Now there is also negative info out there too, but the average person sees these type of articles, the countless "testimonials", and her being supported by other big names in #BlackTechTwitter and you tell me what probably made them feel like it was a somewhat safe choice.
I guarantee they saw these and not your Tweets buried in your timeline.
Also, victim-blaming is exactly why so many people in our community never come out and talk about any abuse they have endured, cause there's always people like y'all waiting in the wing with:
Really encouraging.
Mary also told students to used MTBF on their resume & LinkedIn not as a bootcamp, but as an employer.
Dishonest.
She provided resume services which was just her using the same experience and information on every students resume and bullied those who didnt want to use those services.
Dishonest.
She told students to embellish their experience, added experience where there was none, and follow a script for interviews.
Dishonest.

Both LinkedIn and Indeed utilize boolean searches, which means you can use mathematical operators to improve your job search.
Sounds complicated? Well, it's actually really easy and I'll show you how.
👇

👉 OR to include one or more words

I do a lot of resume writing on the side for those who can't afford expensive resume writing services and need help transitioning into tech.

🧵
1. Your header should be simple. List only:
👉Your name
👉 Current city & state
👉 Phone number
👉 Email (use only a professional one with your name in it)
👉 LinkedIn (set one up if you don't have one)
2. You have limited space to tell an effective story about your accomplishments, so don't waste that space on a summary.
Use LinkedIn for more in-depth detail about yourself. 👍
