Earlier this week I did complete my resume and completed the overhaul of my LinkedIn account. We (my coaches and I) were working on the About Me section, and I noticed a huge change in views on my LinkedIn page after making all those adjustments in a matter of three days. So with the proper adjustments, I can honestly say it makes a difference. My coach made some suggestions to use specific terms to make sure that my page pops out, and that’s been very helpful.
I went through the course and I learned a lot. And this is the biggest thing I’ve learned--I didn’t really have too much experience in sales or tech at the time, but I learned that in interviews and things like that it doesn’t really matter. You do need to understand it (i.e., the requirements of the job and the tech field in general), but it’s more about how you story-tell. The biggest thing is painting the picture for people and just being able to have a good conversation with whoever is interviewing you.
My background has been sales my whole life until COVID happened, so I decided to become a behavioral analyst, which was a very stressful job. I work for Verizon now, and I’ve always been intrigued by tech. I saw Careerist, I did my research, and I also knew a person who had gone through the program, and I was really excited to be a part of it and just jump in.
