Tech

Hey I've been studying and using various tech and programming frameworks for years. I don't know the best way to leverage my experience to recruiters and I'm afraid of choking in an interview and not getting a job I really thought I wanted. What have been some tips and advice you received that helped you push past your anxieties? I feel like I'm starting from nowhere when I read job descriptions online for code debugger or data infrastructure engineers. I run a self hosted server and I'm proficient in terminal and diagnosing errors through logs. Would recruiters be interested in hearing the ways I solved problems more than my applicable education? Also does anybody have stories of job fairs that went well or went bad?

If this isn't topical to c/tech let me know and I will post this somewhere else
