JOBS

Recruitment Agencies

Whenever you're ready to apply for jobs as an iOS Developer writing code in Swift, be sure to use recruiters!

Recruitment agents search all day to connect developers to companies the need developers. A match made in heaven if you are new to an industry and you want help with getting started!

Just search online for "iOS Developer roles recruitment agency London", or what ever your location.

Recruitment agents take a percentage of your first annual salary. This means you don't feel the pinch of the cost but absorb every penny of the benefits.

The benefits of recruiters are ten fold. The comparison could only be made to being sat alone with no job applications sent to being sat alone with the phone ringing constantly to discuss new job opportunities and exciting iOS projects about to "go onto the market".

The job market is fierce with competition and so having your very own personal assistant selling your profile to potential employers is an absolute must. Not to mention all of the interview feedback you will receive, the honesty from a 3rd party, the friendships and of course the incredible job opportunities!

Recruiters, don't forget to. download your recruiter pack from 3DaysOfSwift.com. It's something you can use to vet new candidates for iOS Roles.

SwiftUI is a UI (User Interface) framework that uses a different programming style than normal event-driven coding. SwiftUI uses a reactive programming style and so requires that developers first understand event-driven programming, the Swift programming language and how to use Xcode.

If you are not familiar or don't yet posses the skills listed above, then you shouldn't be learning SwiftUI-you should be studying the language and basic coding principles. Plus, you can always use A.I. to help add some UI to a system you've built.

Study Swift first!

Then, afterwards, enrol at 100 Days of SwiftUI and commit yourself to constructing some Xcode projects for your own coursework and building your very own side projects.

Don't forget about Dr Angela Yu and her Udemy course. Apples SwiftUI tutorials are pretty useful too.
