The Job Hunt

In today's episode of 'The Job Hunt', I sit down and chat with Jonathan Javier, CEO and Founder of Wonsulting!

Today's episode marks the 10th - and final - episode of The Job Hunt Season 1. We end things with a bang as Jonathan walks us through his recruiting path, how he founded Wonsulting, and his personalized advice for the underdogs out there - students from diverse, URM, non-traditional, so-called 'non-target' backgrounds - who want to become winners.

In today's episode of 'The Job Hunt', I sit down and chat with Nicole Chen, a Software Engineer at Fivestars.

Episode 9 is for the students interested in software engineering and STEM! Nicole and I cover everything from networking and attending career fairs (and tips and tricks for standing out!) to interviewing best practices for software engineering and technical roles.

That being said, even if you're not STEM or interested in entering SWE, this episode is still a great listen for those interested in learning about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (in tech and beyond!), navigating career fairs, and dealing with impostor syndrome.
