IMO you are good to go when you can say YES to all these points I have listed in my job-seeking list here.
You will also find useful tips on how to update your CV, which seems something you could need.
As far as hackathons go, do you have any tips for how to solve algorithims? I've tried a couple on Leetcode and even the "easy" level ones were hard for me to solve. I would literally spend 4 hours on ONE problem from FreeCodeCamp's algorithm section until I have to look at the solution.

The hackathon I participated was about creating a project of my choice and document it very well.
I never participated in a hackathon which requested some sort of solving algorithm problems (and I am also bad at it just like you described, tried leetcode a few times π ).

If you've never participated in a hackathon, now is the time to do so!
Even if you don't win, it's a gain in experience, a new thing on your resume, and something to talk about at a job interview! π twitter.com/hashnode/statuβ¦

I am sorry for not being a good help here.
No problem! I never knew you could pick a project to build. I thought it was just about algorithms. I'll look into that
There currently is a hackathon of the company I participated back then! Maybe this one is for you π
Thank you for the info!
