About event

“15 years of Java/Kotlin. Looking for an embedded position as a trainee. Not a single response. What am I doing wrong?”

This is a comment from our survey, and it keeps coming up—with different tech stacks, different levels of experience, but always met with the same silence. The problem is rarely your level of knowledge. More often, it’s that commercial IT and technical defense sectors read resumes differently.

The webinar on July 29 will help you understand the recruiter’s selection logic and the specific steps to take for different technical IT profiles.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

 — why a strong IT resume can come across as “out of context” — what recruiters look at first when screening candidates for technical defense roles — the real gaps between an IT background and embedded / firmware / CV — what to learn and in what order—for each profile — how to demonstrate relevance without defense experience

The speaker is Marta Khrypiak, Recruitment & HR Consulting Lead at Lobby X. She recruits for technical roles in MilTech and defense and will explain the selection process and provide an overview of the technical job market.

Who should attend: backend and systems developers, frontend developers, Python and ML specialists, and QA professionals with a technical background.
