When you first get into Python and realize you actually want to become a Python developer, you find yourself asking “What Python Projects Should I Build To Get A Job?”. Years ago, when I was still working as a QA engineer, I had the same question. In this post, I will share my insight and what type of projects I recommend my Python Mentoring students build.

What Python Projects Should I Build To Get A Job?

There are many different Python projects you can build to improve your skills and make yourself more marketable in the job market. If you already know which type of industry you want to work in, I’d recommend you build a Python project that is relevant to that industry.

This approach will help you gain experience with the types of technologies and problems that you will encounter in your desired industry, and will make you a more attractive candidate for job opportunities in that field.

Good afternoon, Roberts Greibers here, and in this post I’m going to expose the awful truth about python training in NYC (New York City) and also all over the world. 

I’ve been working professionally as a Python developer for more than 5 years and now (see my Linkedin here) I’m also helping people who are in a similar position I was when I first started – to become Python developers. (see a cut from a LIVE mentoring call)

Ever since I started to lean more into the field of helping people, I realized how many horror stories are out there about a common Python training course. 

Every now and then I hear a new story, a new shocking price of a training course, and now it’s no surprise to me that there is a lack of good Python developers out there. 

I used to be a quality assurance engineer (manual tester) – testing website projects and apps so I totally get that a lot of people want to move away from their current job and get into more profitable positions like becoming a Python/Django developer.  

Maybe you’re somebody who wants to become a Python developer, be more independent, more free from a typical 9-5 job, maybe even work remotely from anywhere in the world, and have a higher income than what you’re used to. 

So if that’s you, I want to give you a little bit of a counterbalance to all the wild claims that all these Python training courses out there are currently making.
