We're not looking, and we're in Australia :P<p>However, in my previous role we hired a lot of grads and entry level developers. I was, in part, responsible for interviewing and hiring these grads.<p>When you ask a grad to rate their skills out of 10, they almost always have unrealistic impressions of their skills. Just about every kid whose done a year of C call themselves "expert" or rates themselves 9/10 for skill. I want to laugh at them. Nothing wrong with enthusiasm, but if you claim you are an expert, I need more than your self-appraisal. Show me project you worked on, show me a product that you contributed to, show me somewhere you volunteered "just to get some experience".<p>For the most part"skills" are redundant in an entry level/grad position. Enthusiasm, a history of "having a go" and an ability to learn are the most important traits to me. The reality is that you learn most of what you need to know whilst on the job, so the ability to learn is critical. If you've learned half a dozen languages, there's a pretty good chance you'll learn more even if you don't know them now.<p>In short, nobody expects a grad to be expert, the worst thing you can do is pretend to be one! :)
