For those who are mid-career, full-time professionals, don't be turned away from this episode! The advice and tips Ellie provides are applicable in most career hiring situations.
Ellie is open in sharing not only what Cloudflare is looking for in candidates, but she also shares some of her own experiences - specifically as a non-tech person getting into the tech space.
The tips and advice Ellie provides on writing your resume and interviewing are TOP NOTCH! She gives practical and applicable advice you can implement immediately. I especially loved her take on interviews. This episode is definitely a can't miss when it comes to career advice.
