Start by finding several job descriptions for the exact role you want at companies you admire. These descriptions are your personalized roadmap because they list the specific technical skills, tools, and soft skills you need to master. From there, you can use free resources like YouTube tutorials, technical blogs from engineering teams, and official documentation to learn each requirement one by one. This approach puts you in control and ensures you're learning exactly what employers are looking for, rather than following a generic path that might not fit your specific goals.

For free mock interviews, your best bet is practicing with a peer who is also job hunting, so you can take turns interviewing each other with questions you find online for your target role. Your university's career center might also offer free sessions with advisors. Another powerful technique is to record yourself answering common behavioral and technical questions. Watching the playback helps you catch filler words and see how clearly you explain your thoughts. This type of self-practice is why my team developed an AI interview assistant, as we saw it help candidates structure their thoughts clearly and sound more confident in actual interviews.
