The goal of the Call Kent Podcast is to get my answers to your questions. You record your brief question (120 seconds or less) right from your browser. Then I listen to it later and give my response, and through the magic of technology (ffmpeg), our question and answer are stitched together and published to the podcast feed.

Description

Recently I quit my job as frontend development instructor and I'm aiming to get a job as frontend developer. Before I apply for job openings I'm planning to go through several courses, create complex projects for my portfolio and only then apply for the job.

My friends are saying I'm overcomplicating the process and I may get into the flow after I got the work. But as I'm aiming at middle level positions, I want to prepare as much time, as much my budget allows. So I can negotiate salary well with employers and will be more valuable worker.
