  1. 4. PROJECT - CAREER

Project Introduction (README Github)

Project Goal

This program aims to develop skills that prepare you for finding a job in tech.

The selection processes you are going to face can be as diverse as the companies. In this program, we compile the most important topics and the most common stages that we have identified in our experience, always trying to make it as up-to-date as possible.

In order to find a job you will need to acquire the knowledge and tools that we will share with you, in addition to what you can search for on your own with our guides. Also, you will put your skills into practice through activities and simulations of the selection process.

Milestones

1 - Career Orientation: Understanding the Job Market & Mapping your Career Path

At this stage, you'll understand the needs of the tech job market and some of the potential careers in your field of study. Having an understanding of where you are now and what is your desired career destination can pave the way for your future learning and development.

2 - Establish Online Presence

You'll learn how to navigate the online jobs market and build your digital presence. We'll guide you on how to build your LinkedIn profile, resume, and portfolio / Github profile. We will also share some insights into building a professional network.

3 - Application Process

You'll learn the steps of the job application process from the introduction meeting to the technical interview! You will practice your skills through assigning you a technical assignment and a mock technical interview.

Activities

The program has several stages (as usual: one milestone per week) that will allow you to prepare yourself for the job search, in each module you can find:

  • Content: Informative pieces on a specific topic. These videos, infographics, audios, etc are inputs that you can consult for the progress of the program through this Gitbook.

  • Workshops: each week you will have the chance to attend one career workshop, one per each of the project milestones.

  • Project deliverables as a result of individual activities: Dynamics that will lead you to reflection and will test your acquired skills to prepare for the job search.

  • Mentoring: Each week you will have space to interact with a mentor in small groups, to get support in each milestone and interact and learn from other students.
