This is an interactive livestream for software developers and those in the software development sector.

Come and learn how people view your CV, and what people can tell about you. Start a conversation and have your questions answered

This is not about formatting and style, but the content, your branding, how to identify the value you deliver in your role, and why it is important.

When it comes to building a CV we're looking to answer two questions. "What is it I want?" and "What is it I can offer?". How we answer these questions depends on how successfully we can personally brand ourselves. We aim for everyone to be able to take away something tangible they can use to improve the way they think about their work and how that can lead to you landing your dream job.

If you work in software, architecture, or similar in the IT space then this is for you..
