Gonna keep this as brief and direct as possible.

I am trying to create a presentation on the subject of How To Ace Your Very First Software Engineering interview for the seminar which I'll be conducting in my former college. The target audience will mostly be students of senior year. The purpose behind all of this activity is guide students in about the whole process without facing the extra grind. Because this my first intance where I'll be delivering any sort of seminar, I want to avoid as many mistakes as possible. Hence, I need the help from the awesome community of Dev.to.

I've already compiled a list of topics which I want to cover in the seminar. Here's the list.

Besides this, I also want to share your stories within the context of following questions:

• Which steps did you take for interview prepping in terms of technical and soft skills?
• What sort of challenges did you while giving interviews at run time?
• How did you cope with failures after getting rejected by the companies?
• Tips for effective writing resume/CV
• Any type of discrimination you faced during the hiring process ** in the form of sexism/racism/ something else? (For this, input from people of color, LGBT community and women will be really appreciated**).
• How to effectively engage with recruiters and HR managers?
• How much does networking impact on the whole job hunting process? Was it helpful in your case

By covering your experiences, I'll be able to reduce tunnel vision of my own and deliver maximum objectivity.

P.S: Feel free to add anything which I haven't mentioned yet you it find important
