🔥 Learnings of the week

In this week's learning, our mentor- John Apostol shares the 3 tips to increase your chances of scoring a position as a Software Engineer. Let’s go 🚀!

1: ✨ Tips for landing a career

• Reflect on your thinking process through your portfolio on how to solve a problem in a quick manner

• Demonstrate through a project how your code can solve a problem

2: ✨Hiring criteria from Manager’s perspective

• Proven learners: show your effort to learn, share your past learnings

• Responsible people: towards your work, your team, your clients

• Conscientious: reviewing own code, proactively helping team members

3: ✨Strategies to get hired

• Apply to a company you know personally
  The advantage is you could talk about the product from the user’s perspective.‍

• Apply actively to unpopular companies
  You are more likely to get into the resume phase due to the lesser number of people applying to these industries.‍

• Apply to hidden gems ‍
  Hidden gem companies (local/regional companies) usually have no marketing budget. They need a software engineer to maintain their products.
