If you have some strong references, your way can be faster depending on your ability to sell yourself. Otherwise you are just a littlebit fucked if you want a job. Without strong references or an education -> no callback -> no chance to present yourself and your skills. Even if you do get a callback you will have a hard time convincing them you are the man for the job since you have nothing to show.
Obviously I like my way better, otherwise I would have chosen differently. |
that's why you need to write a good resume, know how to sell yourself, and bring examples of your source code.
