Video Description:
In this, I break down five major mistakes that can instantly sabotage any junior developer’s chances of landing a real coding job. I’ll talk about how inconsistent coding habits, half-finished side projects, and a questionable online presence are some of the biggest turn-offs for hiring managers, along with one or two surprises you might not expect. If you’re serious about becoming a software developer, you’ll want to hear about these red flags so you can sidestep them and stand out from the crowd. This isn’t about shaming newbies. This is about leveling up and showing recruiters and hiring teams you’re serious.
