Work/life balance Qs: if it's important to you, you need to say it but can also emphasize you're a go getter. Set expectations.
Work/life questions: try asking them to walk you through a week or a sprint #womenintech

How do you feel out work/life balance without looking like a slacker? Ask "how do you handle unexpected things?" Is it "work all wknd"
Being passionate can make the difference -- being driven can be the biggest factor #womenintech

It's impressive to see people who are self taught. Figure out how to volunteer for projects and put that on your resume. #womenintech
Advice for people transitioning into tech: it's all about learning and truly wanting to be there #womenintech
In tech, you have to have thick skin because things move fast. #womenintech
Asking a leader to be a mentor not as effective as volunteering for value-add projects... create a win-win. #womenintech
Don't take "no" personally when asking for stretch assignments #womenintech #getpromoted
Qualities that get promotions in tech: eagerness, can do attitude, can pivot quickly. #womenintech #boss
We spend 15s on average on a resume. Be explicit about yrs of experience with specific skills. #jobhunting #womenintech
Another pet peeve: cut and paste. Show you did research into the company. #womenintech
Worst pet peeve in resumes: grammar, sentence structure #womenintech #jobhunt
