Job search strategy with Dan

Time with Dan was great, he really gave me some important insights and helped me to pick my future career. I am sure he will help many other people to get better at coding, he is very talented and engaging. Recommended

Dan helped me to craft a plan along with projects that would help me to understand Front End Development further than I ever had before. One of Dan's greatest strengths is to help you stay focused on what matters. In becoming a self-taught developer there are so many tangents and side paths that could lead you on a longer path than needed. With Dan's help, I was able to craft a solid portfolio of projects based around React, and JavaScript. His expertise in recruiting has provided insights into how to navigate and approach getting a job. Although I have not secured a job yet, I am early in the process of applying and still reach out to Dan for guidance.

Dan is great - knows what he's talking about and has a no BS approach. He helped me up my coding game immensely - I feel my frontend skills are a in different league compared to before. Additionally - with his background in tech recruitment he provided awesome insight in how my CV and profile should look like - hardly a week goes by now without a recruiter hitting me up. Totally recommend 5/5.

Dan has been a game-changer in my development journey. His mentorship not only boosted my confidence but also played a key role in landing me a new frontend role. Dan's teaching approach is both effective and engaging. The weekly tasks he assigned allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. Our review sessions were enlightening, providing a deep understanding of the code and the rationale behind certain methodologies. This hands-on approach not only improved my technical skills but also enriched my problem-solving abilities. His support was crucial during challenging moments. For instance, dealing with interview rejections can be demoralising, but Dan's guidance shifted my perspective. He stressed that rejections are a normal part of the professional journey and not a measure of personal skills. This mindset adjustment proved crucial as I navigated the job search with renewed resilience. If you're a developer looking for a mentor who goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Dan. His dedication and practical approach create an ideal learning environment. Grateful for his impact on my journey, I'm confident others will benefit just as much from his mentorship.

I've been working with Dan for a few months now, with the goal of improving my imposter syndrome in my job as a developer, after a long while of feeling very overwhelmed/ not good enough. Since working together, my dev skills have increased much faster than i thought would be possible and in turn my confidence and enjoyment at work has already sharply risen. Dan has a very clear and structured plan of action to help level up the relevant skills i need improvement upon from a technical view, but also has great unique insight into the soft skills/ work politics side of things, and perhaps most importantly, genuinely is passionate about the progression of his mentees. I look forward to being able to now have goals of going to the next step in my career as we continue to work together
