Career advice as a ASP.NET web developer ?

Zoran Zoki

I am 33 years old and I have learned web forms with C# at faculty. Also I created more than 5 schools projects in Web Forms at the entry or beginner level. After graduation I have worked 3 years in industry not so well connected with software development. After that I was 6 years unemployed, because I was helping my family and I wasn't available for full time job. Meanwhile I have learned ASP.NET MVC and I have done one project where I have demonstrated the learned skills. I also know C/C++, Javascript, Xml, Ado.Net, Html and other it skills not related to the web development.
I don't have professional experience in web development and now I am looking for job and advice where should I proceed with my career as a ASP.NET web developer.

Should I improve my skills in ASP.NET MVC or should I start to learn ASP.NET CORE MVC?
What is your career advice for me?
Should I improve my skills with some new technologies on demand? Which technologies should I learn?

Yes agree with Khaja. It depends on what kind of jobs are available in your city/area. I suggest you try someone experience to get involved in a project that can even pay you and try to get your feet in the industry. In the beginning, may be get involved in some open source projects and keep continuing improving. Doing some of the online trainings can also help. Once you have that, you can ask around if anyone is hiring. LinkedIn has become a good source for that. Good luck!

Hi Zoran,

As you have understanding of ASP.Net MVC then you can start exploring on .Net Core, as there is no much difference in both of these technologies, and also .Net Core is much demanded in market and you can start with .Net Core as well. There are plenty of articles and blogs available on C# Corner for .Net Core & ASP.NET MVC. Apart from this I recommend you to start looking into Angular or React etc.

Thanks & Regards
