## Description

Tutorials are useful, but they do not always prepare you for job interviews or real development work. Hiring managers want to know whether you can debug code, understand requirements, use version control, work with data, build APIs, and communicate your thinking. If your projects still look like coursework, it may be time to build a stronger portfolio.
