Did you not have any jobs prior? Other than throwing in some coding questions, I have found interviews to be interviews.
> Both of my positions originated through connections my bootcamp made for me
I got my first part time programming job when I was a sophomore in undergrad through a friend I met in the CS program. He already worked at a small local company, needed help, and connected me with his boss.
The importance of connections I think is missed by many. It's not about someone giving you a job (though that does happen), but giving you a chance to interview.
