Your Talk
Title: Compressing Decades into Weeks: How to Gain Years of Practical Real-World Experience the Fastest Way Possible
What your talk is about: Breaking into tech, whether you're a student completing a degree or a professional switching careers, can be a Catch-22. The dream jobs you want require years of experience.
But how do you get the job experience necessary if nobody wants to hire you because you don't have any experience?
The job search process can be a very frustrating when you know you can do the job but keep getting disqualified because you don't have the years of experience.
It's time to fix this.
This talk will show you how to gain years of practical, real-world experience the fastest way possible and help you land that dream job you've always wanted. Drawing from my personal experience of breaking into tech without a computer-related degree nor certifications, I'll share the hacks I learned the hard way to bypass the "years of experience" requirement in tech job postings.
How long will your talk be?
