How to prepare for the technical interview for software engineer roles?
I'm a rising third-year college student majoring in computer science and consider a possible career in software development.

I've heard that LeetCode is helpful, but as there are so many problems on the website, how do I know what problems to focus on? Are there any extra tips on the order or quantity of practicing LeetCode problems? How exactly should I take advantage of LeetCode to practice? Also, would appreciate if anyone has taken CodePath's technical interview class and share how helpful it is (or what aspect of it is most helpful). Thank you so much!

How do I start my career in technology?
I graduated with a bachelors in information technology of August 2024. For a couple of years I’ve been struggling to look for jobs in general, especially since I started my degree. I have done everything that I could imagine. I’ve been to a couple of career fairs, I have tailored and revised my résumé several times, I’ve tried to talk with hiring managers and even tried to prepare for interviews with no luck. I think I have applied to over 1000 applications over the past couple of years. Since 2023, I’ve had two unpaid fraudulent internships, I’ve had a few interviews, but they never made it to the second or third round and jobs either ghost me or end up being ghost jobs. At this point, I don’t know what else I can do. If anyone has any advice or can offer any jobs that would suit me, I would appreciate that. I’m looking for jobs that are mostly entry-level.
