I asked five people who either hire, or got hired in cloud / tech about how they landed their job. We talk about the entire hiring process, from resumes to interviews.
A big thank you to Alex and Mariah who I met through (@SheSharp) a non-profit foundation for women and non-binary in the tech industry. They run some great events and a community, definitely check them out ! They are also running a Hackathon, so get involved:
Abhishek also kindly offered to help out and mentor folks looking to get into the cloud. You can find his topmate account to book and setup sessions here:

▶ A PRACTICAL START WITH CLOUD / AWS
I highly recommend Stephen Mareeks AWS courses. If you’re a total beginner I recommend the “Certified Cloud Practitioner” otherwise the “Associate Developer”. If you plan to take the exam, I also highly recommend Jon Bonso’s practice exams:
Why I recommend Stephane and Jon’s courses:
▶ WRITE A CLOUD RESUME THAT LANDS YOU THE JOB
There is no better book which explain Tech Hiring and how to write a resume that passes tech screening processes than “The Tech Resume: Inside out”. I am referenced in the book and my review (Twitter) is on the homepage. It’s free if you’re unemployed and is priced based on your location.
▶ BUILD YOUR RESUME (AS A PROJECT) USING CLOUD TECHNOLOGY
The “Cloud Resume Challenge” is a 12 step project. I love the challenge, I’m an active member of the Discord, and I have a whole playlist on YouTube to help you complete the challenge. There is a book (it’s optional), but I strongly recommend it. Get the “Cloud Resume Challenge” book:
