What's one thing that makes you different from other CS students you know?

If a classmate had to describe your coding style in three words, what would they say?
Here's the key question: What type of developer do you want to be known as? Frontend specialist? Data enthusiast? Mobile developer? Security-focused?
Your brand should align with your target roles. If you want backend positions, your projects and content should demonstrate backend expertise and passion.

What area of CS genuinely excites you most right now?
Look for the intersection of your strengths, interests, and market demand. Maybe you love data analysis AND have strong communication skills - that's a valuable combination for data science roles.
Your unique brand emerges where your abilities meet real industry needs.

What's one skill you have that most other CS students don't?
Consistency is crucial across all your platforms. Your GitHub projects, LinkedIn profile, portfolio site, and even casual conversations should reinforce the same professional identity.
If you position yourself as a mobile developer, but your GitHub only shows web projects, that's brand confusion.
