"I was first introduced to Hacking the Workforce in the spring of 2019. During that time, unable to land a job in software engineering. I had a bachelor's degree in communications, but was unable to land a full time job in software engineering. We discussed how some of my software engineering skills could be applicable to cybersecurity. I was provided with crucial information that helped me navigate and overcome some of the challenges of getting a full time job in the tech industry. I now have my Masters Degree, and a great job in the field. Thank you, Hacking the Workforce, for changing my life."
