Hi everyone,

I’m a complete beginner to programming and want to start with Python and AI automations, with the ultimate goal of becoming job ready and landing my first tech job in next one year

I can dedicate around 4 - 6 hours a day and want to focus on practical skills rather than just completing courses or collecting certificates.

Anthropic users are now seen cancelling their AI subscription for the AI generated content. Everyone is thinking about how to solve the new problem.

I spent around four months applying for jobs and going through interviews, and honestly, most of my improvement came from changing how I prepared.

I stopped using the same CV for every role and started making different versions depending on the job. I also kept the format simple so the important stuff was easy to find.

Before interviews, I would usually look up the interviewer on LinkedIn and spend some time reading about the company and the role. It made the conversation feel a lot less random.

The biggest thing for me was preparing answers for common questions instead of just trying to wing it. I would write down a few points for questions about challenges, mistakes, achievements, teamwork, why I wanted the company, and why I wanted the role. so any tips for me

I've noticed that resumes in the U.S. tend to stand out when they focus on impact rather than just responsibilities. Quantifying your achievements, tailoring your resume to each role, and keeping only relevant experience can make a big difference.

If you're a student or recent graduate, don't overlook projects, internships, research, leadership roles, or volunteering , they can be just as valuable as full-time experience. A clean, easy to scan format also helps recruiters quickly understand your strengths.

These are a few tips that I think are worth considering if you're currently applying for jobs in the U.S. What other resume tips have worked well for you?
