Title: When I was 14, I started working at my Dad's workplace (he a mechanical engineer) doing embedded electronics design &#38; programming.  I did that until early 2009.  I had to quit that job since Dad retired and we moved away, but since then I've been doing freelance web dev &#38; programming (Python).  Unfortunately, because of my lack of connections, I can't really find enough work.<p>I realize that I'm no where near as good a programmer as most of you guys, but I think I'm a reasonably good Python dev w/ a lot more experience than someone fresh out of school.  So, how do I get a job?  How can I convince HR to look past my lack of college and to my actual programming skills? Right now it seems that any job I apply to doesn't even reply to my email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
