5 Projects You Can Build In A Week That Will Get You Hired

I have been asked hundreds of times which projects are the best for building a resume, so in this video I decided to finally answer the question by explaining the five best projects for building a resume and landing a job. I even used three of the five projects on this list to land my first job and I was told countless times that the reason I received job offers and interviews at many companies was because of the projects on my resume. The best part is any of these projects can be built in a single week so you can start applying and landing jobs sooner.
🧠 Concepts Covered:
- What companies are looking for in resumes
- Which projects are the best for getting hired
- What skills you need to get hired
- How to build projects that will get you hired

[@karaokewaala9107]

@@christopherfiorentino6552 Have you ever seen those KZbin videos embedded into the website, they're using an Api to do it. Or have you ever seen an option saying "sign up with Facebook" or "sign up with Google" on any website. They're using an api too.

[@ankitchoudhary3288]

API can be considered as a vehicle through which data can travel across our application architecture. APIs can be used to communicate with external applications also. GoogleMaps API, KZbin API, etc. are some of the common examples of such APIs.

@@yt-sh Learn as much as you can as well as you can. Don't rush. Take your time. Learn a library/framework and get good at it. Then move on to the next. You'll find that there are similarities in the popular ones that will make each new one easier to learn. Most importantly, don't get too caught up in all the technologies and languages. At the end of the day, they're all just tools and you're the one who uses them to accomplish a task. The more you use your tools the better you become with them. Lots of luck to you! :-)

Trust me guys, no project will get you hired unless it's built and currently being used by an actual business or organization. So go around and find a real company where you live.

100% true about what you said on game polishing! Developing the engine can take (hypothetical) three weeks, then developing the UI and making sure it functions on top of your engine can take almost twice as long if it's your first game project! If you do decide to make a game, keep your chins up and just power on through! You'll be surprised how much you learn just getting buttons to work properly. :)
