About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Built a solid tech career but getting stuck at the interview stage?

The market has changed, and what landed you offers five years ago no longer cuts it.

Whether you’re in Product, DevOps, TPM, infrastructure, or security, this session shows you exactly how to get back in the game and start hearing “You’re moving to the next round.”

Is This You?

  • Your applications vanish into the Black Hole—no callbacks, no clues‍
  • Recruiters praise your resume, then disappear after the first screen
  • Posting labels you “too senior,” then another says “too junior”
  • You tweak your LinkedIn, unsure what works
  • Interviewers nod politely, yet the “sorry, we went another direction” email arrives
  • Each rejection chips away at your confidence and you’re not sure what to fix

If any of that rings true, you belong in this webinar.

✅ What You’ll Learn

  • How to explain your work in a way that’s clear, relevant, and easy to follow.
  • How to stay composed and show strong thinking when you get a technical or role-specific question you’re unsure about.
  • How to demonstrate leadership signals, even if you don’t have a formal leadership title.
  • How to avoid common mistakes that quietly turn off interviewers — like rambling, guessing, or overexplaining.
  • How to make your experience connect to the specific role, so the hiring manager sees why you’re a fit.

🧠 Who This Session Is Best For

  • Mid-career tech professionals with 5 to 15 years in engineering, DevOps, product, infrastructure, security, or data
  • Senior ICs, TPMs, or team leads who want to shift into hybrid or leadership roles
  • Talented pros returning from a layoff, career break, military service, or academia
  • Candidates who keep applying but stall at the résumé screen or first interview
  • Busy people who want a clear system and actionable feedback, not generic advice
