Reborn in IT
summary
Based on a Southern California nonprofit program, the session gives concrete steps to jump into or pivot within IT: build a master resume and make targeted versions that win callbacks, prioritize real signals (open‑source commits, volunteer projects, CTF medals) over buzzwords, list specific respected certs when needed, and use corporate returnship programs (IBM, Microsoft) or stale job postings in education/health/manufacturing as entry points. Interview tactics include asking about training budgets, proving gaps as project blocks, and never exaggerating technical scope.
