The tech sector is a really exciting place
to work right now.

00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:25.358
Not only is it one of the fastest
growing sectors in the US economy,

7
00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:28.319
those jobs are also some of
he highest paying jobs.

00:00:44.919 --> 00:00:47.756
who are interested
in breaking into the tech workforce.

13
00:00:48.339 --> 00:00:51.676
That's why we created
Technical Interview Prep.

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:56.222
It's way past time to level
the playing field and give everyone

00:00:56.264 --> 00:01:00.518
the tools and support they need to ace
their next technical interview.

16
00:01:01.603 --> 00:01:04.147
When girls go to an interview process

17
00:01:04.147 --> 00:01:09.194
they should be confident about
their capabilities, their skills,

18
00:01:09.194 --> 00:01:11.529
and their career opportunities.

19
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.534
Don't be shy about what
you bring as an individual.

20
00:01:17.202 --> 00:01:19.788
Being a woman actually provides
a lot of value

00:01:19.788 --> 00:01:22.499
