+              - Your resume and interview performance are more important than your projects.
+              - If you struggle to get interviews, polish your resume. You may submit your resume in #resume-review for review.
+              - If you get invited to interviews reliably but constantly get rejected/ghosted afterward, practice interviewing.
+              - Job descriptions are like a wishlist. It is common for a candidate to not tick every checkbox but still get the job. Just apply for the position regardless.
+              - Junior remote jobs are very rare. For more, see \`!remote\`.
+              - Depending on where you are, it is not uncommon for a junior to apply for 30+ jobs a week. See \`!junior\` for more details.

+              - Freelancing and starting a start-up is very challenging compared to being an employee. It requires more than just your technical skills. e.g. acquiring customers, marketing, etc.
