#

it sounds like you know what u need

#

format is fine but too much non related experience and pretty much nothing to showcase technical experience

#

please remove that weather app project, its way over done and on too many resumes cus a lot of u are just copying tutorials

#

create more complex project with more modern technologies

#

can also do volunteering maybe

#

contribute to open source github projects (can google this more)

#

hackathons

#

how and where do u have experience with Java, SQL, and C++?

Definitely see that point on the weather app but felt having one more thing was better than nothing for the time being. I don't really just had courses with them in college.

#

right well theres really not much else to say 🤷🏾‍♀️ need better projects

#

as for the stuff u learned in college, judt really ensure u actually know it cus i know people who have bombed interviews cus they stuck technologies on the resume and then when interviewer asked, they were like 🤷🏾‍♀️

#

not saying that would be YOU but just make sure ur aware

Appreciate the advice definitely going work on some more/better projects! I did that this week trying a C# coding interview thing for a junior .NET position. Did not go good lol. I was going try to learn .NET and C# though and other front end stuff to put on there

yup. Dont worry about trying to learn all the technologies in the world but i would definitely get a good variety. I always recommend just doing like 3 full stackish projects cus it exposes u to everything that folks are looking for these days usually. A little front end, backend, work with APIs, databases

#

can create projects that solve issues, even if its done before, can be ur own take on it

#

can mess around with the infamous openAI

#

if u dont like frontend like me, any UI u make doesnt need to be the next instagram GUI but something to display data or whatever. Can be simple

#

also just take it one step at a time. I know in the past ive burnt out cus i was tryna do and learn 50 things at once
