What Employers Actually Check
How a technical CV is really read, what a portfolio has to prove, and where a certification helps and where it does nothing. Written from what hiring processes screen on, not from what course marketing says they do.
What's inside
- The two screens every application passes through, and what each one is looking for
- Portfolio: why three finished things beat eleven tutorials, and what "finished" means
- The README that decides whether anyone runs your project
- Certifications — where they genuinely open a door, and where they are a tax on your time
- How to describe a project so a non-specialist interviewer can see the work
- The four questions almost every technical interview contains, in some form
Educational material. Hiring practices vary enormously by employer, country and role, and nothing here is a prediction about any application or a guarantee of employment.
