April 13: Women in Tech Weekly Issue 106
In partnership with the Stereotype Breakers Discord Community
We are saddened by the continued violence against the black community. Honestly, speechless. We wish this was not happening, and would love to hear how we can better support you during this time in our Stereotype Breakers Discord Community.
In the meantime, here are some badass women who are living their dreams! 🎉

Mohima Hoque Mim just got her first internship for content writing in a IT startup organization called "The Creative Junkie"!
Mohima Hoque Mim says:
Basically my responsibility will be providing technology based content which I used write for myself every week on hashnode. It was my very first interview so I was really nervous and didn't think I would get the shot on this. So yeah I got extremely happy about my little win today when I got mail of being accepted on this company. And I want to say every amazing women out there you can do anything if you want! ❤️😇Kudos! ❤️💯

Finding your first job in tech is often the hardest - as you have no track record to prove your experience and skills working in the real world. So I have interviewed Mabel on the topic, a mathematician and machine learning enthusiast working in tech. We will talk about entry-level jobs in tech and Mabel will share her tips on how people can get them.
