<v ->Study the career you'd like to be in, right.</v>

00:00:03.430 --> 00:00:07.040 line:15% 
Understanding those core fundamentals again is key.

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.900 line:15% 
And understanding the educational requirements.

4
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:13.200 line:15% 
And it's always better to have something and not need it,

5
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.470 line:15% 
than need it and not have it.

6
00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:16.800 line:15% 
Right, so have a degree, check.

7
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.550 line:15% 
Have certifications, check.

8
00:00:18.550 --> 00:00:20.320
Have the experience, check.

9
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.970
And the experience isn't always gleaned through

10
00:00:26.030 --> 00:00:28.120 line:15% 
employee means, right.

11
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.200 line:15% 
Experience can be working, volunteering somewhere,

12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.420 line:15% 
and you are shadowing someone who does things.

13
00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:37.400
Right, you're there, you're interacting with it,

14
00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:39.520
so you glean experience from that.

15
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.790
Personally, I read everything, right.

16
00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:43.720
When I come into a new environment,

17
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:46.080
or I'm planning, I assess the company

18
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.670
that I wanna be hired at,

19
00:00:49.670 --> 00:00:52.230 line:15% 
and really get to understand their culture

20
00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:53.800 line:15% 
and things of that nature,

21
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.860 line:15% 
to help better suit myself for the interview.

22
00:00:56.860 --> 00:00:58.240 line:15% 
Because you only have one shot.

23
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.050 line:15% 
Rarely do you get a second chance, so, you know,

24
00:01:02.050 --> 00:01:04.790
showcase where your skills are,

25
00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:07.410
and prepare yourself.

26
00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:08.600
Get to the interview early.

27
00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:10.630
All those kind of things really help.

28
00:01:10.630 --> 00:01:14.020
You'll want to show your personality.

29
00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:15.330
You only have a certain amount of time.

30
00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:18.570
Normally interviews are 45 minutes.

31
00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:20.540
You wanna show your personality.

32
00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:24.810 line:15% 
I know a lotta technologists are introverts,

33
00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:28.580 line:15% 
but we have to see how well you can work with a team, right.

34
00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:30.870 line:15% 
No one codes in a vacuum,

35
00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:32.320
no one does anything in a vacuum.

36
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:34.250
You may have to work independently,

37
00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:36.400
but you're gonna have to show

38
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.283
that you can interact with people.
