How Did You Stand Out When Applying for a Junior Engineering Job?

I think one thing to understand for the junior engineering roles is that a lot of companies understand that even CS majors just coming out of schools still don't know the practical information that they need to know on the job.

We're gonna move into salary negotiation in the second year but we have a real opportunity to spend some time on this because many people don't know what they want to do and they just pick a degree based on basically throwing an idea out there and seeing what their friends and family think of it if enough people say oh cool yeah you should definitely do
