• Problem-solving — root cause tak jaana.
• Collaboration — team ke saath kaam karna.
• Curiosity — naye tools khud seekhna.

• Soft skills 30% time: Communication course, mock presentations, LinkedIn posts.
• Portfolio me dono dikhao: Code + documentation + storytelling.

SECTION 05Kya galtiyan nahi karni

• AI ignore karna: Jo AI use nahi karta, wo slow ho jaata hai.
• Ek skill par atak jaana: Balance zaroori hai — technical + soft.
• Business context ignore karna: Numbers ka matlab samjho.
• Portfolio nahi banana: GitHub + live projects + blog = fresher ka strongest asset.
• Networking skip karna: LinkedIn par active raho, referrals maango.
