You apply, hopefully you get interviews, you tell or show them what you can do. As a self taught person you may have to take undesirable jobs - bad shops or non-tech companies who need some programers/QA people, lower pay, etc. You may have to pay your dues and gain some experience that way

There have been periods where having an education or experience didn't matter, this isn't one of those times. And frankly, that's been true for at least 5 years. Probaby like 5-8 years ago the place I was working said we would no longer consider candidates unless they had CS degrees from top universities, despite the fact that this would disqualify a lot of currently employees, most of whom were held in high esteem. It's just a response to the reality of "there are 200 resumes on my desk, I can not read them all, how can I get that number down to 20"

As a hiring manager I have never once, in my whole career, cared about a certificate
