I'm the freelance web developer at the Year 9 (age 13-14) careers fair on Friday. I've googled for infographics to put on my table but they're too full of tech jargon and stereotypes so I've tried to make my own 1 page version. What am I missing? (apart from 'what do you earn?' obvs)

I'm going to throw a bit of a curveball here: I remember talking to a good developer who said there were 'creative developers' (love new languages and projects) and 'elegant developers' (love systems and efficiency) - there is a need for both but they are different mindsets

The only thing I’d think of throwing in there is something about how the end product can tangibly help organisations - eg promoting products and services, improving processes, helping capturing data, reaching new customers, saving time, improving accessibility etc.

Looks great 👏🏻 Only thing that struck me was ‘scoping out’, my 13yo didn’t know what it meant but TBF that might be down to too much Fortnite. I don’t have a decent alternative either
