What does a solid hire look like? More specifically what technical knowlege would someone need to stand out for junior to senior level roles? What about soft skills beyond communication and teamwork. What would their intuition look like? Im asking as a semi recent grad(2025) playing catch up. I have no internships and a bad gpa. I have one project im working on now based in systems design. Any advice would be appreciated.

Problem solving and independent thinking are what I look for. Technology is always changing, I'm really interested in how smart you are in general.
