Would add that students should "open source" showcase their work - especially CS students - host your code on github, participate in open source projects, participate in stackoverflow... so you can showcase your real working code to employers rather than writing code on whiteboards during interviews.
- zheng 13y agoI think this is huge for CS grads, and I would add to not overlook a blog/SO as it can really showcase your ability to discuss and explain technical topics. I can never write a blog post because every time I try I end up with an outline for a 9-part series explaining everything I've ever learned tangentially related to <topic>, but SO gave me the focus needed to showcase some of my communication abilities. I know that helped me at least get noticed by companies.
- ceekay 13y agoGreat idea, plus with beautiful, idiot simple tools like medium.com its so easy to write a blog today.
