“Gabe assisted me in landing my first paid job in tech despite having no experience in the tech industry. During graduate school, I began painstakingly searching for tech jobs on my own and spent countless hours scrutinizing every word on my resume, catering to job descriptions, and submitting more than 30 resumes without being offered a single interview. I no longer wanted traditional jobs in my field but did not know what else I could do with my degree and feared my experiences would not be valued by tech employers. After a while, I surmised that my skills were not translating to tech and looked to Gabe for support. Gabe asked important questions about my interests, skills, prior employment, and future goals. Then, Gabe expertly translated my aspirations into real tech job titles and open positions that I didn't know existed. With Gabe's feedback and direction during multiple one-on-one coaching sessions, my resume confidently spoke to tech employers. Further, Gabe's insider knowledge opened my eyes to the tech landscape, its culture, expectations, and most recent directions, which I used to hone in on specific companies. During interview preparation sessions Gabe taught me the language, context, and strategy to successfully vie for and land my first tech role. As a Latina first-generation professional, I needed support to uncover hidden rules to landing a job in tech. Gabe was vocal and intentional about using his extensive expertise in tech talent acquisition with a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) focus to serve people of non-traditional backgrounds. Gabe reassured me that my perspective was missing, valuable, and much needed in tech. Gabe's mission was to get me, and many others, through the door at a tech company in order to increase inclusivity in the workplace for the benefit of all. I highly recommend Gabe, passionate and gifted at supporting every step of the way, to anyone coming out of graduate school and seeking a career in tech.”
