10/05/2023, 1:52 PMI don't think many people care as long as you have time. You might have to take a reduced rate on your first few jobs, but as long as you're prepared to commit to a job then your CV is probably all the creds that you need.

10/05/2023, 1:53 PMI would suggest contacting a load of bigger Umbraco agencies and see if they need a hand with their projects. They will have some confidence in having other devs who can verify your work is up to scratch and they are good names to then have on your CV.

10/05/2023, 1:53 PMFinding clients outside of Umbraco agencies is harder work. Quite possible, but maybe start easy.

10/05/2023, 1:55 PMNo decent agency uses Fiverr or Upwork IMHO. It's too risky because the quality isn't reliably high enough.
Well you 5 projects may be enough to swing a role. It's hard to find labour at a cheap rate. If you can let people review your work then you might find people prepared to go just by that. Otherwise taking the certification will work, but expensive.

10/05/2023, 1:57 PMI would defo look at the list of Umbraco partners on the website and try to contact them. If you point out that your rate is cheap while you build your client base, but they can review your work, then someone will bite.

10/05/2023, 1:59 PMI don't know anyone looking. Posting in #887257473336107018 is a good place to start. Otherwise hit the contact forms on each partner's website.

10/06/2023, 10:33 AM@alaaalmasri If you have built up a decent portfolio/resume/amount of experience, applying for (remote) in-house jobs could also be an option instead of doing freelancer work on Fiverr, unless that's specifically what you are looking for ofcourse

talk to recruiters ( local to you) and they might have some jobs
