@Pixiestiks against someone with kids. Just a heads-up on that. Women experience it all the time in tech and I hear things that lead me to believe all engaged parents run that risk although you probably don’t want to be there anyway..so maybe flaunt it?? I hope some of that was helpful! 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@Pixiestiks As a dad, I’m super proud of my kids but I don’t usually put that role on my portfolios/sites. People will learn that identity about you as time goes on. In reality, there are jerks out there (as @dhh) has called out who would discriminate [5/] 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@Pixiestiks is super important at my house. Well, I sometimes go…it depends on the topic. But it’s not a regular thing for me. But, however you network, it’s important to have that “portfolio” with context as the thing to point people to when you meet them. [4/] 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@Pixiestiks Once that is done (and you can use http://medium.com or a personal site or even LinkedIn), hit up recruiters. You can meet them online or in-person at meetups. I personally don’t go to meetups because I too have kids and family time [3/] 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@Pixiestiks (drawings, models, UML, whatever) and how you solved it. Then discuss how it moved you forward and what you’ll take from the experience. Also mention what you did on it if it was a larger project with multiple people. [2/] 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@Pixiestiks OK (multipart ahead): I tell my students to have a portfolio that tells the story of the thing you built, not just the thing…so pick 3 or 4 projects and write a few paragraphs about each that say what the problem was, how you approached it [1/] 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

Reviewing my last #chi2019 paper. It’s nice to see my .@EubieBee student’s work being cited in multiple papers and I’m essentially “et al”. 🔄 1 👍 8 Original URL

@Pixiestiks Do you have a portfolio site? Have you talked to recruiters? Are you on Linkedin? Those would be good steps to move up. When you have something, let me know…I’m happy to look at it. 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL
