Weekly Friday Webinar

If you're looking to set yourself apart professionally, a professional landing page is the way to go. Beyond LinkedIn and social media (which can be confusing and off putting to a hiring manager), you could go to a professional looking website that shows you in the best light.

This week's special guest will show us how to do that using "Rjooa" a hosting platform which lets you easily create stunning websites or resume sites in no time. By attending Toronet, you'll be able to get started with Rjooa right away with a free trial. We hope to see you there.

Special Guest: Mohamed Gbane

Topic: "Building A Resume Website"

Date: April 23 (4/23)

Dm for zoom link.

Toronet is now open to the public and not exclusive to TCC TR students. We would like to meet someone who is interested in starting a tech career regardless of educational background or experience. Enrolment is FREE!

Google CEO Has Some Good Meeting Advice for You

It’s comforting to know that even the CEO of a tech giant is still learning a few things about how to run meetings. That’s exactly what Google chief executive Sundar Pichai recently confessed to Inc. magazine, as part of a wide-ranging interview about the emotional sides of his job.

The pandemic has exacerbated some issues around meetings, particularly when it comes to getting everyone on a particular team to participate. “I’ve had to rethink a lot in the context of virtual meetings,” Pichai told the magazine. “Virtual meetings are harder, because everyone’s looking at the person leading the meeting. And while some naturally participate, others hold back. I try to bring those people in, to make sure everyone participates.”

“This helps everyone not only to feel heard, but also to feel that they have a stake in the outcome,” he added.

Whether virtual or in-person, ensuring that everyone’s heard can also help boost team morale and prevent burnout. While overwork is often cited as a key cause of burnout, technologists have also reported that a lack of recognition for their work, friction with their boss, monotony, and issues with the broader team can all lead to feeling totally fried. Being included in the team’s conversation—and feeling like their concerns are heard—can hopefully mitigate at least some of those factors, but it’s up to managers and team leaders to ensure that happens.
