SUMMARY:Webinar: Ada Lovelace Day - Women back yourselves – the Tech Industry needs you!
DESCRIPTION:This is a Tech Alliance event\nCome and join TechWomen to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day with a conversation about getting the tech job you really want. \nAda Lovelace Day (13th October 2020) is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science\, technology\, engineering\, and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and\, in doing so\, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. \nThe IT industry\, like many others\, is actively increasing their hiring of diversity and female staff. Businesses understand that diversity brings so much more to the table. However\, there is still a shortage of females applying for roles within the IT sector\, which we are focusing on during this webinar. With a panel of very talented and experienced women across several parts of the corporate sector\, we will be discussing how women can help ourselves to push our natural boundaries when applying for a role\, understand how Covid has impacted this process within businesses and also how to read beyond a job description and remember what skills you can contribute. \nSpeakers: \nEva Sherwood\, TechWomen Chair and NZTech Board member  \n \nAmanda Watson\, TechWomen Executive member  \n \nTasia Stace – Oracle DBA Team Leader @ eIT / Servian \nTasia is a team leader who runs a team and is involved in staff recruitment.
