“I was able to get experience with technical interviewing as well as tips and tricks from attending the various workshops. I also was able to get 1:1 resume help and career advice which led to me landing a new job. Brilliant Black Minds has been instrumental in helping me feel more prepared and more confident while connecting me with a huge network of individuals who I can call upon.”
“When I first joined it was just mock interviews and feedback, then it got even better with the introduction of the Partners of Brilliance program. Some people just join groups and don’t look back but when I tell people about BBM I always lead with the mock interviews. The program has helped me to improve my resume via career coaches or other members and informed me about the value of networking and attending various tech events/conferences instead of just “blindly” sending out applications.”
“I just started my new role with Flatiron Health last week. I don’t think I would have been prepared for the technical interviews if it were not for Brilliant Black Minds. Thank you all so much for doing this great work”
