Talk: The current IT/Cyber Landscape

Description: Navigating today’s tech hiring landscape can often feel like trying to crack an impossible puzzle. To help you break through, joining us now is someone who brings years of experience from the front lines of IT and cyber to show you how to aggressively differentiate yourself. He will break down the essential steps to landing that first role— or getting back into the field, from optimizing your resume to the true power of networking—while reminding us why stepping back to protect your mental well-being is critical for long-term success.
