Weekly Digest 10/21

Welcome to another great week! Let's get things started with a few announcements and reminders: 

 

Book a Coaching Session w/ Taryn 

Our new Career Coach, Taryn Asbury, is now booking 1:1 coaching sessions! You can book her via Prentus or the booking link included in the Learner & Alumni Resource Hub (linked below). 

 

Email: tasbury@uprighted.com

Discord: tarynasbury_32814

 

Guest Speaker Tomorrow - Mandi Walls: PagerDuty

As a reminder, we are excited to host Mandi Walls, Dev Ops Advocate @ PagerDuty, tomorrow at 6:00 EST. 

 

Mandi has an impressive background and you can learn more about it on her LinkedIn profile.

 

In preparation for the event, we encourage you to submit any questions you have for Mandi via our anonymous Slido link - Submit Questions Here. This is a great opportunity to get your career-related questions answered by an industry expert! The event details, including Zoom, are available on the Career Services Calendar. No matter what program you are in or completed, this is an excellent opportunity to gain insights from someone with an incredible background. 

Learner & Alumni Resource Hub

As a reminder, our Upright Learner & Alumni Resource Hub launched recently for alumni and it is launching TODAY for learners. This is a centralized space where you'll find Learner and Career Services Help Centers, Upright contact information, links to Prentus and your curriculum, career services booking calendars, and more. Within the Career Services Help Center, you will find job search best practices, job search material recommendations and resources, information on how to make this experience work for you, and more.

 

This is your "one-stop-shop!" 

 

If you have any questions or need guidance on navigating the hub, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!

 

Prentus Job Board 

Some of you may know that Prentus has a built-in job board, but did you know that it scrapes jobs across 100+ sources, including LinkedIn & Indeed, every single day? This is a major win not only because it pulls together jobs from multiple sources, but it also specifically targets junior positions (0-3 years of experience) that have been posted within the last 72 hours AND it removes jobs that have been posted for 30 days. If you aren't already monitoring this job board, now is the time to start! 

 

To see all of the jobs, be sure to unselect "my community only" and "employer partners only." You should always cast a wide net! Check out the screenshot below to see the filtering options.

Action Required: Updating Profile Display Names

To make communication smoother and ensure we can easily recognize everyone in our community, please update your Discord user profile display name to your first and last names. If you’re concerned about anonymity on other servers, you can simply update your “server nickname” within the Upright Server instead. This will help us all stay connected and ensure no one gets lost in the mix! If you're struggling to make this update, I recorded a brief tutorial here

 

Resume Template Reminder 

Have a great week, and remember, we're just an email or Discord message away if you need any help or support.
