-: Study the career you'd like to be in, right.
Understanding those core fundamentals again is key.
And understanding the educational requirements.
And it's always better to have something and not need it,
than need it and not have it.
Right, so have a degree, check.
Have certifications, check.
Have the experience, check.
And the experience isn't always gleaned through
employee means, right.
Experience can be working, volunteering somewhere,
and you are shadowing someone who does things.
Right, you're there, you're interacting with it,
so you glean experience from that.
Personally, I read everything, right.
When I come into a new environment,
or I'm planning, I assess the company
that I wanna be hired at,
and really get to understand their culture
and things of that nature,
to help better suit myself for the interview.
Because you only have one shot.
Rarely do you get a second chance, so, you know,
showcase where your skills are,
and prepare yourself.
Get to the interview early.
All those kind of things really help.
You'll want to show your personality.
You only have a certain amount of time.
Normally interviews are 45 minutes.
You wanna show your personality.
I know a lotta technologists are introverts,
but we have to see how well you can work with a team, right.
No one codes in a vacuum,
no one does anything in a vacuum.
You may have to work independently,
but you're gonna have to show
that you can interact with people.
