Job search is a job in itself - let's do it right

Sending a resume isn’t enough. In today’s competitive tech scene, if you sit around waiting for a call, you’ll get left behind and miss great opportunities. But the good news? It’s all in your hands. Active job search is much more than a technical chore - it’s how you take control of your professional future, build yourself right, and show the world you’re the next thing.

So what is active job search, really? It means taking initiative, thinking outside the box, and building your personal brand so people can’t ignore you. It means understanding how every move you make can have impact - from tightening up your social profiles to the side project you’ll bring to the interview.

We’ve got three inspiring talks for you - three unique angles that will give you practical tools to take control of your career and make it impossible to ignore. Ready for the next step? Let’s go.

1. How to turn from a job seeker into an offer magnet - with Hila Fish

If you think job search is just sending resumes, think again. Hila Fish - mentor, international speaker, and lead singer in a cover band - is here to teach you how to turn yourself into a brand.

In this talk you’ll learn:

How your online presence can work for you 24/7. How to turn job search into a personal project that delivers results. And how to present yourself like you’re the most interesting thing to happen to the world since pizza.

Hila will show you how to do it right, because why wait for people to find you - when you can make them want you?

2. Side project: your secret weapon for your career - with Amit Shin

Side project. Sounds like something you do for fun, right? Not quite. Amit Shin, a web developer with pathological curiosity and a CSS obsession, will show you how to take that small project and turn it into a tool that makes interviewers say, “I want them on my team.”

What will you learn?

How to choose a side project that fits you (and speaks for you). How to work on it in a way that shows your talent and potential. And how to present it so you stand out exactly where it counts.

If you’re at the beginning of your journey, this talk will show you how to take something small - and turn it into big impact.

3. How to prepare for a technical interview - with Shahar Polak

Technical interview. Just thinking about it is enough to raise your pulse, right? Shahar Polak is here to help you change the whole approach.

In this talk, Shahar (an engineering manager and host of the “Developers Outside the Box” podcast) will teach you how to take technical interviews and turn them into a chance to shine:

How to prepare mentally and show up with confidence and a winning mindset. How to break down complex LeetCode-style questions into a simple method that brings order to your thinking. How to build a personal story that grabs attention and makes interviewers remember you long after the interview ends.

Because interviews are much more than code - they’re about knowing how to present yourself at your best.

Your future starts here. Three talks. Three angles. Endless ideas and tools that can make you the hottest candidates on the market.
