Why would experienced tech professionals seek career help? We just wrapped up another 4-week Career Mentorship Program for our Software Architecture students. These are people who have been in R&D environments for years (10+) and know their stack backwards and forwards. So why are they there, getting coached about how to take their career even further up? In a nutshell?  Regularly updating your knowledge is essential for staying relevant, competitive, and appealing to potential employers in an ever-changing job landscape. After mentoring hundreds of students and guiding them to their next professional goal, here’s what we’ve discovered: 1. The best make sure they stay the best: What we hear most from our students is, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” These people are high caliber enough to understand that thinking you know everything is a sure way to mediocrity and they want to make sure they stay ahead of the curve. Who better to learn from than mentors from top companies such as Meta and Cybereason, who have been doing exactly this for years? 2. The new world of hiring: Some of our students have been in the game for a VERY long time. We’re talking 10-20 years. That’s a ton of technical experience gained, but it’s also a time when quantum changes have happened in the hiring world, and they need someone to help them catch up to these changes. 3. They understand titles aren’t everything: Some people make the mistake of assuming titles alone are enough. Not our students. They know that they must also effectively communicate their value in other ways in order to not only be considered a relevant candidate – but also become the no-brainer choice for the hiring company. If you’re a tech professional who considers yourself a top-performer, we want to talk to you about joining one of our next technical training programs. Let’s see what we can do together! 🙌

It’s Career Week at Red Hat! No matter where you work, it takes thought and effort to align your career goals with your company’s goals and needs.
