"When networking, find out what kinds of problems an organization is facing. When interviewing, explain how you are the solutions to those specific problems." - Jesse Calder On Wednesday, Joshua Johnson and Kerry Black conducted a SOTF Transition Workshop in Seattle, generously hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Britnie Clark and SOTF Alum Nicolas van Tulder put it together, and the day was flawless! We kicked off the day with an in-depth look at PNNL's day-to-day life, including company culture, roles that best match our Fellows' skills, and the type of work the Lab does. Tim Babcock, Seán J. Kreyling, Lauren Smith, and Kevin Gorecke shared their time and expertise with us. We began the afternoon with SOTF Alum Galen Takamura, of 8x8, Aaron Hansen M.Ed. of Visa, and Chris Whitmer of Boeing. Each of these panelists shared where Fellows would be best fit in their company and the opportunities available. Our third session focused on Jeremy Babcock (currently hiring at JFrog!), Joseph DeLuca (also currently hiring at Amazon), and Microsoft team members Ian M. and Jesse Calder. As a result of this workshop, Fellows have already found themselves recruited by the individuals and companies who joined us! The potential that arises from these workshops is indescribable, and we owe it all to the industry professionals who share their time with us. The Fellows in high demand from this workshop are: Eddie Langford, Robert Hanley, Florian L., Austin King, Matthew Root, Benjamin T., Ben Watson, Ivan Hernandez, and Jorgen Smith. Connect with these talented guys before they're off the market!
