About this session

If you were counting down the days to Grace Hopper Celebration this year and disappointed it’s not happening, we are here to help. Join Skillcrush by PowerToFly for an hour built for early career women in tech who want the advice, encouragement, and real talk they were looking forward to. Instructor Tauri StClaire (who went from ten years at a front desk to a career in tech) kicks things off with a 30-minute session on what it takes to break in and build momentum once you’re there. Then career coach and Nationally Certified Résumé Writer Emily Christakis joins Tauri for a 30-minute Ask Me Anything, so bring your questions about résumés, job searches, career pivots, and anything else on your mind. You’ll leave with a clearer plan and two new people in your corner.

Key takeaways:

  • A realistic roadmap for breaking into tech or taking your next step
  • Résumé, interview, networking and job search tips
  • Direct answers to your own career questions during a live AMA

Tauri Stclaire

Enrollment Counselor, Instructor, and Mentor for Skillcrush Coding

Tauri’s “break into tech” story began at Skillcrush—and now she helps others write their own! After ten years as a Front Desk Admin, she made the leap into tech and now guides students through the Break Into Tech program with empathy, structure, and insight. A proud queer Latina, Tauri’s mission is to open doors for underrepresented communities in tech. When she’s off the clock, she’s cooking, hiking, or out on the dance floor.
