Key Tips

  • Go for a more project-based approach (ie. try more projects/different types of projects)
  • Everything in college is very organized and the methodology is concrete. When starting a project make sure there is a clear gameplan
  • Try to be more technical during reviews to show your understanding of new concepts (even if they aren’t completely done yet)
  • Clear, concise and direct communication is very important when doing a live review or talking to a recruiter/interviewer. Rehearse pitches and focus on only showcasing areas of interest
  • Using agile methodology and making diagrams/visuals to support your ideas makes your vision more clear and organized and makes you more organized
  • Comments are very important in college to show mastery. Add more comments to PBL work
  • Community colleges classes are helpful to remove requirements in college
  • Recruiters look at your projects and technical skills rather than your GPA. More important to prioritize projects/technical skills. Take the time to learn how things from CSA can be translated to other areas
