Hi everyone! I'm currently studying engineering and I'm looking to improve my skills during my free time. Besides learning programming languages, what other ways can I upskill myself? I'm particularly interested in healthcare tech companies as I aspire to become a software engineer or data engineer. I also want to start building up my portfolio. Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

First off, work on your soft skills—things like interviewing and public speaking are really important. It's not just about technical knowledge; you also need to be able to communicate effectively. Check out the job listings for your target roles to see which technologies and libraries are in demand, and consider getting any relevant certifications that might give you an edge.
Totally agree! I just landed my first job, and I found that being able to talk about my experiences and projects was just as crucial as the technical stuff.
