Hey Treehouse Team, I'm currently on the Front End track (really enjoying by the way) and am wondering: At what point do I know that I'm trained enough to actually apply for a job in this field? Is there some sort of certification I need to have? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I've been extremely impressed with this whole site and the way content is presented!

Treehouse TeacherHey Dave! That's a tough one. I'd say once you have a couple good projects that you can show to potential employers would be a good time to start applying. At least for Android, certifications aren't that important. They exist, but not a lot of people have them. I also wouldn't shy away from applying to a couple places before you think you're ready. Browsing job listings will give you a good idea of what you need to work on to be marketable, and if you're lucky enough to get an interview or two you'll get some experience interviewing for the position which, even if you don't get the job, can really help nail future interviews. Good luck!
