"How do you get that experience?, The secret to this is that you get volunteer experience".
Thank you so much for this video! 💞 I love creating contents, presenting and volunteering to speak at events already. Thanks for letting me know that I'm already on the path to getting a DevRel Job 😊

For those of us working in tech already, it's difficult to share content about how our journey is going for fear of losing a current position.

I get that it's a small part of your process but I think that folks need to keep that in mind before they start broadcasting about their journey

"Vulnerability is strength". Excellent point, @JonoBacon. Think about how such powerhouse influencers such as Oprah and Brene Brown have used vulnerability to their advantage. The tips in your video are easily translatable to other career paths as well. Nice work as always--this is so powerful!
