leaving a programmer to the army at any time is a risk. Basically a good age for a jun. Problems with age begin when you go to junior, and everyone in the team is 10 years younger than you. Then there will be problems due to age because they discuss tiktok, dine at McDuck and after work go to a nightclub, and you go home to wife, children and think how to close the mortgage and the bones break because he fell asleep on the wrong side. But that's a completely different story.

Answer 4

Why won't they take it? The only thing you have to prepare is an assigned one, a military man or whatever you have according to military records. 19 years old - not 17, there should be no problems.
Go to a couple of social security services, it will be clear what and who needs it. The experience of going through social security is also an experience by the way :)

Answer 5

There is no law prohibiting taking at 19
