Merit

With the layoffs going on this year I understand that there will be difficulty landing a job. What are resources a budding engineer can utilize (online courses, certs, projects, portfolio website must-haves, etc.) to help land a interview.

Responses

Having your portfolio and/or professional certificates may help. Not all certificates are equally useful, though. Depending on your desired position, cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc) certificates have value, as well as some professional certificates for web and backend development. While certification usually costs something, portfolio is limited by your time and skills.
