💡 Pro Tips

🎯

One great project beats ten mediocre ones. Depth over breadth. Recruiters want to see you can ship something real, not that you started a bunch of tutorials.

📝

Tailor your CV for each application. Use AI to adapt your bullet points quickly. The same CV for every role is leaving offers on the table.

🚀

Start applying before you feel ready. You'll learn from rejections. Every interview makes you better at the next one. Waiting until you're "ready" means waiting forever.

💻

Portfolio > grades for most tech and creative roles. What you've built matters more than what you scored. Start building things people can see and use.
