Course description:
This hands-on workshop is designed for women in computer science and software engineering who want to turn a “just OK” CV into a focused, convincing tech resume. We’ll look at real examples from the industry and break down what makes a CV stand out for developer, internship, and junior roles.
You’ll learn how to translate projects, coursework, and part-time jobs into strong, impact-driven bullet points; how to highlight the right technical skills without buzzword bingo; and how to address gaps, career changes, or non-linear paths honestly but confidently. We’ll also discuss patterns many women experience, such as only applying when they feel 100% qualified, and how to counter this in your CV and mindset.
Prerequisites:
Please bring your own CV.
No prior knowledge is required. Participants should have a laptop available with either a word processing program or, preferably, LaTeX installed and ready to use.
Biography: Sabrina Kynast
I earned my B.Sc. in Games Engineering from the TUM. Following this, I pursued my master’s degree in the elite graduate “Software Engineering” program. My interest in teaching and sharing knowledge led me to work as a teaching assistant during both my bachelor’s and master’s studies. After graduating, I joined the Munich-based fintech scale-up QPLIX, where I now work as an Engineering Manager, splitting my time between writing code and supporting my team’s growth. Since 2024, I have been speaking at international conferences about the challenges and opportunities of being an openly trans woman in a male-dominated sector, including a talk at DevBcn 2025.
