What qualities does Revature prioritize in a candidate's portfolio?

Revature prioritizes evidence of coding skills in a candidate's portfolio because it directly relates to the technical capabilities necessary for success in software development roles. Demonstrating proficiency in coding through projects or contributions showcases a candidate's ability to write, understand, and apply programming languages effectively. This skill is fundamental in the tech industry, where practical coding knowledge is often a primary requirement for the positions that Revature seeks to fill.

While creativity in design and experience in team management may also be valuable in certain contexts, they do not specifically align with the core focus of roles that Revature offers, which are centered around software engineering and development. Similarly, while perfect academic grades might suggest strong theoretical knowledge, they do not provide tangible proof of practical coding abilities, which is what Revature emphasizes when evaluating candidates. Thus, a portfolio rich in evidence of coding skills is essential for aligning with Revature’s hiring priorities.
