What Types of sessions are there?
Right now we offer two types of sessions:
One topic per Saturday: It will take you 4 weekends to complete the interactive learning program. This is typically geared towards those looking to take their time when learning something new, gives more time for learned information to sink in, and allows for further exploration of that technology before the next session.

One Topic per Saturday: Each cohort will begin on the first Saturday of the month which will cover the Cloud topic. Second Saturday will cover Linux. Third Saturday will cover SQL. Fourth Saturday will cover Networking. The course starts at 11:30am EST to give those that are on the west coast a chance to sleep in on a day off. This is designed for you to learn the technology on Saturday, and gives you Sunday + the following week to try learning more/ask more questions.

Both programs will have no more than 10 mentee's at a time, and the number of mentees attending can vary. This is meant to provide an excellent learning experience where each of you get the individualized and personal attention you need to learn and grow, as well as a collaborative effort for mentees to learn from each other.
What are we expected to have to participate?
What are we expected to have to participate?
For the best possible learning experience, please have the following:
Computer/laptop: You can totally learn from a mobile phone or iPad, but please have a computer for the best learning experience. You will not be able to perform the project without a computer/laptop.
Zoom: This is the primary screen-sharing application that will be used to teach the courses and content.
Discord: This is the primary communication application that we will be using to discuss what has been learned, share documentation that helps overcome obstacles, and it also has built-in screen sharing capabilities so multiple users can share their screen simultaneously for troubleshooting and to show others what they are seeing. Please add my username 'Donnie#2684' once you have it downloaded (capitalization matters)
Debit/Credit card: This might sound silly, but in order to sign up for a free account with a cloud provider, you must have a payment method on file in the event the resources you provision incur a cost. We will be using only 'free-tier' resources so you won't actually incur a cost when learning.
If you have a Windows machine, there will be a free application that we will download, install and will use throughout the course. I will make sure to tell you which application to install during the Cloud Topic. All applications listed above are free to download/use.
When are the Resume, Interview prep, negotiation and career Readiness mentor sessions and what can be expected?
When are the Resume, Interview prep, negotiation and career Readiness mentor sessions and what can be expected?
There will be a 1 hour session talking about the topics below with the entire cohort, then it is best to prepare on those topics before registering for the Career Readiness Mentorship Program. The 1 hour session will happen following the Networking lesson. These 1on1 sessions can be scheduled on a personal basis, and it is up to the individual to schedule these if you would like assistance in a particular area. Don't expect to be perfect, come prepared to do your best!
Resume: We will go over an example of a quality, industry acceptable resume from one of my previous mentees, as well as show my resume to give you an example of how to structure your resume to be most successful. I'll also walk you through quantifying your resume and keyword optimization to give you the greatest opportunity to succeed.
Interview Prep: My speciality regarding interview preparation is for various roles within Technology companies. We'll discuss and prioritize the must have's for interviews such as your elevator pitch, strategies to answering questions, and strategies to 'control the interview'. If you are looking to get into the Consulting industry (especially Tech Consulting), I would like to get you connected with the person that helped me prepare for my consulting interviews, Christine Wong. She is the best in the business.
Negotiation: This topic isn't used as much in the entry level fields, however it is important to understand how to position your value when speaking with a company, in a respectful manner. The negotiation process begins as soon as you have your first conversation with the recruiter, so being prepared is important!
Career Path: Have your custom career path fully mapped out so you understand where you are capable of growing! We'll be sure to bring all options to the table so you can see where your potential can take you. Many don't know what area's they want to specialize in until at least a year in their technology career!
If for whatever reason I am not capable of providing you substantial guidance on a particular topic above, please let me know so we can pro-rate the cost of the program. For those seeking interview preparation from Christine Wong for consulting, also please reach out to me so we can get your first interview preparation session scheduled with her for free!
