You might wonder if this speaker is qualified to discuss his topic. Well, I'm in my third career and have been to more than one hundred interviews. I have been the hiring interviewer for at least three roles and have moved companies ten times in the last twenty years. It took me twelve years to change careers and break into IT.

As I said in the introduction, I've failed in so many ways at getting a job. This session is about sharing what works for me so that other people do not make the mistakes I made.

Yeah, a panel session would also be great for this.
