Issue #18 BreakIntoTech with Peter Ayeni.
Ever Tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. - Samuel Beckett
Welcome to #18 of BreakIntoTech with Peter Ayeni. Inside Free Webinar, Top Articles and opportunities from across the web. Enjoy.
One of the most common questions I have heard during my various workshops of BreakIntoTech, mentoring sessions, and in my, DMs is getting the first job in tech. And I understand this is a sincere concern, and it doesn’t matter all the work you put into learning a tech skill; if you can’t be gainfully employed with it, then what’s the purpose?
In this session, I will be giving insight into what you might have been doing wrong and what you can do better to land your first job in tech. I will also be answering your question and also go deeper into how to take a different approach to applying for jobs and preparing for interviews.
