Finding a CS job doesn't have to suck

By Jessica

If you want a great job but feel stuck, join Zero Work; a single weekend crash course in better job hunting and career design from scratch.


“This gave me a no-fluff rundown of how to get started thinking about my career. It helped me a lot – I would recommend Zero Work to everyone.” -Jayne, 1B


In two engaging and interactive workshops, you’ll learn what employers are looking for and what you’re looking for. Practice breaking down your career options, networking without feeling like a fraud, rebuilding your resume, nailing interviews, and finding personal success within a cohort of like minded peers.  


“Zero Work is the best instructions on how to build a career that you love!” -Jordan, Graduate Studies


Plus get dozens of career strategies written by students like you about your shared problems, fireside Q&As with expert career advisors, incredible friendship opportunities, and more. This isn’t school. You’ll be taking real career steps and getting real results.


“Zero Work reminded me of learning and passion outside of school. It reminded me of why I am pursuing my future career!” -Jenn, 3A


If you’re not sure where to start, Zero Work is the first step to give you clarity and confidence.
