๐๏ธ Complete Stack Summary
๐ก 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.
