Building something for a demo will set you apart. Although we had one guy interview who wanted to show his giant old codebase which he had worked on for over a decade, we declined and he bombed tech questions especially lacking knowledge of new code features. So keep evolving your demos!
Same thing happened here. A year ago I landed my first developer role, I did incredibly well demoing my BugTracker. For entry level it was great. But now I'm gunning for mid-level roles and I tried showing off the same project. They weren't impressed as code was very junior esque with mistakes. So yes evolve your demos.
Showing code can be so dangerous, if your goal is to get the job. We were interviewing this guy that showed the interview panel a private project and he got ripped apart by varying opinions. Private projects are not always built like an "enterprise" application and are sometimes experimental, and some interviewers are very hard headed and think there is always one way to do everything. I think if you are showing code then see it as a screening for both the interviewer and interviewee. To be safe write an application which uses the most fashionable patterns.
Consultant with 30 years in the game. Most IT jobs I have endured involve toxic managers and leads. Get your certifications, know your skills, but be prepared to deal with the toxicity. There is almost zero emotional intelligence in corporate IT. YMMV
Just wanted to say this was a really great watch. Wish I had come across this a week or two ago, had a recent technical interview where I absolutely flopped on the basic C# questions :( But I have the experience now to do better next time
Los mejores recursos con los que me he topado, son los que tienen ganas de superarse y de hacer las cosas bien, y para eso este tipo de entrevistas no sirven para ese proposito que es encontrar personas con esta actitud.

I think the best approach will be to create a special demo project for that.

Would be great to know how we can use C# for freelancing.
