In my experience, companies tend to look for what you have done rather than what you simply know from a degree. Couple of suggestions maybe - - To start with, identify any specific individual or team projects from your courses and highlight them on your CV, instead of just listing the classes. - Look for small coding projects - talk to friends, family and neighbors, see if they know someone who might need help. It could be something as simple as helping a local club or mom & pop store to set up their first web page - start from there. - While searching, on the side pick an area of technology and get familiar with it. For example - if you are not hands-on familiar with various databases: download MongoDB, see if you can configure it, get it running, and build a sample project with it. Then maybe download MySQL, get it running as well and figure out the difference. You could look into web servers, CMS, AWS, mobile apps, and all kind of things. All these little bits you learnt and did will come in handy on your CV and, more so, if you do land an interview. |
