How did you deal with the interview / presentation itself, in terms of speaking and confidence? And how did you practise to get better at speaking infront of people like that. Also, was this a virtual interview? Jazakallah khair
@@programdeveloper I highly recommend you check out this video I regards to things like body language etc in an interview: ruclips.net/video/XnJ3rUJoooE/видео.htmlsi=oG3YpW7Wfvx6qKax However, to summarise some of the points discussed in that video: 1) prepare answers to the most commonly asked interview questions 2) research the company enough to be able to answer the basics 3) body language, use your hands to seem more confident and expressive 4) trial and error Akhi. Just do a lot of interviews. Practice makes perfect. The more you do them, the easier the interviews seem. Yes, my interviews were all online through zoom/teams because I was doing them around COVID time.
@@ManalHassan-zf6xt وعليكم السلام ورحمه الله وبركاته I did a few little things such as 'code institute's 5 day coding challenge' and bigger things such as full java udemy courses. There's also a medium sized qualification AI qualification I did made by university of Helsinki. Some other things I did to improve my chances was read computer science related books such as 'Life 3.0'
WaAlaykum Salam Akhi, I used to think you should aim for the courses that provide certificates which still is the case if you can but what's more important is any experience you can get in the field e.g if you are aiming for a software apprenticeship, then fill your CV with as much software experience as possible wherever you can get it.
@@ZDL679 tbh I have no LinkedIn tips at all. I'm sure you can improve your chances by having a good profile and making prior contact but I'm really not the right guy to ask. But please let me know how that works out for you insha'Allah.
Salam brother, I really want to do what you did which was going into a DA which provided accommodation for its apprentices can you please tell me how you did it ,the company that you did it with as well as other companies that do.As well as how you found your experience with it
@@subza9592 WaAlaykum Salam wrbt. I don't think any apprenticeship will offer that. Even mine doesn't anymore since that was more of a COVID thing. You'll have to ask around but you are most likely going to have to look for private renting like normal.
@@subza9592 move or find accommodation is the same thing? No company will give accomodation. You will most likely need to move. And yes it's worth it to move because your salary should cover the rent + expenses leaving you enough to save.
@@maaahhhdi I’m currently in Year 13 and had planned to follow a similar path as you. However, I’m wondering if taking a few years off after working for a company might negatively impact how employers view your industry experience.
@@The_Mysterious_Wanderer it can depending on how you spent that time away. In my case I plan on either contributing to an open source project or creating my own project so that I can show a future employer that although I wasn't formally employed in that period of time due to my studies abroad, I was still honing my skills.
I have a very basic level of python knowledge right now, I don't have a CV and I want to do a software engineering degree apprenticeship. Is it too late now that applications are opening soon. Right now I am doing the Harvard CS50 introduction to Python. What do you recommend, please brother I am feeling a bit helpless right now
@@Delacroix0402 There's still a while before the bulk of them open up which is late October. Unfortunately everyone knows basic python so it probably won't set you apart since it's apart of GCSE and A-level computer science content. I heard a lot of good things about Harvard cs50, but you you should focus on picking up an object orientated language like c# or Java.
@@maaahhhdi Thank you Mahdi for your quick and thoughtful response, Allah yubarik. I am going all in and focusing on learning Java. Should I save my Java projects in Github? I really want to do this, I'm not wasting anymore time. I will keep you updated, have a great evening!
@@Delacroix0402 if you can save your projects on GitHub, that will be really good to show your enthusiasm and your professionalism from early on. It's definitely a good idea.
Allahuma barik i found this very beneficial JazakAllah khair, please upload more 🙏
nice video really helpful jazakallah khayr

Asalmu aleykum,
Can you post the names of the short courses that you took to improve your CV before applying

Salam brother, what would you recommend in terms of making your CV stand out, particularly in terms of virtual work exp or any online courses?

@ what about adding a GitHub url to their cv is this standard practice you see with a lot of applicants trying to get a coding apprenticeship.
@@maaahhhdiis it standard practice for applicants to add a url of GitHub profiles for coding apprenticeship or is it a way for me to stand out

What's ur plan after ur apprenticeship?
@@B0ltzmann1 I'm trying to apply to scholarships to study Arabic abroad, I already got rejected a few times but that's just part of the process.
