Ask HN: Help / Advice on getting a job in Europe?
I live in Central America and my first language is English. I will work as anything, whether it is as an English teacher (No experience), in human resources, fetching coffee, anything to get a foot in Europe. I do have a EU passport so no issues there.
I know some Python. Did the Coursera class and read the book Programming for Everybody (Python) (For whoever wants to learn to code that is a fantastic class). I've dabbled a bit in Git, twice or thrice. I 'code' in notepadd++ and CMD. I have a bit of experience with linux distros but I'm still very noobish when it comes to a lot of things and not only linux distros. I also dabbled a bit in R and RStudio but dropped it to focus on learning (to code) Python properly. My goals when it comes to coding is to learn Haskell / Clojure / lisp / Erlang just for the sheer joy of it and / or to see if I can. My life goal is to write a few books, fictional because that is the one thing I'm not sure I could ever be good at (of course there are skills I know I can never be good at, like dancing. If you ever saw my parents dancing you'd know) and to be happy.
If you want to know the type of person I am, over at XDA, search for the "ace think tank" thread in the desire hd forum. I didn't know much but enjoyed helping when I could. If I didn't know how to solve an issue, I would either try and point the person in the right direction or get someone else to help them. Same username.
I looked through the "who's hiring" requires knowledge I don't have yet to be able to apply to something.
