Tip 1 : DSA is the key. Starting from scratch, one can become proficients in a couple of months.
Tip 2 : Solve questions just a bit outside your comfort zone. Solve too easy to too hard questions is not of any use.
Tip 3 : Be consistent, make a habit of following good coding practices.
Tip 4 : Get to know the ins and out of your projects. You must be very confident while explaining those.
Tip 5 : Don't just directly to system-design, brush up on OOPS principles, networks, OS, DBMS before that.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Keep it crisp and to the point. Make bullet points.
Tip 2 : Bold the things you want to be paid attention to. Use numbers rather than vague sentences.
Tip 3 : Only put the things you are confident about.
Tip 4 : Don't put things irrelevant to the job, it only dilutes the main content.
