Charlie Hofman - Mentor
"Being a mentor with Hire IT Professionals has been a great way for me to connect with the next generation of IT professionals. Hire IT Professionals learners are dedicated to their work, passionate about learning, and enthusiastic to share what they know with technical staff. I've really enjoyed our question and answer sessions- covering everything from office culture to how to build a Twitter bot in python. Mentors also provide resume and cover letter feedback, general career advice, and conduct mock interviews. The learners have put an incredible amount of time and energy into developing these skills, and it's always inspiring to help them get to the next level."
Nico Staple - Mentor
"Mentoring with Hire IT Professionals was an extremely rewarding experience. In just a few hours facilitating mock interviews, I was able to help learners improve this essential skill. It’s clear Hire IT Professionals is focused on ensuring positive outcomes for learners, and mentors play a key role in that. By sharing my own professional path, learners could hear first hand that there truly is no one way to enter the IT industry. By supporting this organization you can make a measurable impact on the next generation of IT professionals."
