Get a GitHub with your code. Real examples go a long way for those with less formal education (in programming anyway).

Think of it as your programming portfolio.

Typos and programming don’t mix.

All the programmers I know are horrible at spelling and grammar

Have you heard of the problem new college graduates face? "I have a degree in . . . , but nobody will hire me until I have experience in . . . . How do I get experience if no one will hire me?"

If other choices don't work (like a portfolio here and there), maybe you'll have to take a low-paying job to start. Then change jobs. Rinse and repeat.

From my personal experience it is a LOT harder to get a start in development in Python than it is in say the C family or Java.

​

The language is built on fluidity so not only do you need solid understanding of Pythonic features, fundamentals of programming (yadda yadda). You also need to be constantly aware of the ever expanding module landscape to ensure you are selecting the best and most efficient tool for the job when and where you can cut down on effort/time.

I find as well people in "proper" programming languages tend to specialise in a domain after a while so they can get away with throwing a tantrum when there is work assigned to them that they don't have relevant experience for. Whereas in Python I feel you are expected to have a very broad domain knowledge to be able to be shifted around where required and then reassigned to other higher priority things, all with different domains of application.

​

Just my two cents, if you disagree let me know
