To the Black Tech Community. They call me "The Jobfather" because I get people offers they don't want to refuse.

I have a personal mission to help as many Black people get new jobs in Tech as possible.

It's an amazing industry where we are severely underrepresented.
I've put together some resources you can use to help you on your Tech Job search.

A Spreadsheet of all the Remote Job Boards I could find:

And finally, they always say it's not what you know but WHO you know. As such I've compiled a list of Companies I can get you an employee referral at from a Friend of the network:

To get a referral, please fill out this form:

My team will reach out to you and make an introduction. There is no charge here, just us trying to build up the community and increase our representation in this amazing industry.

#BlackTechTwitter
I've helped 286 Black people get jobs in Tech since 2019. I helped 126 people in 2021 alone. I want to see that number climb to 500 next.

It's a Black Tech Takeover.
We're at 287 now*
I should mention that this is only applicable to those in North America.
And the UK*

Some definitions, some quick maths, and some truths.

A Thread/
Salary/Hourly rate: The guaranteed pay you're entitled to as long as you're employed. Probably the most important aspect of your comp package.

Medical benefits coverage: your employer, through an insurance company agrees to cover some or all fees regarding your health/dental.
Paid leave: Days off you can take without losing a day's pay. This includes vacation, sick, PTO, holiday, personal, bereavement, military pay, jury duty, etc.

Disability Insurance: a form of insurance that ensures that if you're unable to work, you'll still earn an income.

If you're currently working in Retail and you'd like a change in career but you're not sure where to go, I encourage you to check out a career in Tech. How you might go about doing that? Check the thread below for a quick guide for Retail workers to transition into Tech.
Before we actually get started it's important to get an idea of what your value proposition is. A Value Prop is a summary of what you do best and what you bring to the table as a professional. Break your skills down into two categories. Subject Matter Expertise & Transfer Skills.
Subject Matter Expertise (SME) refers to the retail knowledge you've gained over your time in that space. Things like Major players in the industry, trends, customer feedback, and experience. For example, I used to work at Future Shop (Canada's version of Best Buy)

If you're paying under $20. Don't you dare ask for a Bachelor's degree, let alone a Master's.

That's just disrespectful. Pay people what they're worth or do the work yourself.
