🎓 How to Land Your First Job in Tech 🚀

Just wrapped up an insightful conversation on Tech Insight 🎙️ about breaking into the tech industry. Here are my top 3 rules for students and grads looking to launch their careers:

1️⃣ Start Early – Don’t wait until graduation. Begin networking, polishing your CV, and applying for internships in your first or second year.
2️⃣ Find a Mentor – Someone who’s walked the path can guide you through the maze. Mentorship is a game-changer.
3️⃣ Get Industry Experience – Whether through internships, research papers, or volunteering, real-world exposure beats grades.

💡 Bonus tip: Build your personal brand on LinkedIn and GitHub. Don’t just say you’re a fast learner—show it through learning posts and open-source contributions.

🙌 You can’t control the job market, but you can control how much you grow. Stop complaining. Start building. Your future self will thank you.
