About this event

Breaking into tech isn’t just about checking boxes -- it’s about grit, growth, and knowing your worth.

Join Akron Women in Tech and our allies for an honest, energizing conversation about how to land the job (and paycheck) you deserve -- whether you're just starting out, making a career pivot, or feeling underpaid and overlooked in your current role.

We’ll cover the real strategies women and underrepresented professionals are using to build tech careers on their terms -- even without traditional backgrounds.

🎤 Special guest Brooke will join us to share her story as a recent college grad who just landed her first Salesforce role. She’ll walk us through what worked, what didn’t, and how she stayed scrappy (and sane!) during the job hunt.

Expect real talk, actionable advice, and a community that gets it.

We’ll dive into:

  • How to turn your certification into a compelling story

  • What to say when you're ready to ask for more

  • The power of owning your narrative — not just your resume

Whether you’re WIT, an ally, or somewhere in between — you are welcome here.

Let’s build bold careers, together.

Plus we have some amazing new SWAG!
