Does this Sound Familiar?
After 20+ years of mentoring students into roles at Google, Adobe, Microsoft, and the NSA, I've seen the same pattern destroy promising careers:
- "I've sent 100+ applications but only got 2 interviews."
- "My resume looks great—why am I getting ignored?"
- "I know I'm qualified, but I bomb every behavioral question"
- "My GitHub looks like a graveyard—how do I fix it?"
- "Everyone says to 'optimize LinkedIn' but no one tells me how"
Here's what's really happening: You're competing against candidates who are combining strategy and AI to get ahead. While you're winging it, they're using proven, tech-enabled systems.
Every week you wait, you fall further behind.

A Message from Dr. Rose Shumba
"Mentorship is ministry—because your career is part of a bigger calling."
I've spent 20+ years helping students and career changers land roles at Google, Microsoft, and the NSA—even when they felt completely unprepared.
Too many people jump straight into applications without the right foundation, then wonder why they're getting ignored by companies that should want them.
This guide was created to change that.
Whether you're preparing for your first tech role or frustrated after months of rejections, I want to help you prepare strategically with tools that actually work.
You don't need more luck. You need better preparation.
