Engineering Your Career: Marketing Yourself to Tech Managers | Chicago

About this event

Web development skills alone may not advance you up the career ladder. So how do you take your expertise or learned tech skills and turn that into a tech career?

And why is it that we ‘just like’ some people we hardly know? From celebrities to coworkers to the people we pass on the street or follow on social media, everyday we are aligning with humans that in many cases are virtual strangers.

These are people who are sharing their personal brand with the world through their work, opinions, dress, speech and art. And while it can feel intimidating, personal branding is an opportunity for you to take ownership of how you are perceived in the world and use it for your own benefit.

Join us for a panel of tech hiring managers and experts who will provide practical hacks to stand out as an applicant, navigate career opportunities in tech, and master your personal branding from all angles. They’ll share their personal stories along with proven strategies to finding mentors, building a resume, networking with others in the industry, and becoming a better technologist.

And if that’s not enough, they’ll be drinks too!
