| This is just to give you an idea. Don't worry if you do not have all of these to show the employer. Sometimes if you think hard enough you will find close equivalents that can prove the same point. For example, if you do not have good qualifications from a top university, it is not the end of the world. Perhaps you worked on a very challenging project, or in your previous job were responsible for programming a very complex system? Each of these can potentially show the employer that you have good problem solving skills. |
| Alternatively, if you do not have several years of work experience, you can still improve your chances of getting the job by showing your English and communications skills at the interview, your ability to work well in a team, and your energy and motivation.Try to know yourself and your accomplishments so you can convince the employer that you are their man/woman. Be yourself at your best!
