Hello!
For the upcoming React Dojo event, we are running a different theme where we will be hearing from experts within our industries on how they achieved their success. They will share with us the mindset they had and share with us some tips and guide to navigate within this exploding industry. Tips such as how to prepare for the interview and what interviewers will look for.
This meet-up will not be hands on, but definitely bring a note pad as there maybe some nuggets to help you break into the tech industry!
