đ How to Land Your First Job in Tech đ Just wrapped up an insightful conversation on Tech Insight đïž about breaking into the tech industry. Here are my top 3 rules for students and grads looking to launch their careers: 1ïžâŁ Start Early â Donât wait until graduation. Begin networking, polishing your CV, and applying for internships in your first or second year. 2ïžâŁ Find a Mentor â Someone whoâs walked the path can guide you through the maze. Mentorship is a game-changer. 3ïžâŁ Get Industry Experience â Whether through internships, research papers, or volunteering, real-world exposure beats grades. đĄ Bonus tip: Build your personal brand on LinkedIn and GitHub. Donât just say youâre a fast learnerâshow it through learning posts and open-source contributions. đ You canât control the job market, but you can control how much you grow. Stop complaining. Start building. Your future self will thank you. #TechCareers #GraduateJobs #MentorshipMatters #NetworkingTips #PersonalBranding #GitHub #LinkedInTips #CareerGrowth #InternshipOpportunities #SolutionArchitectShow #BenYu #TechInsight #JobSearchJourney #NZTechInsight
