Mikaela Caron 🦄In this day with AI, and job searching, what are the top 3 skills you think a junior iOS dev should have without needing to look it up?
What are the essentials for landing a junior position?
zino@mikaelacaron been asking myself that for the decade of my tenure for the curriculum.
What you want is someone curious, trustworthy, and with the right methodology. Every other skill is learned in the course of doing the work.
So for interviews, i asked them to show me a failed project of theirs, maybe like their WoW guild, or a DiY stool, or a short movie they never released, and asked them to walk me through it from idea to certificate of demise, and grade them based of what they had to learn, from where, and why they decided to stop.
