Employers are suspicious of resume gaps so make sure you're filling it with something, whether that be work, volunteering, training or even travel to an economically relevant place.

English degree has a decent number of jobs related to it, pretty much anything involving writing you're good for. I don't know what it's like in your country but a lot of graduate jobs, especially in government, don't seem to care much what you studied as long as you have a degree, so maybe look into that.

If you want to make a career out of coding you can learn some of that yourself but eventually you'll need to do some formal training, if only to get the piece of paper saying you have the skills.

Thanks for the advice.
I live in the UK, and I've applied for some HR roles in the NHS (government healthcare), as well as some copywriting jobs elsewhere. I was thinking of meeting up with some friends to build up a basic portfolio for copy, but it's only a plan right now.

I'm taking Harvard's CS50x course on edX and I've paid in advance for the certificate - for motivation mostly. I've heard that some people have gotten employed straight out of completing the course online with no other experience.

ayy lmao
u will still know literally nothing about writing decent code after that edx course, nigga, and that certificate wont get u a job

Thanks for the bump

You have a Literature degree, why don't you go into Journalism or something.

Also lie, lie on your CV, lie as much as you can, you're not being judged by any God and you have one life to make it so who the fuck cares

Journalism today is just maintaining presence on social media, rehashing comments from a reddit threads, and shilling shit. I'm also not a special snowflake so I can't make every topic about my sexuality or my race. I'm pretty objective, and I don't take sides politically. In modern journalism, money is earned in clicks, and you have to be as controversial as possible.

I've considered it before, but everyone in the field advises people to never go into journalism.

What this guy said about coding and needing a degree is only true at some places.

When you said coding I'm assuming you mean Web Development? Web development agencies in particular don't care about formal education. They have numerous clients using or requesting completely different technologies. They value your ability and willingness to learn, and if their smaller your ability to communicate with clients like a PM. If you went in there with enthusiasm, with something cool you made, you'd have a really good chance of getting hired without formal training.
