Chapter 13 – Tips and Tricks to Kickstart Your Software Engineering Career

  1. You should know at least 75% of the skills in a posted job position.
  2. You should only put skills on your resume that you have worked on at least three projects.
  3. True – you don’t need a bachelor’s degree to apply for software engineer roles.
  4. While waiting for an interview, one thing you can do is keep working on projects.
  5. A technical screening has smaller programming questions that are shorter to answer, while a technical interview will take longer to complete, and you will have to solve a problem within a certain amount of time.
  6. Something you can do after you receive the problem in a technical interview is ask clarifying questions.
