Hi! Would you recommend I do certification courses for frameworks or should I make some projects using them instead?

I am having trouble getting interviews for a job in software. I am a recent graduate and have very little experience at the moment.

Hi, I would recommend completing the certification course first, once you are familiar with basic knowledge about the technology, pls start working on a project where you can enhance your learning by utilizing that technology. Hope this helps!

I believe it's useful to do projects because we can utilize the theoretical knowledge that we learned and also create something meaningful. I suggest uploading your projects to a code repository (for example: GitHub, or GitLab) and thoroughly documenting them. Then you can include them in your resume and during the job interview you can tell the recruiters about them and present your both technical and theoretical knowledge about specific frameworks.
I keep my fingers crossed for your interviews!
