Can A Python Beginner Get A Job?

Python is an ideal language for beginners interested in learning programming because of its easy-to-learn syntax, powerful libraries, and large community support.

Back in the day, when I used to work as a QA engineer ( more on how I became a Python developer here ) I used to think like most Python beginners and I had the same questions you have.

Many beginners wonder if they can actually get a job as a Python developer with little or no experience.

And the question remains: Can a Python beginner get a job?

Can A Python Beginner Get A Job?

The answer is YES, but it requires some effort and dedication!

As a Python beginner, you may be able to find job opportunities in entry-level positions such as Junior Python Developer, Python Intern, or Python Apprentice.

These positions typically require some knowledge of Python and other programming languages, as well as a basic understanding of computer science and software engineering principles.

You may also find job opportunities in related fields such as:

  • Data analysis
  • Web development
  • Automation

Many of these positions require some knowledge of Python and its libraries.

These libraries are used for data analysis, visualization, and manipulation, which are important skills for many industries.

๐Ÿšจ In this article, we will explore the answer to the Can a Python beginner get a job? question in depth and I’ll provide recommendations on what you could do as a Python beginner to achieve this goal based on my own experience!

Python Read CSV File (Python Excel Reader)

Hey! It’s Roberts Greibers here.

I’ll share details about my 7+ years of experience as a Python developer with you a bit later in the post (you’ll have to scroll down to find them).

But now, let’s talk about how I came to write my “read from CSV Python example” script.. ๐Ÿš€

Firstly, understand that CSV is a file format supported by nearly all platforms..

That’s why for Python programming purposes I’d suggest you use CSV format instead of any other excel format. 

It’s possible to find a Python excel library and use Python for excel files in general, but in this post, we’re going to strictly focus on how to read CSV file in Python. 

Also, we’re going to check:

  • Should you learn Excel or Python? (using Python in Excel?)
  • Are there any ways you can use Python for excel? (e.g. Parsing CSV Python)
  • Any Python excel library you could find and use? (e.g. Python CSV file reader)
  • How to import CSV file in Python? (the process of importing CSV into Python)

If you’ve been Googling for “Python Read CSV” or the typical “Reading CSV file in Python” you’ve found the RIGHT place! ๐ŸŽ‰

I’m about to explain the details of how I optimize my time by parsing spreadsheets in Python (e.g. CSV in Python) and how I avoid manual CSV reading tasks using Python. 

Building a quick CSV file reader in Python can take you up to 30 minutes and save you hours later assuming you’re using the script on a daily basis. 

Let’s get into it and I’ll also share a way that helped me and might even help you to become a professional Python developer at the end of the post ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป
