1. I'm new in tech (coming from another background) but I have experience from other industries. What is the best to put in the CV?
2. I have no relevant experience in tech (no volunteering, or coding experience) what can I ad to my CV?
3. As a student, is there special advice for CV building?
4. In general, what do tech companies want to see on a CV? What is the market looking for on a candidate?
5. Do I really need to have a portfolio website to be hired?
6. How can I list my Open Source contributions on my CV?
7. Volunteering experience is relevant, but how can I list it without looking like I am pushing too far or filling in blanks?
