Reasons the U.S. Dollar Will Continue to Get Stronger

The U.S. dollar has been on a tear as of late, hitting highs against the euro and other key currencies in the past few months, but what has buttressed this ascent and can it be sustained?
Here are three reasons to continue to stay bullish on the dollar:
1. The U.S. economy is stronger than any other right now
The U.S. is the pick of the litter among prominent world economies, according to the IMF and World Bank, while many larger economies struggle to find growth. The U.S. is also in the midst of its longest consecutive period of payroll growth in its history, and started the year off continuing this trend by again, beating expectations in January. The U.S. economy by most any quantitative metric is doing well, especially on a relative basis. Unsurprisingly, this has attracted investors looking for safe growth.
2. Supply and demand for dollars
The aforementioned data does much to instill investor confidence in the U.S. economy and subsequently makes it a favorable destination for investment, which means you must own dollars. Additionally, we have ended quantitative easing here, meaning bond yields should be more attractive than in places that currently have bond-buying programs. The European Central Bank has just begun a massive $1.2 trillion program of its own; Japan is continuing their purchases; and the People's Bank of China has alluded to easing as well. A prominent result of these bond-buying programs is the raising of bond prices, which causes their yields to drop. Yields from government debt is already difficult enough to find as it is, with interest rates for many top economies incredibly low if not negative. Investors are seeking both safety and something that offers some semblance of a return; the U.S. at the moment is the best of both of those worlds.

Why is this relevant to supply and demand for the dollar? Because if investors wish to buy U.S. treasuries or any form of U.S. dollar-denominated debt, they must do so in dollars. This means they must convert their currency to dollars, sparking increased demand which invariably leads to an increase in value.

3. Lack of inflation
Many predicted rampant U.S inflation from years of bond buying from the Fed, flushing the market with liquidity. While not an outlandish conclusion, it just frankly is nowhere to be found in any material amount. The most recent reports released in January peg it at a nominal .8%. While the Federal Reserve would like to see a bit more, and deflation being insidious for its own reasons, this lower-end happy medium has lent more confidence to the dollar as it's showing its purchasing power domestically is very much intact.
It's pertinent to note that there are multiple countries that have low inflation or are very safe regarding a return of principal; however there are none that possess all the aforementioned traits simultaneously. It's when all these factors are coalesced that the dollar is placed in a somewhat unique light. No country has the growth projections, the safety, the lack of inflation, and the return the United States has right now. As such, investment interest in America is strong and it appears that it will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Expect the U.S. dollar to continue to be a safe haven currency and remain strong going forward

Things You Must Do to Land a Junior Web Developer Job

Wondering if it’s worth getting into web development? Check out these numbers:

1. 121,000 people working as web developers right now in the U.S. alone
2. 20% growth predicted for the industry through 2020*
   *Bureau of Labor Statistics
3. 25,785 web developer job vacancies on Indeed
4. Average salary for a web developer of $87,000

Pretty impressive numbers! But are you thinking… “It’ll be YEARS before I, a tech newbie, can start to dream about a job like that!” Well, think again! You can learn the fundamentals of web development faster than you think. And once you do, you can start looking for junior web developer jobs.
“Junior web developer” is the term commonly used for people starting in the web development industry. But don’t let the tiny-sounding title fool you! Entry-level web developers bring home an average salary of $71,000 and there are 4,869 junior web developer job openings on Indeed as of April 2, 2015!

To get started as a web developer, of course you’ll need the key skills:

1. HTML
2. CSS
3. JavaScript
4. jQuery

Then, once you’re armed with those digital super powers, you should also look at getting to know these often-asked-for extras:

1. Web design / UX / Photoshop (more skills you can learn with us in the Skillcrush Web Designer Career Blueprint
2. Version control (Git / GitHub)
3. Cross-browser compatibility
4. Responsive web design

But is that enough?? When you’ve got the coding basics and some bonuses down, are you REALLY ready to start your job search? Maybe the idea of trying to get a web developer position probably makes you feel like an imposter, and you’d be less nervous about a full root canal than an interview at a development agency.

It’s understandable. How can you feel confident in a job interview when you aren’t completely sure what all the job requirements actually are, or if you’re really and truly up to the job?
That’s perfectly normal at this point, but you don’t have to stay paralyzed in fear and miss out on your dream career.

You’ve already conquered the hardest part of the process by getting those must-have skills. But if you want to be sure you’re a TOP candidate, there’s plenty you can do to prepare.
Here are 12 ways to get your phone ringing or email box filling up with invites to interviews. Get started with them today. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be a happily-employed developer!

12 must-dos to land your first developer job

 

1. Build your own portfolio site

 

Creating your portfolio is JOB ONE if you want to get a developer job. As Skillcrush instructor and tech consultant Dee Kapila says, “When I hire junior devs, I look for an impressive portfolio.”
Your portfolio is the first thing potential employers will look at when considering you, so it needs to be a real reflection of your skills and yourself.
You can get ideas about what to put in your portfolio in step #2. But, before you can load up your portfolio, you need to code it and launch it on the wonderful World Wide Web.

2. Fill up your portfolio with projects

 

Now that you’ve got your own site built, it’s time to load it up with all the things. Of course you’ll include any work you’ve done for companies or clients (with their permission). But no need to worry if you haven’t done many—or any!—“real” projects.
Check out How to Build an Impressive Portfolio When You’re New to Tech to find out about the 14 things you can do to build a portfolio that will get you hired, even if you’ve only been coding for months.

3. Do freelance projects

 

Speaking of projects, a great way to get some for your portfolio is to do some freelancing on the side. It’ll give you the chance to build your experience AND beef up your bank balance while helping you round out your portfolio.
The projects don’t have to be huge ones. You can offer, for example, to re-do the navigation for a local restaurant’s website or to create an HTML newsletter for a charity organization.
And you might consider doing some charity yourself—in the form of pro bono projects. You won’t be bringing home any bacon from them, but they’ll be a great addition to your portfolio, and you can actually make unpaid projects pay off for you in lots of ways that will boost your job search and your career.

4. Put your code on GitHub

 

Github is the industry-standard for version control, so many companies want to know that you already know how to use this tool. You can prove that AND show off your best code by creating your own Github account and using it as a repository for your projects.
After you get it set up, try to make regular contributions to your GitHub account to show that you’re consistently working on your skills. Even if they’re only for “imaginary” projects, keep your code clean and organized and include clear and concise README documentation so that employers know that you’ll be able to jump right in to collaboratively coding on their teams and projects.

5. Contribute to an open source project

 

If most of your coding so far has been for your classes, mock projects, or solo gigs, you can also increase your teamwork cred by getting involved in an open source project.
Open source is the term for source code that’s publicly available and can be modified by anyone. And there’s an incredible range of open source projects, including famous ones like Ruby on Rails, Linux, MySQL, and loads of JavaScript frameworks.
Getting involved in open source projects will:

• Strengthen your development skills
• Get you hands-on experience working on teams and projects
• Let you meet and network with other developers

You can look for open source projects of all kinds and sizes on Explore GitHub. And once you find a project you’re interested in and have explored it more, don’t be afraid to jump in and help! Some easy first steps you can take are reporting bugs, helping prioritize issues, beta testing, working on the project’s website, or improving documentation.

6. Participate in a hackathon

 

You can’t turn around nowadays without bumping into a hackathon! And they’re a fun and exciting way to get to know people with the same interests, tackle interesting problems, test your coding skills, learn from others, and maybe win prizes like gift cards, gear, trips, and CASH! And, oh yeah. There’s that thing of making you look good when you’re looking for developer jobs…At a hackathon, you’ll end up coding on a team, and if you’ve been learning to code on your own, proving you can hack it (get it?) with a team of coders makes you a lot more appealing to hiring managers at web development agencies.

And remember to keep your eye out at the event for sponsors and recruiters. Many a web developer has gotten noticed at a hackathon and offered a job right on the spot!

7. Meet techies online and IRL

 

In addition to fame and glory, hopefully you’ll also get contacts in tech from those hackathons, but don’t let the networking stop there. Keep reaching out and learning more about the industry by meeting people online and in person.
The easiest way to do this is through tech meetup groups. Almost everyone city has them, and, if yours doesn’t, you can set up your own. Just pick the focus, find a place (even a coffee shop or local park will do!), and spread the word.
Or, if you’re really not in a location that lets you get together with other techies, look for communities online. Answer questions on Stack Overflow, comment on Reddit threads related to development, or help out on the WordPress.org forum.
Whether you meet in person or on the Internet, you’ll be expanding your horizons and getting to know people who can turn out to be your future co-workers or superiors.

8. Follow industry news

 

To keep from freezing up right at the small talk phase when you meet all those techies OR during your first web developer job interview (!), start keeping up with what’s happening in tech.
You don’t need to be an expert on every story or topic out there. Just get to know what’s hot and what’s happening. And that’s beyond easy to do: You can read blogs or tech news sites over breakfast, listen to podcasts when you’re walking your dog, or scan Twitter lists while you’re waiting in line at the store.

9. Learn more!

 

Besides keeping up on the news, you should also keep up with learning new skills and tools of the trade. As a web developer, knowing these will make you that much more in-demand.
A few that are most requested are:

• CSS preprocessors like Sass or Less
• Frameworks like Backbone.js, Angular.js, or Node.js, etc. or Ruby on Rails
• A CMS (Content Management System) like WordPress

And you can explore the wonderful world of Ruby in a Skillcrush Ruby on Rails Developer Blueprint or try the WordPress Developer Blueprint to learn the world’s most popular CMS.

10. Refine your resume

 

Even though your portfolio is where you’ll show off your skills, a lot of companies still ask for resumes and use them to “weed out” candidates. That means yours needs to be as polished and professional as your portfolio if you want to get noticed AND hired.
Of course you’ll want to update the information on your resume to fit web development. Also make sure you highlight your core skills, play up any tech-related experience, and give specific details to prove your achievements and strengths.

11. Check out the jobs

 

Now that you’ve made the extra effort with these must-haves, it’s time to dive into some actual job listings. Start by just searching for “junior web developer” and not worrying about the company or the location. The idea is for you to see what employers are looking for and what kind of options are available for you in general.
Keep in mind that job ads tend to list more (sometimes WAY more!) requirements and “nice-to-haves” than are really expected from candidates. Never hurts to ask, right?! Don’t let this discourage you though. If you can handle most of what they’re looking for, you’ll probably be at least considered for the role.
Once you’ve gotten a feel for what’s out there, go ahead and send out your resume for some jobs you’re really interested in. Be realistic but don’t be shy. Nobody’s going to come knocking on your door with a web dev position in hand. You have to put yourself out there.
And don’t forget the good ol’ grapevine! Let all your friends, family, neighbors, and—of course—hackathon/meet-up/online friends know that you’re actively looking. You never know who has a friend who has a friend who knows just the job for you.

12. Interview for a job – even if you’re not sure you’re ready

 

When that shiny happy moment happens and you’re asked to go for an interview, go for it! THIS is the moment you’ve been waiting for! You can never be 100% prepared for any interview, but you know how hard you’ve worked for this so show them what you’ve got.
In Dee’s case, for example, she asks junior dev candidates to “whiteboard wireframes as part of the interview to see how they dealt with pressure and to gauge their thought process.”
And Skillcrush lead developer Emily Davis looks for “a candidate’s ability to break down a problem into small pieces that can be worked through step-by-step. This means she is likely able to identify the root cause of an issue and work from there, rather than having little or no idea where to start.”
No matter how it goes, you’ll have survived that nerve-wracking first interview, which will make the next one that much easier. Plus you’ll have a much better idea of what future interviews will be like and what you need to work on for them. And maybe not surprisingly, there’s no better preparation for a job interview than a job interview. In no time at all, instead of just applying for junior web developer positions, you’ll be accepting your first one!
