Junior PHP Developer

[Sumbop]

Hey All,

I have recently started learning PHP and MySQL (again) and am at a level where I can utilize pre written codes, make edits and dissect and understand the parts of an application.

I am, however, far from being able to write complex applications from scratch. Which is something I understand will come from experience.

Is this something a junior developer would be required to do?

If not, at what level should one be at before attempting to gain employment as a Junior?

Thanks

You need to be able to code at least using procedural methodologies

hacking at a pre written script does not constitute the skill level of a junior developer. An employer wants the best he can get and by advertising for a junior role normally means that he is after someone with skills but maybe does not have enough work experience to make it as a professional developer. In return the employer pays less money but hopes you will bring something to the table

You will be expected to know PHP to a decent level.

A junior developer role is different from a trainee role
