Description

Caroline is originally from Germany and has tried many different careers on for size. She has had roles ranging from recruiting, automotive, and retail and her interest in programming began a few years ago with a desire to create a Jane Austen quote website (because who doesn’t want to read daily Jane Austen quotes?). Since then, she’s dabbled in JavaScript and Python and today is the Community Manager at Vonage. In today’s episode, we chat all about the power of community, especially within the Developer Relations space. Reflecting on her time as a recruiter, Caroline shares tips on how to write the best possible resume and get it in front of a hiring manager. We talk about how the pandemic impacted online communities and led to developers streaming on Twitch and she also gives advice on how to find tech communities that are inclusive and the right fit for you! Resources: Follow Caroline on Twitter @grumpysnek: https://twitter.com/grumpysnekCaroline’s LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/captcalli/Software and Game Development Twitch Category: https://twitch.tv/directory/game/Software%20and%20Game%20Development The Live Coders Twitch: https://twitch.tv/team/livecoders Instafluff Twitch: https://twitch.tv/instafluff BaldBeardedBuilder Twitch: https://twitch.tv/baldbeardedbuilderWe Belong Here Podcast:Follow Lauren on Twitter @LoLoCodingWeBelongPodcast.comSubscribe on AppleSubscribe on SpotifyWe Belong Here Discord CommunityJoin us on Discord Server today! bit.ly/webelongdiscord
