So, without further ado, let’s look at some real-life tips.
Diving into real projects not only sharpens your skills but also makes you stand out to employers.

For his most recent job search, his hobby projects caught the attention of potential employers.
“Two of the employers I'm talking to are very interested in my hobby work.”
Real projects give you practical experience that textbooks can't. They build your confidence and show employers you can apply your skills in real-world scenarios.

Networking is a huge benefit of hackathons.

For those considering hackathons, Brij’s advice is simple:
“Don’t stop participating in the hackathons just because you are not winning.”
This persistence helped him win and advance his career. Hackathons can be a great way to showcase your no-code skills and network with industry professionals.

Nadia da Silveira, a graphic and web designer, experienced this firsthand.
“I took the 'Descodifica-te' course at NoCode … The most important thing I gained from the course was the community we created.”
Nadia's experience highlights the value of community in learning.

A tip from Reddit user Alexpetrov helped him land his first developer job.
“If you are going to work as a dev, people don't need to know about any skills that are non-vital to the job.”
Keeping the resume short and relevant is key. Alex emphasizes prioritizing your skills and projects.
“Put up your skills first, then personal projects … then education, and maybe your latest … job only.”
Thus, by keeping your resume focused on one relevant digital skill, you can make a strong impression. No need to show your diversity. Leave that part for interviews.
