🇬🇧 What Messi Can Teach You About Software Development Success
In this video, I draw parallels between Lionel Messi’s approach to soccer and our software development practices. Just like Messi sees the entire field and prepares for the game, I emphasize the importance of reviewing our backlog and understanding tickets before the sprint starts. I encourage you to take ownership during sprint meetings and be proactive in tackling challenges, even if it means passing the ball to a teammate when necessary. Additionally, I urge you to document your victories and share them through a Loom video and email to highlight your contributions. Let’s aim to be top players in our field!
🇬🇧 How to Present Yourself as a Senior Developer in Interviews
In this video, I share strategies on how to present yourself as a senior candidate during interviews, even if you’re at a junior level. I emphasize the importance of structuring your success stories and tailoring them to different audiences, such as HR, technical interviewers, and general managers. I also suggest that you can count your study time towards your experience, allowing you to claim more years in the field. My key advice is to write down your achievements and prepare variations of your stories for different interviewers. If you want more tips, just let me know!
🇬🇧 Elevate Your Interview Skills: Communicate Your Successes Effectively
In this video, I discuss why developers often undervalue themselves in interviews and how we can change that perception. I emphasize the importance of articulating our successes and skills confidently, rather than just answering questions with a simple ‘yes’ or a skill ranking. I encourage you to write down your victories and practice presenting them in various timeframes to adapt to different interviewers, whether HR, technical, or management. By doing this, you can elevate your self-presentation from a 2 to a 10, showcasing your true expertise. Remember, effective communication is key to demonstrating your value!
🇬🇧 Become a Tech Reference in Your Niche!
In this video, I share how to become a tech reference in your niche, which is crucial for job interviews. Even if you lack certifications or extensive experience, I explain that you can establish yourself as an expert by creating a project, like working on Drupal 11. The key is to have a sandbox where you can showcase your skills and knowledge. I encourage you to take action and start a relevant project that highlights your expertise. By doing this, you’ll make yourself a desirable candidate that HR will want to hire immediately.
