Be offer-ready in 30 days, not “someday after more LeetCode.”
The 30-Day Offer-Ready Kit for Computer Science Students shows you exactly how to pick a spike, build one flagship project, and turn it into interview-ready stories without guessing what managers want.
Built by a senior engineering manager with 15+ years of experience and over 500 technical interviews conducted.

What’s inside
Everything you need to run a focused 30-day sprint from “CS student” to “obviously hireable associate.”
This isn’t a list of random tips. It’s a step-by-step system I give to mentees: choose a spike, ship a stretch project, build a deep-work habit, and show up to interviews with real stories and numbers.
Choose your spike
A simple framework to pick frontend, backend, data/BI, or another lane and commit for 90 days without overthinking it.
Design a stretch project
Turn your spike into one flagship project you can ship in 2 weeks, then layer on “hard things” that interviewers care about.
Deep work & evidence
A daily 45-minute focus routine plus an evidence log that turns your grind into clear progress and interview stories.
Interview-ready packaging
README templates, demo script, and checklists so your work is easy for busy engineers to skim and say “yes, bring them in.”
Who this kit is for
If this sounds like you, this kit was built for you.
- You’re a CS student or recent grad who can code, but interviews still feel like a different game.
- You’re overwhelmed by what to study and want one clear 30-day plan instead of 20 conflicting threads.
- You want a real project and real stories, not just another checklist of problems to grind.
- You’re willing to do focused work but you want to be sure you’re working on the right things.
In other words: you’re serious about getting into the building, not just “preparing forever.”
Your guide
Senior Engineering Manager • 15+ years • 500+ interviews
I’ve hired and mentored students and new grads across multiple teams. I’ve seen what actually gets resumes pulled from the pile and what makes interviewers say “we can work with this person.”
This kit is the same plan I give to people I coach and it’s the plan I’d run myself if I were starting from zero in today’s market.
Use it well, and you’ll walk into interviews with a spike, a project, and a story that most candidates simply don’t have.
