Byte Size Breakdowns - Eventbrite Banner.png

Caroline Karanja and Mase Santos discuss why you should build your tech portfolio as a new techie! This is perfect for those who have just graduated from a bootcamp, wrapping up the school year or finished their #100DaysOfCode and looking for the next step in their career.

Some tips to start:

  • Participate in tech events (like hackathons and #100DaysOfCode)

  • Pro bono work for real life projects (be selective about what work you do for free)

  • Internships and apprenticeships

  • Put your portfolio online - either your own website, LinkedIn, or GitHub

Watch for more advice and answers to these questions:

  • How do I find tech projects that aren’t connected to my current job?

  • How do I document my skills and accomplishment while making sure to not break NDA?

  • What if I haven't worked on any tech projects yet? Where can I start?
