Keep you ego in check!
Having a healthy ego is one thing, but letting it run wild, acting like you were the master mind behind the .NET framework (replace with the technology of your preference) its a whole different game.
1. Accept that you are just entering the job market. What you lack in experience you can compensate with eagerness to learn, to collaborate, to make yourself useful. Be honest about it.
2. Keep it real during the interview. be yourself!. You may fool a hiring manager that its not experienced in IT people. But a seasoned manager in Software engineering will spot you a mile away.
3. Make sure your resume has zero BS in it. You must really know the things you are saying you know. Otherwise, you will make the biggest ridicule of your life if you are submitted to a technical interview. I have seen it many times.It hurts to see people do that to themselves.
Insider tip. If a SW manager calls you for an interview, it means that it has seen some degree of potential in you and its willing to take a gamble if the interview shows him that you do indeed have that potential. Don't fool yourself into thinking that somebody just realized that you are the next Linus Torvalds. It just means that they are willing to give you and opportunity. be appreciative when such rare gem its handed to you.
