Would you hire me as an Entry Level iOS Dev based on my experience?

I just finished Udacity's iOS Nanodegree and now I'm looking for a job. While I apply, I've decided to learn more about Core Data and Animations with the books from Ray Wenderlich so I can make great apps.

My projects can be found on Github

Taco Button is my capstone project for the course, and is currently waiting in App Review so it'll hopefully be ready for download on iTunes by the end of this week.

If you have the time to review my code, please give me all your constructive critism. I just want to improve and become a better programmer.

I do have some questions about the work environment so the day I'm able to work, I'm prepared.

  1. Interface Builder or build UI's through code?
  2. Should I be prepared to write unit tests, what about UI Tests?
  3. I know MVC, should I know about MVVM?
  4. Data Structures and Algorithm's - What should I know?
    • I have Cracking the Coding Interview as study material
  5. Objective-C - I'm going through the Hacking With Swift book Objective-C For Swift Developers and Udacity's Objective-C for Swift Developers. Would it be worthwhile building a whole new app or even rewriting Taco Button in Objective-C?

Thanks for your time

In case anyone is interested, I found this free course on Udacity for learning Objective C for developers who already know Swift. Just a few lessons in, the course has been amazing: https://www.udacity.com/course/objective-c-for-swift-developers--ud1009

I have been thinking about the historical significance and the realm of possibilities with knowing Objective C, and came to an epiphany that at least with React Native, Objective C is both essential because React Native and several low-level hardware libraries require its macros, and conceptually valuable because it requires an understanding of memory management and helps cement some of the major concepts in Swift. Highly recommended for all Swift developers to know at least how to read Objective C and produce a small console application with a few classes.
