About Event:

If you are looking for a new role in tech? A new role in a tech-adjacent industry? If you answered yes, then join PDXWIT and AWS for a mash-up of our two most popular events: How to Prepare for a Technical Interview and Get Hired Up.

AWS experts will host How to Prepare for a Technical Interview. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a better understanding of:

What to expect on the day of the interview
Approaches to navigate the coding test
Where you can find more information and resources

Get Hired Up provides opportunities to network with recruiters, along with organizations like Women In Cyber Security (WiCyS), the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), and Women in Big Data.

You will also have the opportunity to have your resume reviewed by experts - you must bring a hard copy of your resume. Experts will be reviewing resumes before and after the How to Prepare for a Technical Interview workshop.
