Hrishi's course shows a high-level overview of what steps are needed to land a developer job. Whether you're self-taught, community taught a Bootcamp graduate, or finished Computer Science, the modules on his course made me realize that the small things are actually what make your profile stand out. From tweaking your resume to creating a portfolio and fine-tuning the README.md of your side projects for recruiters. Because of this course, I'm starting a new job as a Django developer with a nursing home startup. Thank you, Hrishi! More courses, please!
