notMe888··on Ask HN: I can't find a First job, now what?
I have asked for some friends to recommend me, I got 2 emails from their companies, but one didn't respond to my response and for the other I will have a second interview with them next week.

Thank you for your input, indeed I have interned in an R&D lab of prestigious European company.

However they are in a hiring hiatus. I was given a very positive recommendation. However, they didn't offer any position to any intern.

Thank you for your input.

I have a Github with a couple dozen projects that I have made over the years, however none of them are "completed products", most are a few thousands lines of code that I put together during the weekend.

Do you think that I should be pushing more finished and cleaner projects?

I'm mainly applying in Europe because the local market for developers/engineers in my Arab country is very poor and under-developed. It is very rare to find a junior position that would allow me to enrich my CV, plus with a starting average salary of 400$/month it very hard to make any long-term economies.

OP here: Just more information, I'm looking for jobs mostly in Europe (Since I have studied in France) but I require VISA sponsorship.

Which might be a factor in my situation.
