The warm-up for the event was a short Kahoot game, which smoothly led students from silly questions to institutional ones. Right after the game, two speakers from Silicon Valley Daniel Low, the Engineering Manager at Amazon, and David Wise who is a full-time software engineer at Facebook (Meta) came to the stage. Each of them presented themselves and besides sharing their professional career achievements, both shared their path to IT and hobbies, Daniel Low is managing his own YouTube channel (Hackerdad) where he shares some tips and hacks, the latest video on the channel is dedicated to mining crypto from Tesla, it's super exciting! In turn, David gets carried away from chess and running marathons.

Further, both speakers led the seminar in a professional direction, where they shared important tips to create a solid resume for a successful interview in IT, Daniel and David have huge professional baggage in the IT sphere, and each of them has interviewed hundreds of candidates while worked at Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Amazon. Mainly, their tips were focused on IT students, however, we collected some information for everyone willing to pass the interview without any accidents.

The first and very important tip is an order in your CV to stick to rule 1/3 regarding font size, the summary section is one of the most influential parts of your CV, it should be clean and clear for the interviewer. What concerns about an in-person interview you have to be calm and always remember that you should not rush into solving the problem because it leads to the creation of the new problem.
