Kickstart Your Career: A Student's Guide to Thriving with Google AI

In today’s AI-driven market, students wonder how to succeed beyond their degree. At past DevFests, I heard the same core question again and again: How do I land my first job?

This talk is designed to turn that uncertainty into confidence. I will show how to use Google’s AI ecosystem—from Gemini for career planning and LinkedIn optimization to AI Studio combined with Chrome DevTools AI for creating and improving a personal career website to Firebase Studio for building portfolio projects.

But this is more than just a talk. Every attendee will get access to a playbook with all prompts, examples, and practical tips—enabling them to take action immediately, build visibility, and stand out from the crowd when competing for their first role.

How to optimize Interaction to Next Paint (INP)

Google announced that Interaction to Next Paint (INP) will become a Core Web Vital metric in March 2024. To make sure you do not lose your Google search ranking boost, you should start optimizing it. In my talk, I will introduce the metric, give tips to find problems, and give recipes for optimizations.
