So, you did everything you were supposed to. You got a degree, you went to a boot camp, and you have a portfolio.
You go to countless interviews, but still, NO JOB.
What gives?
Well, there’s no other way to say this, but if you cannot get hired, you’re doing something wrong, such as:
- You’re not technically skilled enough(hard-skills)
- You’re not good at interviews(soft-skills)
- You’re not a culture fit
The last one is the reason employers usually give people to not hurt their feelings instead of saying they weren’t good. If you ever get told this, ask them where you can improve for future interviews, they may give you actionable steps.
How do you find out if you’re technically skilled enough?
This can be a tough one, you have a degree and you passed all necessary courses to ace your boot camp, so, you should be skilled, right?
