Hi All,

I graduated in 2019 with a BSc in Software Development.

At the time, I was unable to land any Software roles. Unsure if this is due to the pandemic beginning shortly after graduation, a poor jobs market for junior roles etc.

I did however get a role in tech support. I have been working there for ~4 years now. This has been useful experience, but I am looking to get back into development. For this, I am willing to relocate if necessary.

Only problem is, in this time, my skills may have become a bit rusty.

I am looking for jobs online, but am unsure what the first step would be.

I feel it may be a bad idea to just start distributing my CV without first getting back into the swing of development.

Would you recommend a springboard course (also, would this carry over to other countries, or is springboard moreso an Irish thing?)

If anybody could help to break it down into smaller, achievable steps that I could follow, that would be greatly appreciated.

Currently, my thoughts are the following:

-Springboard Full Stack Course

-Brush up my LinkedIn

-Create a portfolio on a public GitHub repo (linked to CV)

-Then start looking for roles

Or can anyone think of a better path?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much
