Advice for Per Scholas Chicago alumni - always err on the side of over explaining. People are busy and can have short memories, so when you send emails be sure to remind people who you are and specifics about the roles you're interested in! #chicagotechtalent #jobsearchadvice #perscholasstrong #pschi

Wow, we loved hearing the passion and ideas coming from Day 2 of the Tech for Good Symposium! Dej'A Jones, Kelsey Briggs-Dineen, Anna (Hollitt) Witler, and Brandon Ruffin shared excellent ways to motivate teams to make an impact. We can't thank Madeline Hutchinson, Erin Stein, and Taylor Amerman enough for all the hard work and planning it took to bring an incredible group today. Now that we have new ideas it's time to get to work! #techforgood #perscholasproud #chicagotalent #techtalent #socialimpact
