A strong network often opens more doors than a resume alone.
- Attend meetups & hackathons: Communities like Silicon Grassfields regularly host events where you can learn, build, and connect with peers. These events are not just about coding — they’re about building relationships.
- Connect with mentors and peers: Alumni from your school, local developers, or professionals you meet at events can provide advice, referrals, and encouragement.
- Volunteer on projects: Even if unpaid, contributing to a community project gives you real-world experience and proves you can work in a team.
