Day 65/100: Secret Weapon for Women and Non-Binary Engineers Looking for a New Role ๐ฉ๐ป ... Leopard.FYI! Here's the story of how I found it. I had gotten a referral to a role ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง. In an interview with the hiring manager, I made it to my last question for her: "Why are you interest in talking to me, and do you have any concerns about hiring me?"Leopard.FYI would refer to this as a "pulse check". I used this question as a tool to have a frank conversation with hiring managers about where I stood as a candidate in their eyes. She ultimately shared that I lacked some of the foundation in full stack software engineering that they were looking for, but she went on to recommend Leopard.FYI as a resource. Since applying to this free community that connects women and non-binary engineers with vetted companies with great cultures, I received multiple leads to jobs that fit the bill of what I was looking for. Although I didn't find my job through Leopard, I gained valuable interview experience through some of the leads it generated for me and received support and guidance from the community's team members. In the end, it boosted morale by making me feel like I wasn't alone in this search and sending applications into the void. I also barely scratched the surface in terms of taking advantage of all of the resources available in this community. Thank you Lexi Lewtan in particular for your support.#womeninstem #techcareers #techresources - Leopard.FYI reposted this

Day 63/100: Over 800 job applications later... Today is my first day as a Data Science Engineer at Disney! These are my top 5 tips for recruiting in tech right now: 1. Ask for help. Find a mentor! I also joined the Never Search Alone and Leopard.FYI communities, each of which provided support throughout this process. 2. Mindset - focus on what you want in a job rather than your fear of remaining unemployed. Saying yes to the wrong opportunity is a loss for everyone involved. 3. Simplify resume to the nth degree. Make recruiters' lives easier and get more interviews by being ruthless in cutting the fluff. 4. Don't waste time and energy applying for jobs that you are unqualified for. It's a competitive market, you'll need to be a competitive candidate. Instead, focus on what you are already good at! 5. Document your recruiting journey on some medium. It will connect you with others and encourage reflection and iteration. There's also the potential to build an online presence in your industry of choice. Best of luck to those recruiting, your silver lining will come through ๐ค #techrecruiting #techcareers #dataengineer - Leopard.FYI reposted this

A tip no one asked for but I'll share anyways because I'm just seeing so much of it! If you feel like you are a PERFECT fit for a role but aren't getting past the application stage, it's likely your resume. More often than not, I'm seeing resumes with oh so many bullets under each job. Too many bullets can indicate that you are not a structured communicator or good 'story teller'. How to adjust: Try and limit the bullets to about 5. If you feel that those 5 don't fully capture your achievements, section them off into themes or categories. *** I'd also recommend dropping all of your bullets into ChatGPT and asking it to consolidate or "make more concise" - Leopard.FYI reposted this

Senior Software Engineer

After undergoing mass layoffs with many others just 4 months into my job at Reforge, I became unemployed on October 15th. Very happy to share that yesterday I accepted a job offer from Ping Data Intelligence. I had a lot of support in my job search. I am so grateful to my family, friends and network. I shared my journey and updates regularly with friends (including people I worked with at Reforge and Grove Collaborative) and others. I was part of leopard.fyi which is an awesome recruiting community for women and non-binary folks. I also had other recruiters reach out to me in a supportive manner. With the amount of support I received from so many sources the job search process ultimately became very enjoyable. Thank you all so much, and thank you to the folks at Ping Data Intelligence for the job offer!!! - Leopard.FYI reposted this
