If I gave you any interview tips, it would be the result of a google search that I'm sure you've already done. But I hope I can provide some other ideas. I'm in Florida, USA so I have no clue if what works for me in my part of the world will work for you, but here's how I got my first 2 jobs after transitioning from social work to software.<p>First, network as much as possible. I primarily used meetup.com to find events where I could meet people. You don't have to limit yourself to only software-related meetups, either. You can bring a lot of value to the other people at an event because you're the only software person in the room.<p>Second, stop applying to jobs, and start stalking companies. Rank every single company in Cork (and anywhere you're willing to relocate to) that needs what you have. Decide which ones you really want to work at, and stalk them. Learn about the company, the leadership, the team you might work in, and the technologies you would use if you worked there. Find out where they hang out, and start hanging out there. Ask for an informational interview. These can be way more powerful than a formal interview.<p>Third, once you find out what technologies your favorite companies use, start learning those. It will give you a focus and purpose to your learning which will make it more joyful and productive.<p>Applying for jobs always felt like a slow death to me. I hated it. I call my method "Company Hunting" because you're not just looking for a job, you're looking for an entire company to be apart of, and to add value to. It feels much more focused and intentional to me.<p>PS if you feel you really need help with your resume, interview skills, etc, you may consider paying for a career coach. If you land a job 3 months sooner because of them, think of that career coach as giving you 3 months of salary.
