Here is my recipe (YMMV)

- Love what you do, this is extremely important, although you have goals in mind, you should enjoy the process to reach your goals, this would make you work harder, and failure wouldn't be a big deal, as you enjoy it.

- Practice, solve useless problems for fun, sharpen your skills, until you become really good at what you do.

- Really know what you are good at, and what you are not, and don't be afraid of pointing out what you don't know, even to someone who is interviewing you, and always know why you don't know, and if you need to know what you have to do.

- At this point, have the mentality whenever you go to an interview, that they would gain more from hiring you, that you would gain from being hired by them.

- Profit!!!.
