Feel like this is now a situation of being ghosted! Despite organising a call with them (upon request) to fit their tight deadline when I wasn't feeling well. Hopefully I'm wrong, but why do recruiters/companies ghost. especially if they made contact first?.

Woohoo!. I've completed all the @CodeFirstGirls Intro to Cloud & Deployment, mini-quizzes 🎉. My certificate should arrive early July :).

Making my way through the Intro to Cloud & Deployment Tech Taster with @CodeFirstGirls 💻. #saas #iaas #paas #cloudservices.

Enjoying using @squarespace to put together a site for the first time! Unfortunately not much code to add because of the basic plan but it's still satisfying :).

I've got a call with a small business tomorrow about a short contract to work on their Shopify store. Cross your fingers for meeee!. #freelancework #womenintech #jobhunting #availableforwork #shopify #Ecommerce.

I updated my portfolio website today!. I need to convert it to React in the near future so it's neater. Feedback welcomed :). #frontenddeveloper #WomenInTech #shecodes #shopifydeveloper #shopifyhelp #womensupportingwomen @womenintech @shecodesio

Is having "milksteak" in my business name ridiculous? It's so hard to think of names 😅.

Is it a common thing that clients don't reply for days then produce a stupid request with a 30min deadline?. Then you manage expectations, put in work until 2am & ask something basic from them (they can get to the stage they want) with 8+ hrs notice and they don't reply again?

Wup wuuup, another rejection. today for @CodeFirstGirls CFG Degree. No feedback makes it hard to know how to improve, I did really think my video interview was a lot better this time. Will it be worth applying again? The next round would be for a 2026 start date. Long time.

I struggled with the Makers tech test and only managed to finish 2/4 tasks within the time, when my answers were right but the tests were showing as wrong. It was due to me not deleting print requests but it took up time and rattled me!. I got the rejection today, no surprise.

Today I'm refreshing on some Python in prep for the coding tests as part of my @makersacademy apprenticeship application 😺

Honestly I've been struggling a bit mentally these last few weeks (not because of work/code related things) which has made applying and enthusiasm pretty tough to rustle up. Trying to push through and remember the only way to make change and progress is to get myself up and go.

Last week I applied to @CodeFirstGirls #CFGdegree with the application, technical test and video interviews. Last year I didn't get past this stage so cross your fingers for me!. #womenwhocode #womenintech #girlswhocode #SoftwareEngineering #wishmeluck.

Client feedback after I've worked on their store for only 2hrs:. "STEF!!!! It’s looking amazing!". #shopifydeveloper #ecommerce #Shopify #shopifystore #womenintech #availableforhire

Teehee, using a good filler of my friend (a voiceover artist) while she's getting her proper portraits ready. A nice few hours out today for lunch at @boxpark then an hour or so working from @AllpressDalston 💻 . #womenintech #femaledeveloper #reactdeveloper #frontenddeveloper

Saying this, I've also been applying for full time roles and haven't had one reply back, which is typical but not hugely encouraging. I'm also unsure about if I should apply for the CFG Degree which could result in a Sept starting job to get my foot in the door. #womenintech

I've been working on the new (launching soon) Rocket Originals website on Shopify and also starting on a site I'm building with React for a voiceover artist. Refreshing my React knowledge this week as I've been doing Shopify for the last good while! Nice to build from scratch.

I'm still heeeere churning away!. Just spoken to a new potential client which is exciting. They want to move off Etsy and need their shopify building and polishing up to look the way they want it. My first overseas client and a lovely person too!. #shopifydeveloper #womenintech.

Went to a @Shopify developer meet up today, hosted by @QuickfireD! 🤓. I find it quite intimidating going to events like that on my own, feeling awkward and never wanting to interrupt people! But it was good fun + I met a bunch of nice folks. Yay!. #shopifydeveloper #womenintech

Did quite a bit of work on a client's Shopify store for Black Friday week! Scheduling discounts, adjusting collections & pages 👌🏻. Making buying easier for customers makes more £!.#shopifydeveloper #femaledeveloper #girlswhocode #opentowork #shopify #londondevelopers #womenintech
