The Path to a Ruby on Rails Job

It is my aim to become a ruby on rails developer. However it is a means to an end – I want to create websites that produce business value, and I believe ruby on rails is the best tool to do this.

Therefore to be chosen as a ruby on rails developer within a company I have asked around for tips on what will make me stand out. Here is what I have so far (from most favourable to least):

  • have examples of your work on github
  • have your own gem that provides value to others
  • be active in the open source community
  • be a bug fixer for open source projects
  • get a good rep on http://workingwithrails.com/
  • write/present tutorials on ruby or rails
  • get a good post count in ruby or rails forums (useful and helpful posts of course)
  • blog about ruby and rails

If anyone else (especially people who hire rails developers) has other things I can do to up my profile then post a comment please. I purposely left out contributing to the rails core, for if you are doing that then you probably already have a rails job!
